The Watch


The Watch is a sci-fi comedy about a suburban "neighborhood watch" group that serves as a front for dads to get some male-bonding time away from their families. The group finds itself in over its head when it uncovers a plot to destroy the world.

This movie was pretty much garbage.  It's a damn shame to say that considering the collective comedic talent in there and the ads did look kind of good.  Unfortunately, most of the laughs were in the commercial and Ben Stiller's characters was so annoyingly straight laced that it didn't mesh well at all with Vince Vaughn (who was overly hyper than normal) and Jonah Hill (who was the only one that actually made me laugh) and most of the humor was lamely sophomoric. 

I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering to check this out.  This was a very disappointing summer comedy that wrapped up what has not been a good year for them at all.
