The Watch is completely middle-of-the-road and unremarkable from start to... read more

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but with a cast including Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill, I still had to watch it at some point. Well, right from the start, the whole thing sounded really ludicrous so it seemed that it was completely doomed from the start but, eventually, the main issue was in fact that they mixed up this wacky concept with a straight R-rated comedy ... read more
