  1. Negative review
    Jim Schembri, 3AW It's one of those sad occasions where the bringing together of funny people mysteriously negates their ability to be funny. Full review External link
  2. Positive review
    Simon Miraudo, Quickflix The Watch is indeed a feathered fish. It's a freaking underwater ostrich. Whether or not it will appeal to all four quadrants is of little concern to any viewer lucky enough to be located within its niche demographic, however. Full review External link
  3. Negative review
    Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile Four likeable guys and fine screen actors make a meal of this loony, gross-out sci-fi comedy, but you wonder if it isn't time for them to leave behind juvenile alley Full review External link
  4. Negative review
    Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile Bursting with penis jokes, this low-laugh, low-brow comedy hovers somewhere between mash-up and alien mush Full review External link
  5. Negative review
    Ed Gibbs, The Sunday Age This little-green-men mash-up shows that in space, no one can hear you laugh. Full review External link
  6. Negative review
    Catherine Shoard, Guardian [UK] It's got a cast to kill for, a Seth Rogen/Evan Goldberg script (they wrote Superbad) and a promisingly Ghostbusters-ish premise. And yet it's catastrophic. Full review External link
