The Watch is set in the fictional Glenview, Ohio where Ben Stiller plays Evan, the manager at a local Costco and do-gooder known for organizing a slew of random self-help groups. When the night watchman at his store is killed, Evan decides to setup a neighborhood watch. It’s that call to arms that attracts blue-collar dad, Bob (Vince Vaughn), a police academy applicant, Franklin (Jonah Hill), and the recently divorced Jamarcus (Richard Ayoade). None too pleased with the deficient caliber of his crew; Evan takes them on late-night patrols, which eventually lead the group to their alien encounters.

Randy Myers of the San Jose Mercury News writes, “Everyone in the cast steps up to the plate and tags the bases convincingly. All are good, but it is Richard Ayoade who earns the most laughs.”

BoxOfficeGuru.com predicts that The Watch will open at around $22M.
