...it's impossible not to derive some pleasure out of Caine and Kingsley's effortless chemistry with one another...

Reel Film Reviews
...Droll and imaginative enough to generate a steady stream of chuckles, punctuated by outright laughs....This handsome production re-creates its late Victorian era with apparent ease and perfection...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3/4 --
The role reversal proves to be an irresistible hook for a comedy, and for the most part, Without a Clue delivers on this idea, with wonderful performances by Kingsley and Caine and crackling banter by scripters Gary Murphy and Larry Strawther.

Conceit was good, execution weak and faulty

An inspired taken on the "Holmes" legend....some good laughs to be had

Rating: 2/4 --
This is an amusing premise, but it is not enough. In order to effectively satirize something, you must first transcend it.

Uma divertida brincadeira que explora bem as características dos personagens de uma maneira nova, beneficiando-se principalmente da interação entre os ótimos Caine e Kingsley.

Product Description:
WITHOUT A CLUE presents an original twist on the famous Sherlock Holmes-Dr. John Watson stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This time, Dr. Watson's the one with a talent for solving mysteries, while Holmes is nothing but his fictional creation. After inventing the sleuth in a series of popular stories based on crimes he's solved, Dr. Watson decides to satisfy the public's desire to see Holmes by hiring actor Reginald Kincaid to masquerade as the brilliant detective. Soon however Dr. Watson grows to despise the bumbling Kincaid, so he ends their partnership and comes up with a new character modeled after himself. But the new creation just doesn't go over well with the public and the doctor must once again depend upon Kincaid -- just in time to solve a new mystery. Then Watson suddenly vanishes... leaving Holmes to solve the case on his own.
