If I remember well, we wrote earlier about its unfortunate timing regarding its subject, so we thought that the Fox forgot about this one and its promotion since it had a really bland poster, but it seems that things are finally starting to heat up.
Twentieth Century Fox has released a described-as-funny new international trailer for
The Watch, but if I'm going to judge a film by its trailer, then I'm in for an hour and a half of not-so-funny movie.
I mean, there was a few jokes that I smiled at, but that's it. And it doesn't help that one of the actors is at the same time one of the two I can't stand to see in the movies (
Jonah Hill and
Zach Gali… something Greek…
Galifianakis – if you really wonder). Which would be a shame, because
Ben Stiller had some really good, funny movies,
Tower Heist being the last, I think – I loved it, by the way.
Sorry, guys, but I am just not wired to the kind of humor (‘toilet-humor' or ‘jack-ass humor') those two are representing, but as always, I am open to positive surprises. See for yourself:

Akiva Schaffer, based on a story by Jared Stern and scripted by
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, it also stars
