IMDb plot summary: A drunken Sherlock Holmes is really just a cover for the real detective, Dr. Watson.
Directed by Thom Eberhardt. Starring Michael Caine, Ben Kingsley, Jeffrey Jones, and Lysette Anthony.
Well, this is a fun idea that doesn't ever really transform into laughs. It's all a little too broad and winky at the audience, when it could have fared better with smaller character-centric humor. I like both of the actors involved and I like Holmes mythos stories, but this one was disappointing.

Without a Clue < Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Without a Clue > Cars
Without a Clue < Beverly Hills Cop
Without a Clue < Spider-Man 3

Final spot: #2004 out of 2913.
