Another comedy that sort of came and went that I enjoyed more than I expected. Stiller, Vaughn and Hill riff their way through a sci-fi comedy that plays pretty quaintly.
Stiller is a straight laced Costco manager who's night security guard meets an untimely end at the hand of......Well you'll see.
Anyhoo, Stiller forms a neighborhood watch at the behest of the police, and the only recruits he can get are an oversexed man child played by Vaughn and a gun nut played by Hill. Together they have to face down whoever, or whatever, is killing people in their town.
It's no Ghostbusters, but fuck, what is? Judged on it's own it's a fine film that always stays on tone and gives ample leash to its three funny leads, even if it does feel disjointed now and again.
