Review For The Watch
It's a mash-up of blah buddy comedy and gross-out CGI monster splatter, with nary a laugh to be had. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor The Watch is a predictable and lazy comedy wrapped around a penis joke occasionally enlivened with some funny lines. Linda Barnard-Toronto Star What should have been at least Ghostbusters lite ends up sliming audiences with sloppy seconds. Peter Travers-Rolling Stone "The Watch" takes the same ethos of male bonding, obsession with sex and sardonic violence that has proved so profitable in recent years on yet another summer spin. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post Improvisation is definitely The Watch-word, with Vaughn and Hill in particular winging just about every line they speak - most of them filthy, few of them funny. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail For hang time with the guys, you could do worse than "The Watch." Rafer Guzman-Newsday This lame sci-fi comedy was supposed to be for teens, but was re-written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg to be aimed at adults. The result is a movie that doesn't work for either. Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com Bland and juvenile, with little thought, humour, or imagination. It actually endorses its posse of puerile nobodies as noble, ass-kicking Americans. Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) A talented cast shines brightly, but can't carry the weight of this under-inspired sci-fi frolic. Michael Sauter-Film Journal International The Watch is an unfunny, unfocused mess that comes to Blu-Ray with good quality, but also a complete lack of interesting special features. Jeff Beck-We Got This Covered For a flabby 101-minute movie, the gag hit rate is alarmingly low. Andy Lea-Daily Star Aims for ridiculous comedy, hits "ridiculous" Marty Mapes-Movie Habit The aliens may be not of this Earth, but the jokes in this lifeless sci-fi comedy are so lazy they never even manage to lift off. Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide The only arcs these characters encounter are in their pants. Adam Ross-The Aristocrat If the scenes between the four leads had been stronger, it might have been easier to overlook the film's structural and tonal weaknesses, but as it happens they only rescue it in dribs and drabs. Martin Roberts-Fan The Fire The Watch is a lazy production at nearly every level. Expect these aliens to have better luck in a couple years - when they invade basic cable. Ben Kendrick-ScreenRant All of this builds a pretty catastrophic picture of The Watch - and I think, given how many other awesome, funny, gross and clever comedies are out there, I refuse to be an apologist. It's not an unmitigated disaster, but it's not good - or good enough. Patrick Kolan-Shotgun Critic ... one of the funniest movies of the year. Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review the story regularly dozes off and wakes up in other places, squinting its eyes and groping in the dark for laughs. Luke Buckmaster-Crikey It's one of those sad occasions where the bringing together of funny people mysteriously negates their ability to be funny. Jim Schembri-3AW The Watch is an utterly soulless, lazy, painfully dull affair. It is not a film. It is a product, and an awful one. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Jonathan Lack-We Got This Covered There may be plenty of studio comedies that are better than this film, but there are more that are worse. Dominic Corry-Flicks.co.nz The Watch doesn't totally know what it is - but that doesn't matter. It's entertaining, silly fun, if you like gaggles of fools stumbling upon alien invasions and d*ck jokes. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show The Watch is indeed a feathered fish. It's a freaking underwater ostrich. Whether or not it will appeal to all four quadrants is of little concern to any viewer lucky enough to be located within its niche demographic, however. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix Four likeable guys and fine screen actors make a meal of this loony, gross-out sci-fi comedy, but you wonder if it isn't time for them to leave behind juvenile alley Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile Bursting with penis jokes, this low-laugh, low-brow comedy hovers somewhere between mash-up and alien mush Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile
