Being someone that enjoys the work of Stiller, Vaughn and Hill, this was something I thought would be pretty enjoyable. Instead, I found that there weren't many laughs to be found, though I enjoyed Richard Ayoade. I didn't know who he was at the time, but have since come to enjoy his work immensely! The main problem with this film, simply, is that it isn't funny. It confuses dumb, violent and sexual situations with humor. It was written originally as a Ghostbusters-esque PG-13 film, which probably would have been better, but was then rewritten by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who's work I'm not particularly fond of. Richard Ayoade was the best part of this for me, but even so, the crude humor just doesn't work in the film's case. Almost all of the jokes fall flat, or feel awkward and generally it just wasn't an enjoyable experience for me. It's not the worst movie I've ever seen, but it's close.

First time I've written on here, because I just watched the watch on the TV (didn't bother at the cinema because of the bad reviews) and it was good fun. A good fun movie, made me laugh out loud at least three times, had some good jokes. Nothing serious, a lads movie e.g. full of sex jokes which isn't normally my sort of thing, but this had some good ones, as well as some other good jokes/scenarios, didn't drag, a hell of a lot better than some higher rated comedies. I think it should be 6.8 out of 10 on IMDb, currently at 5.8. It's not a 7 movie for me, as that's for exception films, but this is sturdy entertainment and as I can't see how to rate something 6.8 I have rounded it up.

The Watch is a science fiction comedy. Ben Stiller is an active member of his local Ohio small town community and a senior manager of the Costco store. When the store's security guard is killed and the police show little interest in investigating the death he forms the neighbourhood watch. However, he only manages to recruit Vince Vaughn, a construction worker, Jonah Hill, who dreams of being a police officer and Richard Ayoade who is new in town.The watch use the group as an excuse to drink and have fun much to Stiller's annoyance. While driving on patrol, they discover a strange metallic orb that acts as a destructive weapon and think it might be of alien origin. They uncover an alien plot threatening the world.The film probably aimed to be the new Ghostbusters but is patchy and falls short. Although there is good repartee between the cast there is an uneasy mixture of gross humour and sci-fi. What should had been a clever action comedy aims for the low brow too often and the humour seems too lazy. Its also saddled with a lot of Costco product placement.

Of course this is a bad movie, predictable and kind of stupid, plus they kill the only non-white (except for Jamarcus I guess) character at the start of the movie but what can I really say regarding how I feel about it? it's funny and entertaining. I think what makes it so much is that all of the four main guys are so useless that you're worried about their lives yet you think they kinda deserve to be hurt because they're damn idiots like that. Pretty good movie for a cross between sci-fi and comedy I feel. As I said though, it's pretty predictable. Even one of them being an alien I could predict. At parts it was a bit cheesy but in a light-hearted way. One of those movies so bad they're good.
