Is there a reason for Will Ferrell?

Ferrells latest movie "Holmes and Watson" Has a decent supporting cast, a recognised central character and theme with a string of successful incarnations behind it, and a prime holiday release. Sadly it also has Will Ferrell.
“There was once a time when Will Ferrell made funny movies,” BluRay.com said. I disagree. I have never seen this person be even vaguely entertaining in anything. Let alone funny. Hes the kind of actor who makes Adam Sandler look good.
Homes and Watson has been roundly caned by the critics. But its just not enough. People should suffer for committing this atrocity. Ferrell should be made to apologise for his existence.
