Leave your thoughts about The Watch.
| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersIt's obvious that Vaughn and Stiller were tossing it around, but non-stop vulgarity is no substitute for a good story. That adequate story was nowhere in sight. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerIt's a mash-up of blah buddy comedy and gross-out CGI monster splatter, with nary a laugh to be had. |
| Atlantic City WeeklyLori HoffmanBad sci-fi mixed with bad comedy and a Guinness World Record for the number of times the male anatomy is mentioned in a single movie. |
| honeycuttshollywood.comKirk HoneycuttYou are hard pressed to say what the premise of "The Watch" even is. |
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeImagine Attack the Block, only set in America. With a mostly middle-aged cast. And not funny. Or exciting. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereA disease-carrying mosquito of film comedy. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordWhen the neighborhood watch gets their first call, it turns out to be a prank and they all end up with egg on their faces. Perhaps the filmmakers most inspired joke was an insider critique of their own movie. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThe four leads are funny, separately and together. |
| Radio TimesTerry StauntonSchaffer piles on the jokes and set pieces to keep things moving. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerClint O'ConnorYou may feel like you're watching a 90-minute Bud commercial, but there are laughs to be had, and British comic Richard Ayoade puts a fresh spin on R-rated raunch. |
