I agree with this. I don't know if it was the way it was filmed, or the way it was written, but the whole thing felt like a joke to me. In the first movie the friendship was sweet and very close (though Watson was trying to break away). But in the second movie it seemed like the gay subtext was intentionally written to be funny. Holmes lying next to Watson on a train, dressed in drag, makeup slathered onto his face, saying "lie with me Watson" is just...I can't take that sort of shit seriously because it only seemed to exist to make the audience laugh.

The leg over Watson's shoulder to simulate gay sex (because what man puts his leg over another man's shoulder when they're wrestling?!) also seemed to be there for laughs.

Same goes for the ballroom scene. The way Holmes casually puts his arm out and starts dancing with Watson (not too close together though! People might get the wrong idea!) was just so cringe-worthy that there's no way it wasn't done for laughs (and the audience in my cinema thought that scene was hilarious - two men dancing together, oh the hilarity!)

See, apart from one or two gleeful giggles, both times I saw the film (family then friends), most people went 'awwwww' when they danced together, and the guys in front of me during the second viewing actually really enjoyed it, going as far as to discuss who'd teach who to dance if they were Holmes/Watson.

tbh, I wouldn't say it was played for laughs, but maybe that the reaction to the scene depends on the audience viewing it and their background/experiences regarding male interactions.

Yeah, I guess it depends on the audience. The whole cinema burst into laughter when I went to see it, and I actually got elbowed by the person sitting next to me because he was chuckling so hard at the "oh my god this is so gay".
