Without a Clue

Film dimenticato e sottovalutatissimo. Ma per me resterà sempre una perla della genialità del regista partendo dall'idea di far comparire Sherlock Homes come un imbecille e un personaggio costruito per pubblicità. Una trovata geniale e leggera.

Brilliant one of my favourite films fun entertaining and special when films were fun and enjoyable

I remember watching this movie back when I was ten years old and liking it. I watched it again today and it's just not that funny. It stars the great Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley, it puts a nice twist on Dr. Watson being the brains and Sherlock Holmes is a dimwitted actor. Nice premise, but the mystery itself isn't that interesting and combined with a few laughs it's just not that good. It is definitely better than that Bad Will Ferrell Holmes & Watson, but that isn't saying a whole lot.

I originally watched this film at the cinema back in the 1980s and loved it. During the lockdown, I revisited it and fell in love with it all over again. Such a funny and imaginative take on the classic character. Caine and Kingsley give a master class in comedic acting.

I'll add to the underrated movie chorus. Decent take on the characters in a lovely spoof. The plot is good and they paid for good leads, which got the whole thing over the line. Love it. 👍

An amazingly bad movie. It looks like a made-for-TV movie. How did two great actors get involved in this mess?

Top notch, a continual laugh! We enjoyed every minute!

An often funny slapstick, with sometimes very sharp delivery by Caine. A few jokes fizzle, and near the end there's a couple that are just inappropriate, but as a whole it's cleverer than you expect.

I loved the concept behind this and Michael Caine was brilliant in the role, however the jokes didn't always hit as hard as I wanted them to. Still, seeing as how I have never been a big fan of the Sherlock Holmes character, this movie made him fun to watch. This is a decent soft spoof of a classic character.
