Suppose further that his companion, Sherlock Holmes was a simpleton a drunk, degenerate, unemployed actor hired so the doctor could dabble in detection without distrubing the medical community. Watson solved the crimes. Holmes took the credit. It should have been the perfect arrangement. It wasn't. Summary from container insert.

  • ""Dr. John Watson (Kingsley) is secretly a crime-solving genius. But to protect his reputation as a physician, he hires bumbling, boozy, out-of-work actor Reginald Kincaid (Caine) to play the part of his fictional creation, Sherlock Holmes. The charade works until Watson mysteriously disappears, forcing the baffled, seriously inept 'Holmes' to crack the biggest case of Watson's career on his own"--Container."@en
  • "Legendary detective Sherlock Holmes and the inimitable Dr. Watson (or is the other way around?) are at the center of this comic spoof that stars ACADEMY AWARD®-Winning actors Michael Caine (1999, Best Supporting Actor, The Cider House Rules; 1986 Best Supporting Actor, Hannah and Her Sisters) and Ben Kingsley (1982, Best Actor, Gandhi). Dr. John Watson (Kinglsey) has fooled the world. He's created a work of fiction in the figure of the crime-solving sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, when it is he himself who has set about solving crimes. With the public demanding to see the legendary Holmes in the flesh, and to keep the charade in play, Watson hires out-of-work actor Reginald Kincaid (Caine) to assume the role with very mixed, and very funny, results. The game's afoot with Watson and the Unlikely Holmes hot on the trail of Professor Moriarty (Paul Freeman, Raiders of the Lost Ark), the nefarious mastermind behind a plot that could topple the British Empire." -- From case."

It should have been a perfect arrangement; it wasn't."@en
  • "The outrageous comedy about the world's greatest detective and his bumbling partner, Sherlock Holmes. This is a Sherlock Holmes story with a difference. Here Dr Watson is the ace detective and has been using an actor to play the part Holmes. Holmes is a drunken actor and gets on Watson's nerves. When Watson tries to go it alone, he doesn't have much success, so he is forced to let Holmes take all the credit once more."@en
  • "With the premise that Dr. Watson was the real master crime solver and Sherlock Holms a figment of his imagination, this movie is the comedy caper of the year."
  • ""With deerstalker cap perched smartly on his head, and Inverness cape hanging smoothly from his frame, master sleuth Sherlock Holmes faces the press with elegant ease. He is about to reveal the clues which eluded Scotland Yard and now enabled him to close another baffling case. There is only one small hitch. ... he hasn't got a clue how to solve a crime."--Case."@en
  • "In this twist on the Sherlock Holmes stories, Watson is the real detective, and Holmes is a bumbling fool. Watson finally tires of Holmes' inept performances and boots him out, but is forced to work with him again when Scotland Yard has a big case to solve, and they insist they want Holmes."@en
