It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It's a story of aliens invading the world and one of them is defecting to the earthlings. Crazy situations and scenes. Believers that organize a watch. This is a movie to relax by, to put your brains on zero and enjoy. This movie makes you laugh. Some situations are created to make this movie believable and even this scenes make you laugh. Like I said, it's a movie to relax by.

Ben Stiller , Jonah Hill & Vince Vaughn in one movie and I didn't even laugh for once and what made me more disappointed that Seth Rogen is one of the the writer of this,god forgive me, movie. So it is a complete crime.there is nothing wrong with there acting but there is so many wrong things in their script, not even an move or a word that made me laugh. So I am asking for a trial by combat to the creators of this disaster.the only good thing that I can see in this movie is nothing but the acting which is normal for such a crew.Even the aliens design is so traditional, if there is a little funny thing about them is their weak-point. The visual effects of the explosions was a total rubbish.My rating is 3/10 and those 3 points are only for the acting and the effort that done by the actors .

From the main sequence in the Watch, everything that comes to mind is when Neighborhood Watch decides to take pictures with an alien. Then there's the way the movie draws such a huge emphasis to alien genitals and the argument between Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn with implications that last maybe two minutes. The screenplay starts to feel like it's dragging your face in the mud as Jonah Hill's incessant rambling and shouting at his mother along with six or seven dozen unneeded sex jokes make up for much of its unnecessary body mass. Directed by one of SNL writers, it is clear that while watching the Watch, it felt like an SNL sketch that went on far too long.From the start, the aliens in the film have something big planned that keep the four men who make up "Neighborhood Watch" busy and paranoid. This comedy attempting to blend with sci-fi and action might have been better with better writing, and more clever jokes. For starters, the jokes went flat and felt very forced. It was expected with an R rating, but given the R rating, great comedic writers have made it worked. An example would be 21 Jump Street which was released the same year. As we see in the Watch, the film isn't clever enough or interesting enough.

This would just be a fairly inoffensive, dumb film except for Jonah Hill's character. Considering all the things that have been happening lately, to have a character who is a wannabe cop with strange aggressive sexual behaviors and a large arsenal is just not that funny. I hope they weren't thinking about this when they wrote the character, but there are too many parallels with George Zimmermann. Can't hold a job, can't qualify as a cop, fascinated with guns, still lives under parental protection, joins a neighborhood watch. Too many loser white boys have been thinking they can redeem themselves by shooting someone for their community. This movie should just be innocuous junk food for munching late at night when you want something you will not regret falling asleep during. You shouldn't have to think about it enough to want to write a review.
