The problem here is that the script is simply unamusing. Despite the fine costuming and acting, the director could only do so much with witless dialog. This is a major disappointment for those seeking comedy and an offense to all serious Sherlock Holmes fans.
May 21, 2008 |  | Michael Caine is brilliantly thick |  |
Reginald Kincaide was an out of work actor hired by Dr. Watson to play his fictitious detective Sherlock Holmes, from there the humor ensues. As any actor will tell you, comedy is hard, and the cast of this well written script is up to the task. This is one of those marvelous British comedies that only they seem to be able to do. If you liked "Johnny English" or "Keeping Mum" you'll like this film. It's one of my absolute favorites. If you love Sherlock Holmes and don't mind poking fun at him, you'll also appreciate this movie (BTW Basil Rathbone is Sherlock for me.)
March 2, 2008 | | A Delightful Spoof of Sherlock Holmes! | |
Holmes a drunken actor bumbling through the part he was hired to play? Watson the "crime doctor", a mastermind of the art of deduction? That's just the beginning in this droll, witty comedy. (Sir) Ben Kingsley and Michael Caine (Sir Maurice Micklewhite) are wonderful together as Watson and Holmes/Kincaid in this entertaining farce. Though it never quite rises above four stars, this is still a movie well worth seeing for its entertainment value: good script, good supporting cast, beautiful locations, sets and costumes. An excellent evening's diversion!
November 28, 2007This movie combines two of the greatest talents, Ben Kingsley and Michael Caine in a romp with good old-fashioned charm. It doesn't tax the brain and shows off the wit and cleverness of two very talented actors in a Holmes spoof. Great fun!
November 5, 2007I knew I liked this spoof of Sherlock Holmes already, but I wanted to own a copy of it. It is great fun. It arrived in a timely fashion.
