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.

This movie isn't designed for artist views and pretentiousness. It's meant to be crass and stupid and entertaining. It provided me with more laughs in a movie I've had in so long. Just because you find this movie funny doesn't make you stupid it just means you've got a decent sense of humour and don't take life too seriously where a movie is concerned.
Jonah Hill is one of the best in this movie complimented with Vince Vaughn's stone cold faced humour. I loved it. I would watch it again. Feel down watch this for just the stupidity and laughter.

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.
