Holmes and Watson was good light hearted fun. It never tries to be anything its not. It knows its a comedy and delivers on it.
In regards to the negative reviews on here, did you not watch the trailer? If you were expecting a complicated plot or suspense then you'd be disappointed and you're probably one of those people who never read the instructions and then complains when something doesn't work.
Holmes and Watson is not an oscar contender and it never intends to be one but deliver some light hearted comedy. The pitch is simple, it's the holidays and the year is winding up so it's time for some easy and carefree laughs. This film delivers.
