| Content |
A lot of discussion about Mortdecai’s moustache, time spent in a variety of country houses, British libraries and auction houses. Some fights with hand guns, swords and fists. Very little nudity, some sounds of sex. |
| A View |
There were three jokes. Johnny Depp is a British aristocrat but he is American. He has a moustache which his wife does not like. Gwyneth Paltrow is an English aristocrat, but she is American. None of them are funny. At the end of watching this I felt that I had completed some particularly arduous physical task. Hell while it was taking place and really pleased it was over. |
