It’s The Man Who Would Be King filtered through one of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby’s wisecracking, song-infested Road to … pictures that suffers from demographic schizophrenia. Two 16th century con men (voiced by Kevin Kline and Kenneth Branagh) win a treasure map to the legendary City of Gold in a crooked craps game.
