Short description

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson investigate a murder at Buckingham Palace. While evidence initially suggests that Professor James Moriarty is responsible, the detectives encounter new clues that complicate the case. The duo must resolve the mystery within four days to prevent the Queen from becoming the next victim. This comedy takes a humorous approach to the characters created by Arthur Conan Doyle.

The film was directed and written by Etan Cohen, following his 2015 film Get Hard. It stars Will Ferrell as Sherlock Holmes and John C. Reilly as Dr. Watson, with a supporting cast that includes Rebecca Hall, Rob Brydon, Kelly Macdonald, and Lauren Lapkus. The production was a collaboration between companies in the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States, including Columbia Pictures and Gary Sanchez Productions.

With a budget of 42 million USD, the movie earned 41 million USD at the worldwide box office. Audience reception was low, with a rating of 3.9/10 on IMDb from 38,596 votes and 4.3/10 on TMDB from 963 votes. Film critics gave the movie a rating of 3.2/10 based on 81 reviews, which is slightly lower than the scores provided by general audiences.
