About Steve Carell stars as the title character, a soldier who is the bravest, but also the dumbest in Napoleon’s army. Gerard accompanies Napoleon during the heights of his power to his eventual exile. Based on stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

My 5 cents Very little is known about the film, and with Carell doing double duties with TVs the office and his current slate of films he's tied up with, this one might be on the back burner for a while especially since a sequel seems in the works for Get Smart.

Recommendation Short, at $25 you'd think it was being fast tracked and had a director attached. No doubting Carrell is a bankable star but this doesn't seem to suit the mainstream. Should follow the trend of these priced ipos, a slight upward movement first day then a steep fall through the week till some news comes to light.
