I am seeing this. I love Jeremy Renner and think he can carry this movie.



I have loved all of the Bourne movies so far and have hopes for this one. Woot.

The Watch (2012)


Summary: IMDB
Suburban dads who form a neighborhood watch group as a way to get out of their day-to-day family routines find themselves defending the Earth from an alien invasion.


I saw this movie a while ago and am just getting around to the review. I remember thinking as I went to see this that it was a bit unfortunate the timing of the release of this movie so soon after the shooting of Trevon Martin. I am surprised no one raised the issue. Anyways - that was just thought that I had as I went into the movie - weird to see a movie about rogue Neighorhood Watch stuff when that case is at trial.

I was able to forget that issue as I watch this ridiculously implausible, yet funny movie. Vince Vaughn totally made this for me. Ben Stiller, not so much and he was the lead in this. I really enjoyed Vince Vaughn and found him really funny in this. The ensemble comedy worked here and there are some hilarious scenes in this. Total hijinks. I do think that this is more of a rental or catch it on cable kind of thing. I go to a lot of movies but this could be a see it on TV. No big scenery or special effects that need to be on the big movie screen.

That is my review, I am sticking to it. Good and catch this on cable for some laughs.
