Aubrey Plaza’s Breakout Movie Role Was Alongside Donald Glover in This Charming, Late 2000s Comedy

Donald Glover’s Jason Rogers owned a car but still insisted on riding his bike everywhere with his friends as if it were part of their superhero origin story. That alone tells you everything you need to know about Mystery Team. The movie itself hones in on a trio of overgrown boy detectives who never quite got the memo that childhood ends. In this delightfully unhinged 2009 comedy, Glover plays Jason, the group’s self-declared “Master of Disguise,” alongside DC Pierson as their “Boy Genius” Duncan Wheeler, and Dominic Dierkes as Charlie Day, the “Strongest Kid in Town.” When they were younger, it was cute, but as high school seniors, the biggest cases handed to them usually involved pie sabotage or missing pets—that is, until they stumble across an actual murder that forced them to take their dime-store detective act into the real world.
