...death by hanging, but threatens to return from the grave. Holmes' favorite dangerous lady, "the woman," Irene Adler is also on hand. She's played by Rachel McAdams, who is saucy and fetching, but we don't believe for a minute that this is really a woman who would give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money. Or rather, the Sherlock Holmes, the one we never imagined was hiding a six-pack under his tweeds. (See a TIME video from London's Sherlock Holmes museum...
...Meyers demonstrates, as she did in Something's Gotta Give and The Holiday, an extraordinarily limited worldview. Her heroines are allowed just one problem, and it will never, ever include a lack of taste.

He takes the arthritis pills I give him, but leaves my physical therapy prescriptions on the counter ("Don't need no exercise, Doc. I work."). At most he'll take an injection when it gets bad. Even when he was limping, Tony would not even talk about an operation - until now. He came in two weeks...
...northeastern part of their country with our refugees. Without Beijing's help, you're never going to muster enough economic pressure to change our ways. And my nuclear ace-in-the-hole ensures that no one will really mess with us. Why in the world would I ever give that...
