“HOLMES & Watson” — the latest team-up from “Step Brothers” duo John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell — has earned a rare feat. The movie currently sits at a zero percent on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes with 12 reviews accounted for. The movie was not screened in advance for critics, so subsequent reviews will likely be added that may affect the score. Reilly and Ferrell parody Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detectives, leading a cast that includes Kelly Macdonald, Rebecca Hall and Ralph Fiennes. The Hollywood Reporter’s critic Frank Scheck wrote of the holiday comedy that released Dec. 25: “Numerous talented British thespians are wasted in supporting roles in this Christmas turkey that, not surprisingly, wasn’t screened in advance for critics. Although making them troop out to theaters Christmas morning is something of which even Ebenezer Scrooge wouldn’t have approved.” The movie opened at a crowded Christmas Day box office, placing No. 4 behind “Aquaman,” “Bumblebee” and “Mary Poppins Returns,” and earning US$6.4 million.
