Quite a conundrum

Johnny Depp does his best Terry Thomas and Paul Whitehouse impersonations (the latter was tailored a role of his own as well) as Mortdecai, Lord of Silverdale, art dealer. Haven't read any reviews or comments on the movie yet, but I reckon it hasn't been well received since it's after all quite awkward, fast-paced, more so quick-witted than humour unambiguous. Not essentially my genre either, but the story of a stolen Goya and the actors (Depp, Whitehouse, Ewan McGregor, Paul Bettany, Gwyneth Paltrow) acting upon its mystery, present themselves quite nicely.

No comments:

It's clobbering time

This is pure nonsense. Entertaining and well-made cartoon-like action, but there's no point in expecting anything great from this. Ove...
