The reviews for Mortdecai are in and they are, ahem, mortdifying
MORTDECAI, THE FILM nobody can quite believe is an actual thing, opens in cinemas today. Starring Johnny Depp as a man with a moustache, the film has received a right drubbing from critics.
Seriously, the reviews are something else.
Robbie Collin of The Telegraph called the film “psychotically unfunny”.
Time Out awarded the film two stars and questioned who its target audience was.
Fair point.
Writing for The New York Times, Stephen Holden wrote:
The Times threw shade at Johnny Depp’s OTT accent.

The Guardian didn’t hold back at all.

But the most delightful review came courtesy of Kyle Smith at The New York Post.
