Watching the Detectives is a 2007 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Paul Soter.

The next day, Neil meets Denise at a restaurant, but before he goes to the table, he pranks her by having a waiter spill a glass of water on her.

Back at Gumshoe Video, Neil is watching a film with his friend and employee Jonathan, when femme fatale Violet makes her entrance.

The next day, they spy on Media Giant and see an employee talking to a police officer.

Neil tries to make their next date quieter, by watching a basketball game, but a bored Violet then does not want to stay the night and departs.

Later, he goes to see a band play at Jonathan's bar and spots Violet flirting with a musician.

She tricks him into stealing money from her job at an illegal casino, with Neil thinking it is another one of her fake scenes.
