Summaries

In a Manhattan psychiatric hospital, a man convinced that he is Sherlock Holmes is treated by a female doctor who happens to be named Watson.

The adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Watson in modern-day New York City. The fact that Sherlock Holmes is a psychotic paranoid and Dr. Watson is a female psychiatrist fascinated by his case is almost beside the point. Dr. Watson follows Holmes across Manhattan and is, against her better judgment, drawn into the master detective's world of intrigue and danger. This sweet, goofy, and fairly romantic film asks the questions "Whose reality is right?" and "Does it really matter?"—John Gerrath <[email protected]>
