Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

To me, this movie is perfection.

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

I saw this movie with my family a few years ago because of Depp and McGregor and we all ended up laughing the whole time and enjoying it. I'm not saying it's up for best picture or anything but it's certainly a movie you can pop in and get some laughs out of.

Johnny Depp produced this comedy, which tries just a little bit too hard to be funny. Like THIS is a joke, and NOW you can laugh. Actors are good, but they overdo it. Would have worked better if the acting had been more down to earth and not so over the top.First time I saw it I was smitten with it. That's what most people will do: see it once. I have seen it 4 times now, because I loved this Depp flick so much at first watch. But later on, the childish jokes began to nag a little bit.Despite all my little criticisms "Mortdecai" is still an enjoyable popcornmovie with lots of laughs about Johnny Depp and Gwyneth Paltrow who both play with hilarious british accents. Story: they are in debt as a couple and have to sell a very precious painting, that gets stolen. The story really doesnt matter though. The story is just an excuse for lots of chases, lots of thefts and some smart contricks. And Depp and Paltrow are just a lovely and hilarious couple and they truly are the real stars of this flick. Could have been better though, but it is enjoyable nonetheless if you are into some childish (" I have to throw up ") jokes. And however nasty that may sound, the "vomit" joke is actually one of the funniest! All in all a strange balance between adult and childrens jokes. For whomever likes the sorts of Rowan Atkinson, will probably enjoy this flick as well.

One of the best comedies I have seen in years. Johnny Depp at his best, more mature version of his performance in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas or the first part of the Pirates series. The other three characters, i.e. Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor and especially Paul Bettany are most enjoyable too. It is a clever conversation comedy, something like His Girl Friday but a bit slower and more spectacular. The movie is highly stylized, just like Grand Hotel Budapest, but much better than Grand Hotel Budapest.

Offbeat screwball international caper comedy like Mortdecai can be hit and miss. If they are so full of themselves or smug like Hudson Hawk then they deserve the flak. Mortdecai in retrospect was surprisingly watchable.Lord Charlie Mortdecai (Johnny Depp) is a shady art dealer and swindler in debt to the taxman. Assisted with his sex maniac manservant Jock (Paul Bettany) they get into all sorts of scrapes. However with money problems he needs to sell one of his paintings and growing a moustache does not make him popular with his wife Johanna (Gwyneth Paltrow.)He is requested by Inspector Martland (Ewan Mcgregor) to recover a painting by Goya that has become the target of theft by a well known terrorist who has murdered an art restorer. This is a start to a search that takes Mortdecai to various countries as he is pursued by various bad guys with only Jock by his side as long he is not shot by Mortdecai. Meanwhile Martland comforts Johanna who had a thing with her during their college days.Both Paltrow and Depp practice their English accents again, Bettany meanwhile does a more thuggish accent as the hard man. Hard to believe given the critical mauling this film got but I liked it. It moves along nicely, it raises a few smiles, you get a few brief cameos and it is no doubt silly but it kinds of knows it.
