Johnny Depp took his inspiration for his performance as, and characterization of, Charlie Mortdecai from classic English film comedians such as Peter Sellers, Sidney James, Bernard Cribbins, and especially Terry-Thomas, the irrepressible, gap-toothed star who defined the term "upper class twit" for several generations.

Quotes
[first lines]

As you may well know, I am many things. An arts dealer, an accomplished fencer, fair shot with most weapons. I am loved and respected by all who know me - slightly.

Why so much bad press over an American movie filled with British humor? The negative reviews apparently all come from people in the united states... weirdos.
I saw this movie last night; and liked it. For some reason, the children that seem to make up the American audience these days, seem to think that it's a stupid movie. Why? A few days ago, I saw Kingsman: The Secret Service, the film adaptation of a comic mini-series, and thought it was excellent. Look at the rating for Kingsman; it's way higher than this film. Yet, it seems only because Mortdecai is mostly VERY British humor; different than what yanks are used to.
I'm glad I saw Mortdecai; I left the cinema feeling pleasant and entertained. Give it an honest try, it's not junk.
