Chicago Sun-Times
It's so determined to be crude, vulgar and offensive that after a while I grew weary. Abbott and Costello used to knock out funnier movies on this exact intellectual plane without using a single F, S, C, P or A word. - 50
The A.V. Club
In spite of some prominently featured green slime and power-beam weaponry, it won't make anyone forget "Ghostbusters" anytime soon. - 50
Chicago Tribune
It sticks in the craw. The whole movie does. - 50
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
If this movie wanders into your neighborhood, the only watch that will hold your attention is the timepiece on your wrist. - 50
Arizona Republic
It should be funnier. It should be better. Instead, it just sort of is. - 50
Variety
What's onscreen feels as half-assed and juvenile as it was probably always envisioned to be, suggesting an umpteenth retelling of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" by way of "The Hangover," or perhaps a far less inspired version of "Attack the Block" transplanted to small-town Ohio. - 40
Time
You're unlikely to laugh much, and you may get an unexpected case of the non-art-imitates-bad-life creeps. - 40
Austin Chronicle
The Watch is awfully lightweight, and while it earns its R rating via some comic gore and a whole lot of hyper-sexualized tomfoolery, it's hardly the best work of anyone involved.
