Summary: A great movie that deserves a better DVD
Review: There are no extras, apart from the theatrical trailer. Well, fair enough, there were no extras on the VHS release. But it's fullscreen. Could no one at MGM be bothered to find a widescreen print? If you've never seen Without a Clue, listen to the other reviewers and don't hesitate to grab the disc. But if you're hoping to upgrade your VHS copy...there's no rush.

Summary: WITHOUT A DVD!!!
Review: This is by far Michael Caine's best comedic performance. The only reason it is so often overlooked is that it was released right around the same time as Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, which unfortunately got the bigger following because of Steve Martin. Ben Kingsley's performance as the frustrated Dr. Watson is likewise a gem. In fact, the whole cast is top notch. How to improve on perfection? Elementary. BRING IT OUT ON DVD!!!!

Summary: Classical Sherlock Holmes Movie
Review: This is one of those movies that you remember for years. In this version of the movie Watson (played by Ben Kingsley) is the intelligent one and Holmes (played by Michael Caine) is the one who is without a clue. In the beginning of the movie, after one too many screw ups, Watson throws Holmes out of his house. Then, the plates for the 5lb notes of England have been stolen and Watson is forced to take Holmes back. Without giving away the plot, that sets the stage for many laughs through out the whole movie. This movie is one that you want to get.

Summary: Great fun!
Review: This movie is a terrific spoof of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's characters. "Holmes" is actually an idiot actor hired by Watson to play the famous detective. The laughs just keep coming as the movie proceeds and never let up.

Summary: Very Good, Even if you don't "KNOW" the stories
Review: This movie was hilarious! I had just recently read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's canon of Sherlock Holmes stories, so I was ready to see a different "interpretation" of the facts. I sat down and watched this movie with a friend, who knew nothing about Holmes besides the usual: "Elementary my dear Watson" and the deerstalker hat and cape. We both had a ball watching this movie. The premise reminded me of one of my favorite TV Sleuth shows, Remington Steele. Great great fun!

Summary: The Real Story Behind Sherlock Holmes
Review: Very funny movie about the real brains behind Sherlock Holmes. If Holmes is the drunken, clueless numbskull he seems to be, who does all the detective work, and who solves all those crimes? Very entertaining, especially for fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's character.

Summary: Very clever, a lot of fun!
Review: What if Dr. Watson (Ben Kingsley) is the real detective and Sherlock Holmes is his fictional alter ego whose name he created and uses to protect his medical practice? And what if, when pressured to produce Holmes to the public, Watson hires an out-of-work actor to pretend to be Holmes (Michael Caine). All Holmes has to do is what Watson tells him to do as he, Watson, does all the sleuthing. This is the clever premise of this film -- all the more clever if you know that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a doctor who wrote the Holmes detective mysteries on the side. Of course, things start to spiral out of control when "Holmes" tries to solve the mysteries without Watson and "Holmes" makes up a lot of the famous mannerisms. Lots of humor, a good mystery and very nice repartee between the two men as Watson becomes increasingly exasperated with his creation. (This has an almost "Remington Steele" like premise if any of you remember that 1980s TV show staring Pierce Brosnam.) A very under-rated film with a top notch cast. I have not seen this film on the new DVD so can't comment on the quality of this DVD. I'm just reviewing the film itself.
