Editorial Review:
With sublime awkwardness, Seth Rogen throws himself into the role of a deluded, socially inept shopping mall security guard. Ronnie Barnhardt (Rogen) protects his little kingdom with a mixture of grandiose passion and borderline incompetence; he can’t catch a flasher in the parking lot or a thief with inside connections because his prejudices and desires cloud his ability to see what’s right in front of him--all he can see is the trashy cosmetics salesgirl Brandi (Anna Faris) who thinks he’s nothing but a creep. Though he resents the intrusion of a police detective (Ray Liotta), Ronnie decides to pursue his true dream: Becoming a cop so he can carry a gun. The plot isn’t what matters in Observe and Report--this comedy is about letting talented actors create strange characters with enough roots in reality to make them very, very funny. Even the supporting actors shine with a mixture of weirdness and banality, including Michael Peña (Crash) as Ronnie’s sidekick who turns out to have a secret life, and Celia Weston (Junebug) as Ronnie’s boozing and wildly inappropriate mother. Writer/director Jody Hill (The Fist Foot Way) has a gift for pushing an ordinary moment into comic exaggeration, though he doesn’t always find the right balance; every now and then Observe and Report veers into territory that’s funny, but undercuts the movie’s internal reality, and there are several moments of unexpectedly graphic violence that will make some viewers recoil. But when the movie hits the mark--and it does so more often than not--Hill and Rogen tap into a rich vein of humor that stands apart from the usual Hollywood formula gags. --Bret Fetzer

Observe and Report [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Lesser
2009-12-15 - I can't believe this movie made Paul Blart seem like comedy gold. I am in no way a snob, I love low brow humor like Dumb and Dumber, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell among others. This movie just isn't funny. Great cast and a good story concept, but nothing pops at all. Usually I like Rogan, but in this film he is just unlikeable and not amusing. I was really disappointed by this one.

Stupid piece of GARBAGE
2009-12-15 - This is the stupidest piece of rubbish I've sat through in a very long time. All of the (very few) funny parts were in the trailer, and when placed in the context of the movie, aren't funny anymore, just sad. This movie couldn't decide what it wanted to be, funny, gross, bleak, sad; it was just all over the place. Hated it.

Great cast...lame movie
2009-12-14 - Bought this thinking it would be really funny and was SOOOOO disappointed. Same basic plot as Mall Cop...but that movie was at least funny. This was a waste of money all around. My kids who love Seth thought this was horrible too. In fact, I don't think anyone even laughed at ANY part of this movie. Really disappointing. Save your money and watch it for free later, at least then you will have only lost a little time.

A depressing comedy?
2009-12-10 - I had high expectations for an hour and a half comedy romp. What was to be a romantic/slapstick comedy turned out to be repeated bouts of sadly disturbing violence caused by a psychological disturbed, middle aged, go-nowhere man. Don't waste your time or money.

Juvenile
2009-12-07 - This is a really, really bad movie. Packed with juvenile humour, humiliating manic depressive dialog and drunken nonsence. If you can help it, skip this movie or else you will be wasting your time.
