The Watch

The Watch (2012)
Cert. 15

This is a comedy film with a bit of sci-fi in it about some guys starting up a neighbourhood watch team and getting a bit more than they bargained for... But for me it was ruined by being too crude and vulgar in it's humour. Maybe I'm getting old, but there's no need - I wanted to like this a lot more, it ticked many boxes for me and I'd been looking forward to it, but the level of toilet humour related to genitalia, sex and bodily fluids seemed to be ever flowing, excuse the pun, making it seem like it was scripted by a couple of giggly, porno-obsessed teenage lads or something. If you like that sort of thing, this will be a great film for you. I just think it's a shame they had to keep going there... Characters weren't that likable and were for the most part just plain annoying, especially the British fellow (Richard Ayoade) who was downright embarrassing!
