Twin brothers John and George Danes call themselves ‘The Generalists’, and do all sorts of strange jobs for all kinds of peculiar people. They’re about to set off to their next mysterious assignment at Idlewyld House (with no idea what job they’ve been hired to do there) when a strange man knocks at their door. This stranger knows that John and George are on their way to Idlewyld House, but he won’t say how he knows. When asked who he is, he says only, ‘I am the murderer’, and then he disappears. Arriving at Idlewyld House, the Danes twins ask their host, Peter Landrigan — son of the late Harriet Landrigan, the most beloved and bestselling romantic novelist of all time — if he has invited them there to solve a murder. Peter Landrigan assures them that nothing of the sort has happened. Then one of the other guests is found dead at the foot of the stairs…

Phil Hoad Guardian Insistently quirky, The Mystery of Mr E’s eye is never far from the fourth wall – but you can envision what this daffy material might have been in the hands of a disciplined stylist such as Wes Anderson. Rated: 2/5 Nov 25, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

M A You can't compare this to other musical movies, you just have to see it. We really enjoyed it. It's definitely a bit different, and quirky, in a really good original way. The songs are great too. What a fabulous story that's just so... well... different! Just watch it and see, it's just great fun and well put together. Loved the actors too! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
