Really expected it to be hilarious with these two guys but, nope. Probably would have turned it off if I watched at home.

Making their previous vehicles Step Brothers and Talladega Nights seem the height of comic sophistication by comparison, Holmes Watson features the duo parodying Arthur Conan Doyle's famous characters to devastatingly unfunny effect.

There is still intermittent joy to be found in their autumnal bromance.

The trouble is, Sherlock Holmes exists so large in audiences’ minds already that the pair’s uninspired take feels neither definitive nor an especially fresh take, but just an off-brand, garden-variety parody.
