There's something quite compelling about reading or watching a mystery, especially when it involves humor. And trying to solve the mystery before you reach the end is a delightful way to pass the time. A new mystery movie, The Sheep Detectives, is heading to theaters next May and it looks quite hilarious.

Here's the official synopsis from Amazon:

In this witty, new breed of mystery, George (Hugh Jackman) is a shepherd who reads detective novels to his beloved sheep every night, assuming they can’t possibly understand. But when a mysterious incident disrupts life on the farm, the sheep realize they must become the detectives. As they follow the clues and investigate human suspects, they prove that even sheep can be brilliant crime-solvers.
