I would like to take this opportunity to recommend Miss Sherlock, which kicks ass.
The bee scene was hilarious, mocking the Sherlock Scan trope seen in Downey's and Cumberbatch's versions.
I can never unhear what Ferrell said: "Angle of approach compensates for warp in floor. Termination of mosquito."
So. Apparently this movie stinks. A lot. Like it's at 6% as of this typing.
While I thought it was greatly executed in the trailer, I'll admit it was harrowing hearing it come from the girl who just recently starred in one of my favorite Netflix cartoons.
Speaking of Netflix, H&W was testing so badly, Sony tried to lump it onto Netflix to no avail.
And audiences are just up and walking out of the theater.
Can you say "that escalated quickly?"
I give you The Mystery of the Leaping Fish, 1916.
Mark Twain wrote a Sherlock Holmes parody as well.
This is one of the most scathing review of a movie I've ever seen
RE: Comedic Holmes Film: Probably the most seminal is 1973's "Without a Clue" starring Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley. It's actually legitimately funny.
I once saw a weird Holmes play where the Big Bad was Watson, who over the years had become outright murderous toward Holmes because he got all the credit for their adventures.
I didn't like it.
So apparently the British and American cuts of the movie have different openings. And the British version makes less sense because the later parts of the film reference the american film's opening but lacks the scenes in question.
Dan Olson, Film Brain and Petros Ioannou (Who was an extra on this) discuss watching the movie, and the different cuts.
I didn't like it.
That was the premise of Sherlock Gnomes except Watson wasn't murderous but just got sick of Holmes' attitude and taught him a lesson. They then ruined the ending by introducing Moriarty.
Author of The Rules of Supervillainy, Cthulhu Armageddon, and United States of Monsters.Holmes and Watson sweeps the Razzie nominations, including Worst Picture
.
Already I can picture H&W winning Worst Picture by a landslide. That makes two in a row for Sony!

Will Ferrell is Sherlock Holmes
John C. Reilly is Dr. John Watson
They solve crimes.
