phynckeThe 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.
IMDB for cast and credits:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1298649/
Overall rating:
Good and funny.
Recommend:
Yes, for a bit of the ridiculous.
Warnings:
Silly humor.
