Observe and Report

This is a hateful, horrible, ugly, unfunny movie. Seth Rogen is stupendously bad as a one note charicature or a bi-polar misfit. It's stunning that this is a movie that could be compared quite unfavorably to "Paul Blart". Rogen is also a mall security guard and he also dreams of becoming a police officer. But instead of being held off the force because of his weight, Rogen is a violent mental health problem. There's a "gag" where he date rapes a girl. There are multiple fights with graphic violence. And there's an extensive foot chase involving a nude man. It's not funny for even a second. The director seems to be going for a Wes Anderson/Farrelly Bros. mash-up, but he's unable to pull off Anderson's style of the Farrelly's tone. It's one of those movies that actually makes you angry that it got made.
