Gerry Barnaby's film reviews: The Watch

Genre:  Comedy Sci-Fi,  contain strong sexual refrences & medium violences

Cert: 15 cert
Story: Four everyday suburban guys come together as an excuse to escape their humdrum lives one night a week. But when they accidentally discover that their town has become overrun with aliens posing as ordinary suburbanites, they have no choice but to save their neighborhood -- and the world -- from total extermination.

Likes : This wasn't to bad but wasn't brilliant, I found this film to be enjoyable to watch with few one-liners that make you laugh along with the antics of the four suburban guys. Ben Stiller play this straight edge character Evan that doesn't know how to lighten up,but is friendly to everyone in the neighborhood but lighten up half way through when the it real hits the fan on whats going on.Vince Vaughn plays this mad cap father that loves gadgets but is a little over protective of he daughter but is funny.Jonah Hill play this complete nut case guy Franklin who has this thing for knifes & gun a bit of weapon nut some of the things i seen this film were pretty funny buy this actor.Richard Ayoade (from TV it crowed) plays Jamarcus plays this nerdy type of guy who was pretty funny as well.i found this film to be one of those types of film to your sense of humour.it had a few good moments as well as it serious funny moments but it was OK.the C.G.I & creatures costumes were awesome, i loved the way they made these hing look evil & menacing.Will Forte who play this dumbass cop Sergeant Bressman, Sgt.... who tries to be funny in the film but just comes across as a weird person which was a little funny.

Dislike: Al tho this film was enjoyable to watch there are some actors that just don't have that film chemistry together, there not really playing off each other well which kinds of lets the film down a little bit, film plot was good but it need something better than the ending was it been done to many times in alien film,i found that ending to be a bit lazy.This film had a slight balance between comical parts & action but not enough for it to be a well balanced film.


Overall : This film is enjoyable to watch had a few funny moments,it one of those film you Iver like it or not it just depends on your sense of humor, but worth watching & not bad for a mixed sc-fi/thriller comedy film.

Rating: 4 out of 5 for entertainment, 5 out of 10 for story & funny moments.
