Holmes & Watson
This Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson story has a 9% Rotten Tomatoes score—be warned. According to the AV Club, "One might call it a failure on almost every level—that is, if the movie ever gave the impression that it was trying to succeed. Instead, it’s pervaded by an air of extreme laziness. It’s cheap and tacky—a bizarrely dated parody of Ritchie’s Holmes (complete with a soundalike score) poisoned with rib-elbowing topical references and puerile gags. It’s the Sherlock Holmes movie with the red 'Make England Great Again' hat and the lactating Watson. It succeeds in only one respect. As a Christmas Day release that wasn’t screened in advance for critics, it managed to avoid our list of the worst films of 2018. It belongs at the top." To be fair, the New York Times notes a few (hardly) worthwhile moments—like its gag about sending drunken telegrams and anachronistic references to gender equality—but skip this if you're after the intellectualism (or plain enjoyability) of other recent Holmes and Watson adaptations.
