Mortdecai

It's "The Pink Panther" meets "National Treasure" when a scoundrel of an art dealer Charlie Mortdecai (Johnny Depp) gets mixed up in a murder mystery/painting heist that has British Secret Service (Ewan McGregor) involved because of possible Nazi ties. Add in Gwyneth Paltrow, Paul Bettany, Olivia Mumm, and Jeff Goldblum to the cast of odd characters in this over the top comedy. True to form, Depp again creates another unique performance that you'll either love or hate. Bettany steals his scenes as Mortdecai's man servant/body guard. If you like this brand of silliness, you may enjoy this spoof on the sleuth/caper genre.

Alien gives it 2 ½ "debonair mustachioed rogue" stars out of 4.
