Somebody should have told the novice filmmakers in charge of this Canadian work to utilize a less critic-baiting title than Something's Rotten. The story is borrowed from such classic forebears as The Corsican Brothers, Prisoner of Zenda and The Iron Mask. A set of twins, one good and one bad, vie for the throne of a mythical European throne. The film's surprise ending saves it from total mediocrity.
