Movie Review: **The Adventures Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother

Gene Wilder portrays Sigerson Holmes, Sherlock's younger, smarter, but sometimes bumbling brother.  The humor misses sometimes, but actually works other times.  The funniest part is where Sigerson visits a Lord's home, and can't help himself but snitch some food on a table, and then he snitches more, and more, and knocks the dish on the floor.  He is covered with sauce when the Lord finally comes to talk to him.  too much boob grabbing, especially for Sheri.  This is rated PG but this was a bit much, and happens several places in the movie, outside of clothing of course.  Dom Deluise has a part as a bad guy blackmailing Jenny Hill (Madeline Kahn) who is the fiance of the Lord, but also Sigerson's love interest.  Marty Feldman portrays the police sergeant helping Sigerson.
Gene Wilder also wrote this movie based on Conan Doyle's characters.  Wilder also directed.
