Movie Reviews of Sherlock Holmes and Baker Street Irregulars

Movie Review: Sorry................
Summary: 2 Stars

I really wish I could recommend this. There was some novelty to it, and they tried hard. The sets and costumes were first rate, for whatever that is worth. The major problem was the actor chosen to portray Holmes - too old, too soft, too nice, and way too grandfatherly. Totally unbelievable as Holmes. And the Irene Adler problem is also a PROBLEM. Too bad .......... it's fun where it coulda been great fun. ;-(

Summary of Sherlock Holmes and Baker Street Irregulars

A new Holmes delights loyal fans and a new generation in this BBC family drama

Kids are disappearing. Policemen are being poisoned. Sherlock Holmes is under house arrest, falsely accused of crimes he didn't commit.

Enter the Baker Street Irregulars. Introduced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the Holmes novel A Study in Scarlet, this savvy, street-smart team of teens become the great detective's eyes, ears, and legs. But can these kids really help Holmes stop a mastermind from stealing England's gold, the good name of her greatest sleuth, and the lives of two of their own?

Jonathan Pryce (Pirates of the Caribbean, Evita) makes a splendid Holmes in this original mystery produced for the BBC, with stellar costars Bill Paterson (Miss Potter, Wives and Daughters), Anna Chancellor (MI-5, Four Weddings and a Funeral), Michael Maloney (Babel, Notes on a Scandal), and six rising young stars as the plucky Irregulars.

DVD SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE a bio of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, photo gallery, and cast filmographies.


The Baker Street Irregulars, London street urchins who provided reconnaissance for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, have long been ripe for an adventure of their own. British television movie Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars fills the bill pretty well, with an original story that finds an old enemy of Holmes masterminding the destruction of the sleuth as well as his young allies. When the disappearance of one Irregular happens to coincide with a bizarre plot to murder Scotland Yard inspectors, not even Holmes (Jonathan Pryce) sees a connection until it's too late. By then, two kids are missing and suspicion falls on Holmes himself for the cop killings, forcing him to entrust his fate--and that of the others--to the children who work tirelessly for him. The mystery and drama are satisfying, though Doyle purists will balk at the film's liberties with Holmes' personal and professional history. The story, however, really has more to do with redefining the Irregulars as a kind of family unto themselves, poor kids who have no one without one another, and no purpose without their occasional marching orders from a man they very much admire. This is a family movie that can be enjoyed even by those who've never heard of Sherlock Holmes, though a passing familiarity helps. With Bill Paterson as Dr. Watson and Michael Maloney as a typically obtuse inspector. --Tom Keogh
