Mortdecai
(Lionsgate)
PROS:
– The impressive ensemble cast also features Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGreggor and Olivia Munn.
– Adult crowds could be in the mood for a goofy comedy after taking in Oscar contenders.
CONS:
– Depp’s drawing power is not what it once was. The actor is definitely on a losing streak lately.
– Reactions to the trailer on Facebook and Twitter have not been overly enthusiastic.
