Review of The Watch (2012) by David N — 28 Jul 2013

I was fairly excited about this movie when I first heard about The Watch, back when it was called Neighborhood Watch. The title was changed in order to distance itself from the highly publicized George Zimmerman trial. Regardless of all of that, the original teaser looked very funny... and then I saw the full trailer and saw the Men In Black alien angle they went with. At that point, I was unsure what to expect but I definitely lowered my expectations.

I must say I was entertained from beginning to end and laughed through out the movie. I was most excited to watch Richard Ayoade, who I loved in The IT Crowd. The rest of the main cast is full of heavy hitters with Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill, and Vince Vaughn leading the way. Overall I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this movie.
