Description:

US VA Court Documents: Amber Heard Exhibit 32 - Article - "Johnny Depp's eccentric playboy comedy ‘Mortdecai' is a fop flop," 1/22/15

“Mortdecai” is mortdifying, a mortdal sin of a movie that’s headed for the cinematic mortduary.

Bertie Wooster meets Austin Powers in the person of the title character, an English lord played by a simpering, fluttery Johnny Depp, who spends the entire movie begging us to laugh at his mustache.

The buffoonish Lord Charlie Mortdecai is enlisted by a copper (Ewan McGregor) with a crush on the aristo’s wife (Gwyneth Paltrow) to find out what happened to a stolen Goya painting. Mortdecai’s snarling henchman (Paul Bettany) is named Jock Strapp, which is the movie’s idea of a naughty double entendre. “Every man should have a Jock, don’t you think?” muses Mortdecai. Told he is in debt, Mortdecai says, “I had no idea I was so deep in Her Majesty’s hole.” Despite being set in contemporary times, the film seems to hope to be mistaken for the dumbest slapstick sex farce of 1965.
