Quick Movie Review: Observe and Report


Observe and Report (2009)

Bottomline: How do movies like this get the greenlight?

What Movies Are Better? Go into the video store, close your eyes and point. I promise -- you won't do any worse than this movie.

After watching Seth Rogen in a few movies now, I've come to the conclusion that he pretty much plays the exact same character -- a slow-witted good-hearted socially inept guy who says the "f" word a lot. In this piece of celluloid crap, he is a bi-polar mall cop who, as fate would have it, goes off his meds and goes off the deep end. The movie is infamous now for its date rape scene (and, yes, it is date rape) that they try to make funny. But it's really at that point that you ask yourself: Why in the name of all that's holy am I wasting my time watching this stupid, stupid movie? If there is a highlight, it's Anna Faris as Brandi.
