Über diesen Film

Johnny Depp, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Ewan McGregor lead an all-star cast in this criminally funny comedy. After a priceless painting is stolen, shady art dealer Charlie Mortdecai (Depp) is recruited by an old rival (McGregor) to get it back. Mortdecai questions his rival's intentions, but takes the job for the money and to keep his high-maintenance wife (Paltrow) happy. With the help of his manservant, Mortdecai must face terrorists, angry Russians, and more in a hilarious globe-trotting chase.

I thought this was a fun movie, which was based on a book DON'T POINT THAT THING AT ME. The soundtrack is awesome, the quips between lord and man servant and lord and detective were hilarious. The problem here is Gwyneth Paltrow. She didn't seem to fit the part. I believe they could have casted someone who had more chemistry with Depp. Depp is a chameleon who can play any character and nearly any genre. He's one of the best actors of our time. Don't take this film seriously. It's a fun little comedy.

I do not watch a movie because it has this actor or that actor in it.I watch a movie based on its merits of the screenwriter(s),director,poducers,and then actors.A great screenplay can carry the lack of talent of the director and actors,a talented director can motivate the worst of actors and maybe minuplate the screenplay to make a film and the producers, the really good ones, find ways to make crap into gold. With that said, there was nothing that could save this crap but to flush.

I enjoyed this, it's kind of an aristocratic Austin Powers, very British humor but with a 20th century Hollywood formula structure. Johnny Depp was delightful, even though the humor is largely based in stereotypes and tropes, it's an amusing little comedy, probably lost on people who don't care for English humor.
