Review - The Watch (14%)

The Watch or the unwatchable? I think I would have to go with the latter. The Watch throws big name comedy actors (Stiller/Vaughn/Hill) into what I would call a monstrosity. You can't just throw popular actors into an awful plot and hope for a success. It combines some elements that we have seen team up before, aliens and scares. Only the aliens look awful and the scares are bottom line, just lame.

I can sit here and slate this film all day long and I still wouldn't fully satisfy my critical side, simply because the film is that bad. The only reason the film makes double digits is because I haven't quite seen any other film recognise that wholesalers like CostCo as seen in the film, are just as important as your everyday supermarket.

Im not going to give away spoilers because simply, there is nothing left to spoil as the film spoils itself. I was going to buy The Watch but decided to give it a trial watch first and I have never been so pleased about saving money.

An alien invasion centralising from CostCo is original but the kind of original that is original because nobody else has been stupid enough to try it. Im sure in retirement, Stiller, Vaughn and Hill will look back and say why didn't I just say no?

It's the kind of job you accept at the very start of your acting career, not when you have already proven yourself. So bottom line if you fancy a dreadful film with a lame plot, with lame aliens, scares, ideas and well just a disgusting excuse for a film, pick up a copy of The Watch today for urm.....well I haven't looked up the price because im doing my best to save you money.

Final Verdict - Has anybody got any tissues? My eyes are bleeding!

SCORE: 14/100
