Maybe it's because my expectations were rather low, but I ended up liking The Watch more than I expected. While the film dragged and had its share of stupid running gags - there were some genuine times I had a great laugh. Great cameos from the likes of R. Lee Ermey and an uncredited Billy Crudup help move things along. While he may have been overshadowed by the bigger names - Richard Ayoade had the best lines (and the best performance) and I hope to see more of him in the future. The story has a bit too many cliches and too-predictable twists - but, for a comedy, I would still recommend it in a pinch.
