THEY DON’T HAVE A CLUE.Ā
While attending a surprise birthday party at Buckingham Palace, Sherlock Holmes and dr. Watson (Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly) find a corpse hidden inside a huge cake, the work of Moriarty (Ralph Fiennes). A spoof of Sir Arthur Conan Doyleās perennial detective that borrows from the 2009 Robert Downey, Jr. movie and reunites Ferrell and Reilly from Step Brothers (2008). A complete misfire, loathed by critics and audiences; childish and stupid when it should have been hilarious, with that cast.
