Ratings and reviews

I was super excited to watch another take on Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. However, this left me disappointed. Don't waste you time or your money watching this horrible rendition of such a classic tale. The story line could have been good, but deciding to write both Sherlock and Watson as bumbling idiots was probably the worst decision the director /writers could have ever made. And then, when I thought it couldn't get any worse they sang. If you're looking to watch a good Sherlock Holmes tale, steer far away from this movie.

While it kills me to say this, I have finally found a Will Ferrell movie I don't like. Even sadder, I found John C Reilly's perfomance to be better than Will's and I adore Will Ferrell (not to slight John, I just typically find Will funnier). I know it was a comedy, but it was too goofy and over the top. The acting definitely could've been better. I'm not a fan of "stupid comedy" like Dumb and Dumber or Ace Ventura, and this definitely falls in that category. I hope others enjoy it though!

how did they take a movie with so much potential to be epicly funny... and utterly disappoint all is Ferrell and Reilly fans? Def feel like these 2 actors didn't proof watch this before they agreed to release it lol. better luck next time guys. y'all are still epic. but should delete this movie and start again.
