The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother

Rating:
Summary: Chadder- to eat Fat!!
Review: A fabulous farce akin to Young Frankenstein in the manner in which it takes a fond look at the Sherlock Holmes era. The trio of Kahn, Feldman and, Wilder are in top form and worth every cent. The rest of the cast are excellent too. As one earlier reviewer put it, this comedy was definitely aimed at the adult market. Its way past time that this movie was released on DVD.

Summary: Excellent screwball comedy
Review: Excellent cast, musical numbers, and ending. My wife was mad for this movie and went on about "very sexy wine" regularly. We finally got our mitts on a VHS copy and loved it. Without a doubt a very very funny movie.

Rating:
Summary: Not very well known, but should be.
Review: Gene Wilder has talent. If he really wrote and directed this, and he did, I should see other movies he wrote and directed. It was very funny. Out of **** I'd give it ***1/2. They should dig this movie back up at fox and make a DVD out of it. It's going to be a classic. Not bigger than "Young Frankenstein" but it should be big. If you haven't seen this, then see it. You'll like it.

Summary: Wilder & Company's Hysterical Homage to Sherlock Holmes
Review: Gene Wilder's "The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother" has a unique snap & sparkle, with a thread of insanity, that makes it one of my favorite film comedies. While very funny and often irreverant, the film pays affectionate tribute to the wonderful Conan Doyle franchise of Holmes' stories. It is also well-produced, with brooding photography and honest depictions of period London settings. But perhaps the best thing about "Holmes' Smarter Brother" is its zany cast, from Marty Feldman, Madelaine Kahn and Wilder himself, to wonderfully crazed performances by Leo McKern as the infamous Dr. Moriarty and Dom DeLuis as a bizarrely-affected opera impressario. This film is first rate FUN and should become a classic in the comedic vein of Mel Brooks'"Young Frankenstein", "Blazing Saddles" and "High Anxiety". I highly recommend "Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother" and hope we can all soon add it to our DVD collections.

Summary: Great flick! Beware-originals are scarce!
Review: I bought this movie as a gift for my dad as our family loves this film! I watched it a lot as a child. Once again, Gene Wilder had part in a film where the humor was way ahead of its time! Classic good family fun. We all enjoyed reliving the scenes & quoting the whole movie like fools. I would recommend it to all ages. *NOTICE THERE ARE RARELY ANY FOR SALE, I RECEIVED A FAKE (COPY) THAT JUMPS AND SKIPS AND WAS DISAPPOINTED-KNOW YOUR SELLER ON THIS ITEM!

Summary: SHEER BRILLIANCE!!
Review: i love this film!! i first saw it when i was very young and i've loved it ever since. im a huge fan of gene wilder and madeline kahn and i think they work so well together. madelines character jenny hill or should i say bessy bellwood is hilarious as is gene wilders sigerson. dont even get me started on dom deluise! he has me in stitches everytime, orville sacker and professor moriarty are equally amazing. As for the plot well its genius! i mean come on, the kangaroo hop for gods sake! this film manages to be both random and brilliant at the same time and i cant praise it enough. its a shame that madeline kahn is no longer with us, she's a true talent. its also a shame that gene wilder doesnt do films anymore, hes an example of a true actor. i'd love to see this cast conjour up another side splitting film like this, they certainly dont make em like that anymore!!

Summary: Absolutely fascinating
Review: I watched in amazement that such a great comedy could have escaped my knowledge for so many years. Why this movie isn't featured as the top Gene Wilder film is beyond my imagination. It is positively side splitting nuts and crazy and filled with all sorts of senseless nonsense. Exactly the recipe for bizarre absurdity that delights fans of Gene Wilder. I thought this to be among the best of Mel Brook's because so many of his featured stars were in the film.

Summary: Classic Gene Wilder
Review: If you love Gene Wilder, this movie is a must see. I saw it when it first came out and then again last year. This is one of the funniest movies ever made. I looked for it everywhere last year, and finally saw it on some movie channel. This has to be on DVD! I hope the studio who has the rights comes to their senses!
