Four everyday suburban guys come together as an excuse to escape their humdrum lives one night a week. But when they accidentally discover that their town has become overrun with aliens posing as ordinary suburbanites, they have no choice but to save their neighborhood – and the world – from total extermination.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Originally titled 'Neighborhood Watch' until the 2012 Trayvon Martin case forced a rebrand to just 'The Watch.'
This film basically killed the 'Frat Pack meets sci-fi' subgenre before it could breathe. The Lonely Island's only theatrical feature remains their most forgotten.
