Not as funny as it should be, yet The Watch just about manages to hold your attention for it's lean running time. Go to see it for Hill and Ayoade rather than for Stiller or Vaughn; the former find the only laughs whilst the latter fall flat on their face. The script tries to inject Stiller's customary heart into the films alien center, yet it lands way off the mark and comes off as a miss-fire and a severe black spot on all four of the leads careers. The twists also aren't clever, making you question the logic of what has gone before.
There are much worse comedies to spend your time watching, but I would recommend buying a map to 21 Jump Street long before you ever think about joining The Watch.
5/10
