What to Know

Critics Consensus

Aggressively strange and willfully unfunny, the misguided Mortdecai sounds a frightfully low note in Johnny Depp's post-Pirates filmography.

Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle This one's dead on arrival. Rated: 1/5 Jan 29, 2015 Full Review Scott Tobias The Dissolve The jokes are astonishingly unfunny, splitting the cast between those desperate to please, and those looking to slip off with most of their dignity intact. Rated: 1/5 Jan 26, 2015 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times This wilfully terrible film marks a significant juncture in Johnny Depp's peculiar career. It is, to him, as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was to the Balkan League. Rated: 1/5 Jan 26, 2015 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies I feel as though “Mortdecai” revolves around a continuous inside joke that I was never let in on. Surely a comedy can’t be this anemic, lame, and humorless. Rated: 1/5 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review This madcap caper exists only to provide an excuse for the movie's crude zaniness and gratingly repetitive gags. Rated: 1/4 Jul 12, 2022 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Capers flicks of a bygone era had a swingin', hip feel of controlled chaos not overplayed farce but Depp is pedal-to-the-metal, quirking-it-up in a display completely without charm and worse, without wit. Rated: 1/5 Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Neil F I must be daft or defecient because I really like this movie. It's silly and good humored and fun. So much more to my taste than the wretched Austin Powers cowpats. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Jeffrey F The folks who have panned this film are followers. If they can't enjoy this one then they are absent from their sense of humor. I loved the story...clever and funny all the way. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Whit H Amazing movie!! Great laughs!!!! A true hidden gem! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review Wade H This movie might be a movie out of time. I didn't see it in the theater but 10 years later, sitting at home looking for something different, I discovered this gem. I laughed A LOT. It was silly and weird and fun in all the right ways. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review Ash C One of my favourite movies. A modern funny in the ways of Wodehouse and The Importance of Being Earnest. Both thumbs up. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Audience Member I actually like this...Oscar? No...bit of light fun? Yes...an easy watch Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Read all reviews
