Leave your thoughts about Mortdecai.
| AV ClubJesse HassengerIt’s exactly the sort of oddball trifle, like Hudson Hawk, that tends to attract the ire of baffled audiences and grumpy critics. It’s also the sort of oddball trifle that, like Hudson Hawk, will put certain aficionados of silliness in a pretty good mood. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkThere's nothing worse than a film that's laughing at itself while the auditorium is silent, and while Mortdecai inspires a few chuckles, it never fully delivers. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeYou may not like it, but it's hardly the worst movie ever made. It isn't even anywhere near the worst movie released this month. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereDepp is this generation's Peter Sellers, but he shouldn't invite the comparison playing a character so much like Sellers' signature alter ego. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattThe movie is too odd and randy to play for kids on an Austin Powers level, and too broad to really work as farce. But Depp, god bless him, fully commits, and finds a few genuinely funny moments amidst all the outsize mugging and mild sociopathy. |
| Film School RejectsChristopher CampbellReminds me of the viral videos parodying Wes Anderson's style made by people who clearly don't get the filmmaker at all. |
| Consequence of SoundBlake GobleMortdecai isn't all that funny, quick-witted, or even that interesting. It's yet another misunderstood outsider, fish-out-of-water, unreal, and oblivious hero scenario for Johnny Depp. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowThere was no laughter, just grim resolve on the part of those of us professionally obligated to stick it out through the bitter end. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonJohnny Depp as an updated Baron Munchausen. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA thoroughgoing disaster...which aims to be a larkish homage to caper movies of the sixties but falls dismally short of the target. |
