   Is the Singing Detective a good movie?

   • “The Singing Detective” is a movie about a man who has been failed by science and drugs and turns in desperation to his mind, seeking temporary insanity as a release. His sharp intelligence is an asset. He knows the 1950s songs are trash, and that’s the point; you don’t throw songs you love onto the bonfire.

   Is the Singing Detective worth watching?

   • The Singing Detective is like a dream that you are still a little confused by when you wake up. It's not for everyone, but it's a fun ride if you dive in face first. Worth seeing on the basis of its cast alone, although the characters being played are often so impressionistic, even the superstar lineup ends up being a bit distracting.

   Can Robert Downey Jr save the Singing Detective?

   • Delightful performance from Robert Downey Jr. can't save The Singing Detective's transition from TV to the big screen. Potter's gaze into the man's dark sexual and familial secrets isn't about one man's oppression, but about his self-imposed melodrama. Perpetually feels as if it were a good idea that was never fully thought through.
