| NewsdayRafer Guzman"Holmes & Watson" is one of those movies that goes beyond unfunny and into a comedy-cubist zone, where jokes are no longer recognizable and laughter is philosophically impossible. |
| Crooked MarqueeEric D. SniderFitfully amusing, but insufficiently funny or clever (or cleverly stupid). |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfThere was once a time when Will Ferrell made funny movies. |
| The Age (Australia)Jake WilsonHolmes and Watson is not for everybody, but if you want to see Ferrell off the leash this is the best opportunity in a long time. |
| The AustralianStephen RomeiFor my money, this is a laugh-out-loud movie ideal for a relaxing Friday night. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinAs a director, Coen commits comedy’s most cardinal sin: He gets between us and the performers. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThis year's Christmas turkey...Despite colorful sets and costumes, it's not a pretty sight to behold, with a witless script by Etan Cohen that loads down a dumb plot with an avalanche of lame jokes. |
| Double ToastedKorey ColemanIt is two people in a bar, three or four beers in, just telling jokes to each other that are not even funny. |
| Midwest Film Journal Nick RogersSmart about how it's stupid, the comedy suggests an embrace of remorseless logic will only rot your soul and friendships. Yeah, it's a movie in which John C. Reilly lactates, but it also says more than you'd expect about the milk of human kindness. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzThere are moments, however fleeting, that suggest there’s a decent Mel Brooks-ian farce hiding amidst the wreckage. Deeply, profoundly hidden moments, but peeking through every now and then, an annoyingly sporadic Christmas miracle. |
