In my own opinion the film is very good, I love the story, how delicate it is made, all the setting as Mortdecai's mansion, the clothes, the luxury and delicacy of the 70's is captured in Mortdecai's style, and his way of speaking poetically, Johnny Depp plays a very funny role and the mustache moustache style gives it an old and very original touch.
Conclusion:
To conclude, the movie is charming and leaves you with a very good experience because you laugh and have a lot of fun, the photography and editing of the film is impeccable, DEPP's performance is incredible and if it leaves you wanting to see it again, I recommend the movie 100% over time the film has become a cult movie for its style and its little commercialization.
