The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother

Madelaine Khan is at her most brilliant; she is sexy, funny, and beyond campy. Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, and Dom Deloise star in a classic and everyone is here for a classic Mel Brooks movie except Mel. Gene Wilder directs. I... Full review

Definitely an underrated film. One of my favorite scenes is where Professor Moriarty is having everyone bid for the letter and his assistant is eating from the bowl of potato chips and finally makes his assistant spit out the potato... Full review

Well, I can see that this movie really didn't get the best reviews, which surprised me as it is one of my favorite movies ever.I thought back on it while posting my 9 out of 10 review and I can... Full review

I'd rate this below Young Frankenstein, but above any other Gene Wilder comedy. The cast is terrific, especially GW, Madeline Kahn, Dom DeLuise and Leo McKern. Also, Marty Wilder has many good bits, and Roy Kinnear and John LeMeseuier add... Full review

I thought this film was purely outrageous. Gene Wilder (Sigerson), Madeleine Kahn (Jenny Hill), and Marty Feldman (Orville Stanley Slacker... er, I mean Sacker) each give the performance of a lifetime. Not to mention Leo McKern (whom I recognized from... Full review

There are a select few movies that I enjoy more each time I watch them. "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother" is one of them. I've seen the movie over 20 times, and I laugh out loud every single... Full review

All right I take that back. This may not have been the first movie I ever saw (I think that was either "Return of the Jedi" or "The Rescue Rangers"), but this was the first movie I remember enjoying thoroughly.... Full review

The other reviewer on this site clearly doesn't understand the subtleties of the comic genius of Gene Wilder (Sigerson Holmes), Madeline Kahn (Jenny Hill, or should I say Bessie Besswood), Marty Feldman (Sgt. Sacker of Scotland Yard) and the rest... Full review

I really don't understand why this film isn't better-known. It's been a favorite of mine for years, and is very funny, if rather off-beat and quirky. Perhaps it's an acquired taste, and its nay-sayers haven't watched it enough; I don't... Full review

One of the funniest films ever. Several comic geniuses on the top of their form and more great lines and inspired sequences than I could begin to tell. And 'The Kangaroo Hop', the best song ever. See it now.Nothing more... Full review

Wilder isnt greatly talkative, but what he does have to say is worth hearing. Its very good to see (or hear, rather) Wilder contribute a running commentary to the DVD. ... Full Review

The film works best when Wilder, Kahn and Feldman appear onscreen together. For the most part, that works fine, though I feel the film would have fared better with a more coherent plot. To be sure, an excellent cast bolsters matters. ... Full Review

The only other special feature is a nice one -- optional commentary by Gene Wilder himself. I think the commentary track may have been a bit better if Wilder had someone else there with whom he could have carried on a conversation. ... Full Review
