Featured review
This movie was hilarious, I don't know why it received harsh ratings. People take comedies too seriously and lack imagination. Holmes and Watson isnt at the level of Talladega Nights and Step Brothers but still has some great humor in it. If you are wondering if it is worth watching then the answer is YES.
