Reviews for this film from our members:
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: …a very silly movie with a game cast whose commitment is occasionally engaging…Depp and Bettany are like an English variation on Inspector Clouseau and Cato.
- Jim Dixon @ Examiner.com
- Excerpt: The deliberately retro pseudo 60s music score by Mark Ronson and Geoff Zanelli for the most part sounds like a porn movie, which is appropriate, since the general attitude towards women is a little bit like a lecture on feminism by Bill O’Reilly at a wet t-shirt contest.
- M. Enois Duarte @ High-Def Digest.com
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: Mortdecai is the stuff that inspires stipulations in wills, as in, “Have some basic decency on the event of my passing, and don’t let people bring up that one movie.”
- Hugo Gomes @ Cinematograficamente Falando … [Portuguese]
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: A tiresome misfire that’s mortifying for all concerned…
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: This painfully unfunny spoof of teddibly British nonsense couldn’t be less amusing if it were actually calculated to be totally laugh-free.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: It’s quite terrible. Quite.
- Nell Minow @ The Movie Mom
- Pat Mullen @ Cinemablographer
- Excerpt: Even silly, harmless, goofy films premised on mustaches jokes have limited mileage, though, and Mortdecai milks Depp’s snot mop for every laugh it can get and then some.
- Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Numa época em que se consegue ver a mesma receita de filme todos os meses no cinema com títulos diferentes e a afirmar-se como o melhor filme do ano do género (não interessa qual), é bom variar ocasionalmente e ver algo saído dos anos 70 que sabe ser mau.
- Francis Rizzo III @ DVDTalk
- Excerpt: A loose, silly, but ultimately boring caper
- Diego Salgado @ Guía del Ocio [Spanish]
- Amir Siregar @ Flick Magazine [Indonesian]
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: Arch, artificial comedy…a thoroughgoing disaster.
- Sarah Ward @ Concrete Playground
- Ron Wilkinson @ Monsters and Critics
- Excerpt: Johnny Depp as an updated Baron Munchausen.
