Film Synopsis

A day-dreamer escapes his anonymous life by disappearing into a world of fantasies filled with heroism, romance and action. When his job along with that of his co-worker are threatened, he takes action in the real world embarking on a global journey that turns into an adventure more extraordinary than anything he could have ever imagined.

The Watch

Disclaimer: Sexual content and vulgar reference towards it still puts me in an awkward situation however old I get. So my general rule is to avoid R-rated films especially when they fall into the genre of comedy, romance or drama. Unfortunately I didn’t carefully look at the IMDB parental advisory before I went for the film ‘The Watch’. Anyway… this is clearly not my type of genre.

‘The Watch’ is about Evan Trautwig (Ben Stiller) who’s in love with his little town Glenview in Ohio and participates in various community initiatives while proudly managing a local Costco. After the mysterious murder of his colleague/friend Antonio Guzman (Joe Nunez), he takes it upon himself to set up a neighbourhood force to watch over the community and find the murderer. As volunteers Bob (Vince Vaughn), a possessive father; Franklin (Jonah Hill) a knife wielding police department reject who lives with his mom; and Jamarcus (Richard Ayoade) a housewife-fantasising Brit make up what he calls the ‘neighbourhood watch’. As they stumble deeper into the mystery, they come face to face with aliens and an invasion with Glenview being ground zero.
