Holmes & Watson

Holmes & Watson. Etan Cohen, 2018.

😿

Edition screened: Sony Blu-ray, released 2019. English language. Runtime approximately 90 minutes.


Summary: Violence to a pet turtle.


Details: Early in the film, at about 2:40, young Sherlock’s large pet turtle is snatched away and hurled over or onto a roof. We just see the aggressive child’s action briefly, not the consequences. Next scene shows Young Sherlock sitting on a bench with the turtle in an elaborate wheeled bed/sling contraption.


Holmes & Watson could have been funny but was simply awful. A rather long compilation of outtakes started automatically after the credits, just Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly snowballing funny lines that were far more entertaining that the scripted comedy.
