Description

The Watch centers on four neighbors whose volunteer patrol uncovers an extraterrestrial threat beneath suburban Glenview, Ohio. Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade play the mismatched watch members, with Rosemarie DeWitt and Will Forte among the supporting cast. The film uses the group's comic friction to turn a familiar neighborhood-watch setup into an alien-invasion story.

Akiva Schaffer directed the feature, which 20th Century Studios released in the United States on July 27, 2012. The credited screenplay is by Jared Stern, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, with Justin Theroux also listed by the studio among the writers. The studio currently marks the film as streaming and links to its exact Hulu destination, so Hulu is the only included U.S. offer represented here.
