Holmes & Watson is a comedy film based upon Sherlock Holmes. Starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, you can expect what the tone of the film is going to be. It relies heavily on crude humor and received waves of criticism upon release, and while it isn't as bad as what those reviews make it to be, the film is still pretty bad. It's a typical Sherlock Holmes plot, with Sherlock trying to solve a crime. Unfortunately, there is not enough plot and so it resorts to padding for most of its runtime. It's too easy to get bored by what's happening. The funniest jokes are in the first ten minutes and it goes downhill from there. It tries to parody other films but does it in such a poor way that it fails in its purpose. There is a genuinely good concept but it continually squanders the potential by shoving one unfunny and overdone joke after another. What little plot there is is too predictable and is overall just a very bland, very below average, film.
