The Travelling Toe wonders how many more quirky roles Johnny Depp can play in his career. He has been The Mad Hatter, Tonto, Barnabas Collins, The Big Bad Wolf, and Edward Scissorhands just to name a few. Well, dear readers he has added another one to his repertoire - Lord Charlie Mortdecai, with an elaborate mustache upon his face.

The Lord is in deep financial peril as his taxes of a vast sum are late being paid to the British Government and he is about to lose the family estate. He seems inapt of making any type of deal that would save his estate. But his wife Johanna, played by Gwyneth Paltrow, is so much smarter than Charlie or his friend, a MI5 agent, played by the very handsome Ewan McGregor, that in the end she saves the day....or does she?????????? The plot of the movie centers on Lord Mortdecai trying to locate a stolen painting that contains the account number of a secret bank account full of Nazi gold that was stolen during the World Ward II occupation of Paris. Needless to say others are also after this same information and the gold.

Lord Mortdecai's valet, Jock, played by the debonair Paul Bettany, who not unlike what Bates would do on Downton Abbey, always as the Lord's back no matter what or who is after them - as well has having a bit of hanky-panky with lady friends or even strangers on a plane for that matter!

This is not a movie for everyone but the Friday Movie Mavens did find some chuckles along the way. The movie is rated R for language and sexual material.
The Travelling Toe awards this movie 1 pinky toe with polish and a painted flower on it.
One final hint about the movie, one of the production companies is Odd Lots Entertainment.
