'The Adventure Of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (1975)' is a pastiche of the various cinematic interpretations of 'Sherlock Holmes', one which plays with genre tropes and absurdist humour in essentially equal measure. Though it isn't exactly hilarious, it provides a handful of chuckles and has a generally well-meaning vibe to it. Its plot is oddly complicated and, frankly, not all that compelling. Having said that, it seems to do exactly what it needs to; it gets its big-name stars from silly set-piece to silly set-piece in relatively rapid fashion. Indeed, its cast is probably is biggest asset, as they confidently deliver even the less successful stuff and remain engaging screen-presences throughout. The movie is relatively enjoyable right the way through. It's rather unmemorable, though, and doesn't quite break through the barrier of 'above average'. 6/10
