Review of Young Sherlock Holmes (1985) by Marcus1138 . — 22 Dec 2007
"The game is afoot! ".

A movie I remember fondly from my childhood, and still dig quite a bit.
It's fun, it's 80's creepy in places and it's packed with all of those 80's adventure cliches that made it such a good era for kids movies.
It works better than alot of modern family movies because it's treats it's audience with some respect. It never plays it down for the kids and despite it's paint by numbers plot, it keeps that Sherlock Holmesness alive in itself.
This is fun, totally watchable and stands up 20 odd years on. It's a blast as an alterantive Xmas movie and i'm happy that it's aged very well.
