1975 - The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother review by JD
Humour has changed a lot since 1975, but Wilder/Feldman is a mixture made in silly paradise. Mad, silly but not zany, not goofball and not grossout. A much more wonderful even surreal stupidity. With a nostalgic grin on my bouch I loved every kangaroo dance, every slap on the head to jog the memory and every fight on horse drawn carriage with a 6 foot glove.

Pretty awful - The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother review by PC
This got good reviews, but I just didnt find it funny, particularly when they burst into song. Give it a miss even if you're a Gene Wilder fan.
