"Holmes & Watson"
Watched English movie Holmes & Watson. Directed by Etan Cohen. Written by Etan Cohen. Produced by Will Ferrell and others. Cinematography by Oliver Wood. Music by Mark Mothersbaugh. It stars
Will Ferrel, John C. Reilly, Rebecca Hall, Rob Brydon, Kelly Macdonald, Ralph Fiennes and Lauren Lapkus. I watched this movie on Netflix, on Oct 2021 with Dada. The movie is about 1 hour 30 min long and was released in 2018.
Holmes and Watson discover a corpse in a cake in Buckingham Palace. The corpse holds a note saying that the Queen wil die in 4 days. The work is cut out for Homes and Watson. This has to be a scheme of Prof. Moriarty. Watson wants Holmes to designate him a co-detective.
Holmes and Watson, counter intuitively, are bumbling fools by nature and detective and doctor, respectively, by accident. The entire movie is supposed to be a comedy or dramedy. But it comes out with predictable jokes, uninteresting plot, sloppy action, uninspired direction, poor acting and to top it up, the threat of a sequel.
This movie could not recover its production cost. No wonder it bombed on box office.
Although I, Dada and Aditi started toi watch this movie, Aditi couldn't tolerate it and walked away to spend her time more meaningfully.
AVOID
