Usually, Will Ferrel movies keep it simple and between funny and nearly funny. Don't need to expect much, some surprise cameos and references make it cool yet there were tons of cliche jokes and terrible scenes that make you want to puke; literally. Also; Kelly Macdonald did a weird job. Not good, not bad but weird.

Amusing if uneven comedy has an admirable 'throw everything at the wall and see what sticks' sensibility; the scattershot approach means that anything better than a 50% hit rate would be an achievement. Thankfully Reilly and Ferrell's easy chemistry with each other makes this infinitely more tolerable than if it had been in other hands, and there are some inspired moments of off-the-wall lunacy. Far from a misbegotten masterpiece, but still a lot of fun, with Ferris a hoot as Queen Victoria.

Every aspect of this film was built for humor and it wasn't funny.

This is exactly what you would expect from a movie with Will Ferrell. Honestly you can guess most of the jokes before seeing the comedy. One is only left to wonder, why is Hugh Laurie in it?

When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth ... I am a dumb stupid idiot.

I can't believe how much hate this movie is getting. Honestly, I got what I was expecting out of a Will Ferrell comedy. Yeah, not all the jokes work and the writing could be better, but I got a few genuine laughs and think the chemistry and banter between Ferrell and Reilly's characters were great. I really liked the musical number and yeah it was stupid but I wasn't expecting like a smart comedy. Not saying it was amazing, but I don't feel it was nearly as awful as everyone was saying it was.

Just absurd. But I laughed. One of the best things about watching this at the cinema--besides the shameless snickers from other members of my demographic throughout the mostly empty theatre--was the elderly couple in front of us, maybe mid-seventies, who just didn't seem to be laughing very much. Turns out they were expecting an actual Sherlock Holmes movie, to follow-up the TV special on him they'd watched the night before... And still they stayed to the bitter end, what a pair of troopers!

Wow this piece of sh!t needs editing or a total re-write! Any experienced director would been shouting: "Cut what the f#ck is happening?" But the director, Etan Cohen, is a totally newbie that only ever directed one other really bad film, Get Hard! So really shame on us for watching, fooled me twice!

This is not a score I give lightly. “Holmes & Watson” really is THAT bad. Very few films have made me actively feel the urge to get out of my seat and leave, but I came close a few times. I’ve seen comedies that are unfunny, films that are completely inept, but every piece of this pitiful excuse of a movie falls to pieces under seemingly no pressure at all. A light prod is all it takes for this bloated, agonizingly unfunny house of cards to collapse in on itself. Elementary? Not even close
