Just dig in!
I watch everything when Johnny Depp is in it. He hardly can make a bad movie.
This movie is a funny mash-up of the different sleuth-stories, like those of Agatha Christie and the Sherlock Holmes ones. The combination of the quicksilvery Gwyneth Palthrow, the TerryThomas style of Depp and the deadpan acting of Paul Bettany - who is irresistably funny here - is a perfect combi with the straight acting of Ewan McGregor. Let yourself just go with the flow and follow this funny, over the top-story. The movie has a fast pace and doesn't take itself too seriously. It has, in fact, everything a good English movie has and has something most Americans lack (in my humble opinion): self-deprecating humour.
