![]() ![]() It might have been a little nicer to get more of the intelligent stuff, given the lowbrow alternative we get instead. There’s also plenty of material designed to lampoon the Holmes’ elitist know-it-all demeanor and, in a nod to the recent Guy Ritchie films, the detective’s habit of mapping out scenarios mentally before engaging. Im glad I didnt pay too much attention at the extremely bad reviews and the incredible low score Holmes & Watson got here on IMDb. ![]() But a lot of the humor here seems designed to either gross out audiences or just appeal to their inner 10-year-old (picture multiple characters vigorously chewing into raw onions as if their lives depended on them). The movie definitely has enough winning jokes to keep you hoping for more, along with supporting performances from Kelly Macdonald and Rob Brydon as the boys’ maid and as the local inspector, respectively. And unfortunately, we’re not scoring at MLB standards. The movie is also unlikely to entertain older children or adults. Parental guidance might be needed for children under 15 years. Based on the 19th century stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle about a master detective and his assistant, stories featuring Sherlock Holmes on screen are practically as old as film itself. The childhood prologue sets an interesting tone for the movie - part of the reason Sherlock is so brilliant is because he uses his powers of deduction to get all his classmates but Watson expelled - but the rest of “Holmes & Watson” only connects on about half of its swings. This movie is inappropriate for children under 13 years, because of its strongly sexual humour, slapstick violence and strong use of substances. Sherlock Holmes is a classic character in television and movies, and he’s been brought to life onscreen by a surprising number of actors. At this point, the plot mostly functions as a way of transporting Ferrell and Reilly from one comic set piece to another. But once in the courtroom, Sherlock determines the man in handcuffs is really an impostor and that the real Moriarty has fled to America.Ī dastardly plot to kill Queen Victoria (Pam Ferris) is soon uncovered and Sherlock must apprehend Moriarty in time, but matters are complicated by a pair of love interests from America (Rebecca Hall and Lauren Lapkus) - one of whom was raised by feral cats. The pair is preparing to testify against Sherlock’s nemesis, Moriarty (Ralph Fiennes), who is facing murder charges. ![]() He’s bullied so mercilessly that after a particularly humiliating encounter, Sherlock decides to go full Vulcan on his human emotions and morphs into the clinical super-sleuth we know and love.įast forward a few years, and Sherlock (Ferrell) is the toast of London, solving crimes alongside his trusted BFF Dr. Etan Cohen's film opens in 1867 as a young Sherlock is about to start his first day of school. ![]()
