It’s not laugh out loud but more satire on people’s hypocritical attitudes towards celebrity, in this case pandering to popularity. Overall is funny, has a touch of the ridiculous, a tad slapstick and a decent armchair detective movie. The plot revolves around the counterfeiting of £5 notes, the rivalry between them and LeStrade/the police and battling an archenemy. Watson wishes he could rid himself of his bumbling Sherlock but is forced to admit he needs him. His ability to remember his lines is pretty good but he does insist on fluffing them, ad-libbing and mistaking words but manages to save himself through bluffing and bravado, with trusty Watson watching his back and ever imagining stabbing it. Hence he employs an actor named Reginald Kincaid to pretend to be Sherlock in flesh and blood unfortunately he’s also an avid drinker, gambler and womanizer. Holmes is a fictional character in a work of fiction based on truth and Watson is the author and the detective.ĭr Watson is a doctor who solved crimes on the sly and writes the popular Sherlock Holmes adventures for The Strand magazine, the only thing is no one is interested in Dr Watson or his opinions unless they are voiced via the fictional Sherlock Holmes who the public believes to be real. Starring Michael Caine and Ben Kingsly Without a Clue is a comedy caper, a parody on the canonical crime fighting duo this film uses role reversal to show Holmes and Watson in a different perspective.
