    According to Without a Clue, master detective Sherlock Holmes was a wholly fictional character. Well, we knew that; what we didn't know was that Holmes was a figment of the imagination of his chronicler, Dr. John Watson (Ben Kingsley). When Holmes' fame begins to grow, would-be clients besiege Watson's office for chance to consult the Great Detective. In desperation, Watson hires a seedy provincial actor (Michael Caine) to pose as Holmes. Trouble is, the preening actor hasn't got a clue -- about anything. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    April 15, 2004: This is a must for anyone who feels the good Doctor deserves more credit then he gets. Combining the long-suffering nature of the original Dr. Watson, the method of Holmes, and Sir Doyle's own annoyance with the legendary consulting detective, and you have the perfect lead for this intelligent spoof of the so-called 'Sacred Text'. Not for the humorless Holmes fan, this movie pokes fun at the British public's infatuation with the detective. Such as it was, that any declaration, no matter how minute (or inaccurate!) he uttered was accepted as obvious sign of his genius. All the while the man who walked beside him could not gain the least modicum of respect, despite his own sharply accurate deductions. Those who worshiped the original Holmes as in infallible deity will take offense at this movie, but those who enjoyed the mystery, the distinctive Victorian style, and the genuine (if sometimes strained) friendship, shall find all these things intact in this mix of subtle and slap-stick comedy.

    February 10, 2004: This movie is without a doubt one of the funniest movie's ever made. It's a luagh a minute for the entire movie. You wouldn't think these two actors would be the comedic type but I think that's why it's so funny. Michael Caine's style is just phenominal which makes it so funny. If you want comedy this is the movie to get.
