The Reel Deal
Sherlock Holmes(rated PG-13), starring Robert Downey, Jr., Jude Law, and Rachael McAdams
This recreation of the renowned Holmes' adventures presents Downey, Jr., and Law as if they were the next Newman and Redford - with the flair of Penn and Teller! The special effects were kind of cool, and the stunt choreography was exacting, but the enchanting McAdams too-small role could not save this too-long comedic/dramatic tale, and having to explain everything was only necessary because you are caught in the middle of your yawns. If you really want to see each act exposed and explained - go see Penn & Teller - they're funnier!
