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.

What one can ascertain from the preview is that Ben Stiller's character makes a neighborhood watch and then this band of misfits stumbles upon the potential discovery of aliens. Throughout the whole movie there is good, albeit crude, humor. Still humor nonetheless, and you will be laughing for a while. While this movie is not as funny as Wedding Crashers or this summer's comedy blockbuster Ted, it still provides some comic relief for the viewer while maintaining an easy storyline to follow and some relate-able moments that any father, husband and friend can appreciate.

onah Hill also takes a turn in a different direction, playing a character that is extremely strange and at points, mental. It's not a turn for the worse, just something different. Fair warning, this is not the same Jonah Hill that made Superbad so enjoyable.

All-in-all, The Watch isn't a bad film and is worth a watch (pardon this atrocious pun). Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill and Vince Vaughn all come together nicely and the addition of Richard Ayoade pulls everything together well; after all, everything's funnier with an English accent.
