Without a Clue (1988)
Directed by Thom Eberhardt
Sherlock Holmes is as dashing as ever, but with a little secret: Dr. Watson is the brains behind the operation. When Reginald Kincaid, the actor he has hired to play Holmes becomes insufferable, Watson fires him and tries to go out on his own, but finds that he has done too good a job building Holmes up in the public's mind.

What critics compared Without a Clue to
I also was glad to see him onscreen again with Caine, because they were so good together in the Sherlock Holmes comedy, “Without a Clue.”
Rogen, who co-wrote the movie with Evan Goldberg , explores and pokes fun at the conventions of the superhero-sidekick dynamic, much as Without a Clue presented a partnership where Dr. Watson was actually better at crime-fighting than Sherlock Holmes was.
