The studio have licensed us to make this title available to rent on the release date below.

Comedy starring Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade as a group of friends who form a neighbourhood watch group in order to win time away from their responsibilities, only to discover a plot to destroy the world. While Evan Trautwig (Stiller), a newcomer to the suburban neighbourhood, may have a legitimate reason for forming a crime watch group following the recent murder of a friend, it is clear that for most of the men ulterior motives are at work. Indeed, Bob Finnerty (Vaughn) seems to spend a lot more time examining the dating habits of his daughter, Chelsea (Erin Moriarty), than he does looking for threats. However, when the men stumble across what appears to be an alien plan to destroy humankind, they understand where their responsibilities lie and set out to counter the threat.

LOVEFiLM Review The Watch

By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLM

Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn reteam for the umpteenth time in this strained comedy about suburban middle class guys flexing their inner macho muscles.

Dull Rating for a Dull Film

By K20-1 (1 review) , 20 May 2013

Pretty dull from start to finish. There isn't really any character who shines. Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill weren't at their full comedic potential

dull, lame and lazy

By mandias (1 review) , 20 May 2013

Tired, lazy and just plain dull. Vince Vaughan essentially plays the same character he does in every movie, Ben Stiller is instantly forgettable and the only saving grace is Richard Ayoade who's very funny; but in a terrible film.
