the only compelling mystery about Holmes & Watson is how so many funny people have been squeezed into such an unfunny movie, a movie that isn't nearly smart enough to recognize how stupid it should have been
so agonizingly unfunny; It's an unexpected low point from two great actors..the two seem to have no script or even a premise to work with, and the ideas they throw into the void are either desperately crass or simply incoherent
devastatingly unfunny; Numerous talented British thespians are wasted in supporting roles in this Christmas turkey that, not surprisingly, wasn't screened in advance for critics
an opportunity for prissy British accents (nowhere near enough shouty panic from actors who have perfected it), inept investigating and a completely charmless, laughs-free experience
a brilliant supporting cast, which includes Hugh Laurie, Steve Coogan, Ralph Fiennes, Lauren Lapkus, Rebecca Hall, and Kelly MacDonald, is utterly wasted on this lame and forgettable outing

"Holmes & Watson" might be the worst feature-length film ever made about the 'consulting detective' from Baker Street. Ferrell and Reilly's performances were uncharacteristically unfunny and painfully awkward
