Johnny Depp stars as the titular Mortdecai and tries to bring his own unique brand of quirks and mannerisms into the character, however, thanks to the poor script, fails spectacularly. Mortdecai is supposed to be a comedy but it lacks any sort of humor, it has attempts but it fails 100% of the time with its tired cliches or lame gags. Even the plot isn't too interesting to begin with, a painting is stolen and Mortdecai, an art dealer, travels the world to find it. It is supposed to be a plot of deception, with twists and turns but it comes up short and feels very boring. Mortdecai is portrayed as a clumsy fool, with a dedicated manservant who does all the work. Mortdecai is supposed to be the endearing character as you laugh as the accidents he causes but it all fails, he ends up being an annoying weird idiot. At 100 minutes long, it is still way too long, with a bad script and bad characters, this is one of the worst movies and not worth watching.
