2nd blog review

A few weeks ago I went to the movies with a good friend of mine to see "The Watch." I have to say, it did not exactly meet my expectations. I know how funny Vince Vaughn and Ben stiller are, but they were my least favorite characters in the movie. I do not think the script was all that great and Vince Vaughn and Ben stiller were not that funny. However the indian character was a surprise actor I had never seen before and he had plenty of scenes that were hilarious. The movie was about a nieghborhood watch assembling after a murder in walmart in their town. The group declares they are ready to try and bring this murderer to justice however it turns out to not be a human being. It was actually aliens behind the whole dilemma and the character I thought was hilarious turned out to be an alien himself. The plot was a bit strange to me but somehwat funny. I am not complaining as to say it wasn't funny, it just did not live up to my excpectations of the movie. So many movies that Ben stiller is in are hilarious same with Vince Vaughn. Dodgeball is perhaps my favorite movie and I loved Vince Vaughn in that movie but the character they  make him play in this movie is somewhat lame. As for Ben Stiller, seeing him in Happy Gilmore, (also a favorite of mine) was very enjoyable. I wish they gave him roles like that if you have seen Happy Gilmore the part he plays is hilarious. In conclusion The Watch was not a bad movie, but in my opinion did live up to the hype of a Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller movie. (7 of 10 stars)
