It's official; Depp has lost his mind. This film should be used as a replacement for
water torture as it would be a far more effective
tool in tormenting the wicked; but that same proposal would be unacceptable as
it is far less humane. Director Koepp, who
has worked with Johnny before but with a much darker fare, now attempts a
Clouseau meets MOD Squad look and feel with this outing. I stress the word, attempt, as the humor,
script, and performances are mostly stale only briefly venturing into absolutely
precociousness as a changeup. It's stellar cast is abruptly eclipsed by the utter silliness of a predictable and tired
whodunit with zero thrills and even less charm and entertainment value. My heart
breaks, as one of the brightest stars of the last two decades and the man who
brought us one of the most iconic characters of our time, seems to be quickly
turning into a depressing caricature of himself. It may be true; stay a hero long enough, you
become a villain, at least to your fans.
0 out of 5 Kernels; sorry Jack, there
isn't enough rum to make me to find this funny and that volume would kill me
before it could, as if there were any hope of it in the first place.
