Hey guys back again with another movie review. Today we will be talking about the comedy film " The watch" Now a little interesting fact about the film is it was originally titled " Neighborhood Watch" but then was changed due to the trayvon martin case. Now this comedy follows four suburban townspeople as they try to keep their ever so deadly suburbs safe. Now when we first got wind of the movie we were excited to see the movie because of the cast. Now lets get right into the performances. Ben Stiller is Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn is Vince Vaughn. What we mean by that is they basically play themselves from every other movie. Ben stiller is the sissy do the right thing guy and Vince Vaughn is the eccentric over the top guy. Although Vaughn was very funny in this film. When he calls his daughters boyfriend a boy toy and then asks whats his toy story i couldn't stop laughing. Also Jonah hill really kills in this film. He plays the dumb do whatever you say guy really well. Also the Indian British guy we'll call him Richard Ayoade (cuz its his name) was funny but also a bit annoying after awhile. As for Will Forte who plays a policeman he is soooooo annoying. I wanted to punch him in the face really hard. This is how i feel. The basic summary of the film is aliens come and they must defeat the aliens. Now wrap your heads around that and we can move on. The group forms as a result of a murder committed by one of the aliens. The first problem with the film is that they don't spend enough time stopping problems in the town. I know its the suburbs but the funniest part of the movie is when they catch these teenagers and bring them into "jail" That would have been great to see again. Instead u get aliens which makes the movie very generic. So after Vince Vaughn conveniently says there could be aliens around they go on the hunt. During they're little investigation they find a metal ball that shoots lasers and blows shit up. So what does the "Neighborhood Watch" do? They blow shit up. What a great group of guys who are obviously helping their community. Also how does a barn being blown up by lasers get overlooked by the cops who through the rest of the movie are incredibly nosy Plothole! Plothole! Plothole! Now as the film moves on u find aliens are among them and they must stop the aliens. They also reveal that some aliens have taken human form ie. The british guy and VV's daughters boyfriend. So they then have this epic battle inside of The alien base.... "Costco" just thinking about it makes me crack up. They of course win and save the day! But not the costco. Sadly the Costco got blown to shit. Poor Costco. Their are plothole problems with the film but we must remember it is a comedy and as far as jokes go the movie is actually really funny. If you like low brow comedy you will really enjoy this movie. The actors for the most part are funny and deliver really nicely. The plotholes in the film and the sometimes too low brow humor does bring the movie down a bit but it is still enjoyable. We give it a 7/10. Tomorrow we will be back with a review of " Celeste and Jesse Forever" That'll be good!
