(out of five)

I enjoyed this little film, it was about what I expected. Alec Baldwin was perfect as a character you both love and hate. Meryl Streep was brilliant as always, and Steve Martin was great. His character wasn't particularly comical, a little shy and sweet, but he still got a couple scenes where he shows that he hasn't lost the ability to make us laugh. With movies like Pink Panther I was beginning to wonder (not really fair because I didn't see them, I just didn't need to)

The story was good, predictable but still enjoyable. It delivered some great laughs. Overall I really enjoyed it.









Now it has been a little while since I have watched this movie; one of the benefits of a boyfriend who works in a theater is getting to go to the manager screenings of movies before they are released. Unfortunately these movies are really late and I was so very tired when I watched this one so I wouldn't mind catching it again. I did really love this version of Sherlock but then it helps that I'm a big Robert Downey Jr. Fan. I though he was excellent as the classic detective who never lets a thing slip past his keen observation and powerful intellect. Though I don't remember Sherlock being such a badass physically, I thought is was a nice touch that he could analyze and predict fights with almost any opponent. I also loved Jude Law as Watson.

I thought the story was clever and it had a few good twists. I loved this movie and look forward to watching it again.
