Ahmed Okasha Ben Stiller , Jonah Hill & Vince Vaughn in one movie and I didn't even laugh for once and what made me more disappointed that Seth Rogen is one of the the writer of this,god forgive me, movie. So it is a complete crime.there is nothing wrong with there acting but there is so many wrong things in their script, not even an move or a word that made me laugh. So I am asking for a trial by combat to the creators of this disaster.the only good thing that I can see in this movie is nothing but the acting which is normal for such a crew.Even the aliens design is so traditional, if there is a little funny thing about them is their weak-point. The visual effects of the explosions was a total rubbish.My rating is 3/10 and those 3 points are only for the acting and the effort that done by the actors .
ironmaiden138 I like this movie. I've seen it 5 times now since its DVD release and just continue to enjoy it's light-hearted, fun-filled approach. This movie never takes itself too seriously and delivers repeated laughs, due to great performances from Stiller, Vaughn and Hill. I especially like Vaughn in this one, because he plays more of a nice-guy and not the usually brash, in-your-face character we usually see. The plot is fun - the night guard at Stiller's Costco is brutally murdered while on duty one night and Stiller, who is heavily involved in community projects/groups, decides to organize a neighborhood watch. Only 3 misfit souls join the group, but he presses on nonetheless. During their duties on this watch, they begin to think something VERY strange is taking place in their hood and go about proving so, all the while making us, as the audience, laugh in the process.Fun movie and highly recommend for some honest laughs.
tieman64 An unwatchable comedy, "The Watch" stars Ben Stiller as a store manager who puts together a neighbourhood watch group. This group, populated by eccentric individuals, stumbles upon various extraterrestrial creatures, whom they proceed to comically destroy.Lazily written, clichéd and unfunny, "The Watch" once again finds Stiller wasting himself in a straight-man role. Like most modern films of its ilk, "The Watch" also mistakes "neo-realistic" acting peppered with random vulgarity as "irreverence". Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill co-star, the latter stealing the show as an emotionally unstable police force reject.3/10 - Worth no viewings.
richieandsam THE WATCH I saw the trailer for this a few years ago and it never really appealed to me, but after seeing it I wished I watched earlier.The movie is about a group of friendless guys who decide to put together a neighbourhood watch group after a shop security guard gets murdered and skinned. They soon realise that this group they have made is investigating something even more surreal than a murder.The film comes across as a comedy, but to be honest it wasn't that funny. OK, so I laughed in places, but in general I thought it could have been funnier. I would consider this to be more of a sci-fi film that anything else. It was a very good movie though. It was just misleading.The story is fun and the aliens looked amazing. They were like a mix of Alien and Predator together. The effects were really good and the alien looked realistic enough. There was a really funny scene where they thought they killed one of the aliens and they were just taking photos with it.The movie stars Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade. Ben was really good in this, but then he is quite good in a lot of his movies. Vince was really funny throughout too, but the thing with him is he seems to play the same character in every movie he plays. I don't think he has any range to try anything different. Jonah played his part well and was possible the funniest character in the movie because he played it so seriously. Richard was brilliant. His English accent really made his character all the funnier. He had some great lines, but I had hoped he would have had a bigger speaking part.The film ran along nicely. I didn't get bored at all and it felt like it passed quite quickly. All in all I though this film was a lot of fun and I am glad I watched it. It is a good movie, just not as funny as I had hoped.I will give this film 7 out of 10."I have this one scenario in my mind. I kinda hope it plays out like this: young, sexy, Asian housewife, alone at night, frightened. A noise out by the trash cans. Best call the neighbourhood watch. I show up, look heroic, and then... get this - she sucks my balls." For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl
