Stiller, however, is still stuck in boringly earnest Everyman mode, and thats what trips up The Watch.

It an easy play at Invasion of the Body Snatchers except it doesnt go anywhere.

You cant have rock without disco, and you cant have punk without pop.

A talented cast shines brightly, but cant carry the weight of this under inspired sci fi frolic.

Stocked with immature humor, gross out gags and crass conversations as one would expect, but once the otherworldly visitors appear, it simply doesnt g ..

Never quite harnessing its juvenile energy into anything that doesnt involve some kind of genital fixation, the atrocious comedy that comprises the ma ..

Unfortunately, The Watch isnt consistently funny enough to stop you noticing youve seen it all before.

Rote, crass and worst of all, totally laugh free, it inspires you to exact your own brand of vigilante justice.

Light entertainment at its lightest, The Watch does at least elicit some laughs.
Concrete Play Ground

For a flabby 101 minute movie, the gag hit rate is alarmingly low.
Daily Star
1.5
Bland and juvenile, with little thought, humour, or imagination. It actually endorses its posse of puerile nobodies as noble, ass kicking Americans.
Vue Weekly

There are flashes of hilarity glimpses of what the movie could have been but it isnt enough.

Hill makes a case for Hollywood comedy improvisation that is more than just wanking.
Battleship Pretension

Beyond its scattershot script and unfocused direction, the cast manages to scare up a few laughs, mostly due to their skill with improv comedy.

Worse, The Watch doesnt even have the good sense to be a proper hard R summer comedy.
