Review of The Watch (2012) by Josh M — 26 Jun 2015

The Watch does have its moments... but not enough to make up for all of the movie's wasted potential. This movie could have been a lot better. Ben Stiller (Zoolander), Vince Vaughn (The Internship), and Jonah Hill (21 Jump Street) star in The Watch.

All three actors have been in laugh out loud hilarious movies, but this wasn't one of them which is really suprising. This movie was written by Jared Stern and I'm kind of confused about the fact that this was also written by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen (Superbad, Pineapple Express, This is the End, Neighbors)! Goldberg and Rogen are the funniest comedy co-writers and usually Rogen would star in the movie except that doesn't apply for The Watch.

So overall, this movie is really just an unfunny waste of time but it can be really fun if you get the most out of it. But if you're looking for a 2 hour laugh, I recommend not watching The Watch.

My score for The Watch is 20%.
