Meet The World's Greatest Detective And His Bumbling Partner..Sherlock Holmes.
Suppose for a moment that Dr. Watson was the real brains behind Sherlock Holmes? The result is anything but elementary! Academy Award winners Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley deliver stellar performances as "a delightful duo, an 1890's Odd Couple" (Los Angeles Times) in this madcap mystery that's "the most hilarious Sherlock Holmes adventure of them all" ("Sneak Previews")!
Dr. John Watson (Kingsley) is secretly a crime-solving genius. But to protect his reputation as a physician, he hires bumbling, boozy, out-of-work actor Reginald Kincaid (Caine) to play the part of his fictional creation, Sherlock Holmes. The charade works until Watson mysteriously disappears, forced the baffled, seriously inept "Holmes" to crack the biggest case of Watson's career on his own!

One of the funniest movies ever gets one of the lamest DVD releases ever - 2.25 out of 5 (6/7/2004)
What an inventive and funny film! I saw this in the theater and have seen it repeatedly on TV and VHS. The Sherlock Holmes mythology is turned on its head by having Holmes turn out to be an actor hired by the real genuis, Watson, to disguise the truth that he is the real sleuth. Hysterical mayhem ensues. The performances are flawless; Kingsley and Caine have fabulous chemistry and great comic timing. Too bad the studio put out this clunker of a DVD - Full Screen only, no extras. Okay, so it's n
