Atom User Reviews for Holmes and Watson
Really expected it to be hilarious with these two guys but, nope. Probably would have turned it off if I watched at home.
Left half way through. If it weren't for the buy one get one free ticket I would not have gone.
So awful! Not funny at all!
Incredibly bad for that casting.
I won’t recommend...... it’s LAME
I fell asleep 10 minutes into the movie.. womp womp
This movie was terrible. I am a big fan of their other movies but this one was just plain lame. Very disappointed. If there was a refund line, I'd be in it!
Such a bad movie
This was the worst will farrel movie by far. I really tried to like it. A few good jokes here and there, but overall terrible and boring.
This was the worse Will Ferrell movie to date. They should have shown an act of Christmas kindness and donated the budget to some film students for better results.
The worst movie of the year
disappointing
No need for the musical part 🙄
I wanted to like this movie but it wasn't as funny
not very funny
If I could give it 0 stars, I would.
just really bad
This movie sucked bad...it shouldn't have ever been made, not even straight to video. Perfect Example of trying to hard to be funny, therefore NOT FUNNY AT ALL!
very funny and goofy. recommend if you need a laugh!
I’m the biggest will Ferrell fan and this was horrible!
so as others have said expectations were super high because of the 2 leading men but I literally just took the most expensive nap in my life. Pretty boring, if I would have gotten my bogo free tix as advertised I may not have been as upset.
Slapstick comedy! Exactly what you would expect from this comedy duo!
Wasn’t terrible, but wasn’t far from terrible.
clever and funny laughed through entire movie
Kept me laughing all through the movie.
sometimes movies are so dumb funny... this one was just dumb
This movie is really a DVD rental at best but seeing it for free was the reason we saw it in the theaters. Very stupid funny... it's what we expected and that's what we got so if that's your thing then you will laugh, if it's not then do not go see this movie.
Worst Comedy Ever
Go see Spider-Man instead.
Worst movie I’ve ever seen
my son and I laughed through the whole thing! You have to appreciate Will Ferrell and John C Reilly.
Will Ferrell funny with all the silly slapstick and adult humor.
It was a hoot. A little slapstick, a little sophisticated humor,a lot of fun.
great movie
Good movie
Was very wary from the previews - movie was silly and entertaining throughout.
Terrible! Awful! Not funny! Worst movie of the year
Not what I expected to be
Can’t get that wasted time back. Almost walked out which I have never done.
So disappointed
It was funny, but it didn’t crack me up. I was expecting a little more but the dry humor was still good.
Crude humor but definitely a few laughs. Wasn't really theater-worthy
It did have its funny moments. But it was very slow to start.
High level cerebral comedy - have to be quick to catch a lot of it. entertaining and worth the low price ticket.
loved it!
Love Will and John together and they did not disappoint!
Big disappointment. Expected something as funny as Talladega Nights or Step Brothers, and it just wasn't. The first few minutes was pretty funny, but after that it was just crude and stunk. We left with 30 minutes left in the movie, and I've never walked out of a movie…
Some funny parts but overall it was not anything close to Talladega Nights or Stepbrothers quality.
Very disappointing!
Oh my goodness... a total waste of time, money, and popcorn!
Metacritic
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.
