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.
The worst movie of the year
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.
disappointing
not very funny
I wanted to like this movie but it wasn't as funny
No need for the musical part 🙄
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!
just really bad
If I could give it 0 stars, I would.
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.
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
sometimes movies are so dumb funny... this one was just dumb
Worst movie I’ve ever seen
Go see Spider-Man instead.
my son and I laughed through the whole thing! You have to appreciate Will Ferrell and John C Reilly.
Good movie
great movie
It was a hoot. A little slapstick, a little sophisticated humor,a lot of fun.
Will Ferrell funny with all the silly slapstick and adult humor.
Was very wary from the previews - movie was silly and entertaining throughout.
Ok. It will be a good movie to throw on TV when its on. I wouldn't recommend seeing it in the theatres.
the jokes are old and if this movie was made in the mid 90's it might have been funny.
too many racist comments
It was okay- Not as good as step brothers or the other guys. Not in the same ballpark, but it had a few good moments.
Definitely not to the same standards as Step Brothers. I think if they had made it rated R it would have been better. But it was still very funny nonetheless. This acting combo is truly legendary.
Junk. An insult to show up and sit through it. An SNL skit that should have ended at 30 seconds.
missed opportunity!
What you’d expect, pretty much, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t good. Definitely laughed out loud a bunch of times and enjoyed the movie for sure. If you’re a Ferrell/Reilly fan don’t hesitate to see it!
Too many political satire.
Would give zero stars if this system allowed. Really a waste of a good cast.
I’d rather eat my own hair than watch that again.
Horrible
Worst movie I’ve seen in a long time. Don’t waste your time or money.
Bad, bad, bad.... ohhhh... and bad.
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.
