Holmes & Watson
For criminals, the only benefit to having Sherlock Holmes on the case was that he could be easily bribed with cocaine.
However, in this comedy, the great detective is even more formidable when he has snorted nose candy.
When Holmes (Will Ferrell) and his partner Watson (John C. Reilly) discover a plot by Holmes' archenemy Professor Moriarty (Ralph Fiennes) to assassinate Queen Victoria, the unorthodox detective only has 4 days to prevent his rival's plan from occurring. But in order to do that, he must seek help from his brother (Hugh Laurie) as well as a female physician (Rebecca Hall).
Relying solely on humourless anachronisms to propel its overly simplistic story, this is not the first comedic take on the darling detective, but it is certainly the laziest and most cringe-worthy adaptation.
Incidentally, crime scene investigation was so rudimentary in the 1880s that most murders were blamed on solar eclipses. Red Light
