Mehmet (london) 1 out of 3 found this review helpful what a jokes movie best comedy ive seen in ages br /seth rogen never lets u down br /how can u not like it!! br /u stupid fools!!!! Travis Bickle: Mall Cop May 2, 2009 JH Dickinson (York, UK) 8 out of 10 found this review helpful This is comedy in the darkest shade of black. Observe And Report observes and reports on the life of the tragically flawed character that is Ronnie Barnhardt, from the minute his mall becomes the target of a flasher operating in the car park. Ronnie leaps into action when the flasher targets the subject of his wildest dreams - trashy mall beautician Brandi - which also marks the beginning of his feud with Detective Harrison, sent out to deal with the situation. br / br /Seth Rogen, familiar to many from his shlubby lovable loser characters in Judd Apatow's films, swings completely to the dark side in this role as bipolar Ronnie, which is probably his finest performance so far. He continues to carry out his mall duties obsessively, dealing out his own brand of justice, as he spars with Ray Liotta's Harrison - Harrison just wants to do his job, but is gradually driven to despair by Ronnie's continual ignorance, nuisance, and presence. Michael Peña is particularly hilarious as Dennis, Ronnie's 'right hand man' in mall security, and his performance is perhaps the only one you don't feel dirty inside for laughing at. br / br /Be aware that this is definitely NOT a family movie though - it's not too graphic, apart from a prolonged section of full-frontal male nudity, though the themes in this film are more mature than plenty of 18 certificates I can think of. For instance, besides Ronnie's delusional nature, and often terrifying behaviour, there's some flat-out racism, date rape, and armed adults jumping and beating up teenagers. br / br /This is a very funny film, though most of the time it's a slim choice between laughing and crying. Equally though, it is a great study of Ronnie's character, even if many of the things you see you may not want to remember! Dark comedy with complex characters October 3, 2009 Mr. J. R. Trinder (Canterbury) This isn't an easy film to watch, not that it isn't funny becouse it is but becouse it's the comedy is uncomfortable and you feel bad at laughing at a guy who has mental disorders. Put simply if you enjoy films that make you think and make you laugh then this is the film for you. But if your into films like 'Scary Movie' 'Date Movie' 'Disaster Movie' then you won't like it, and don't let people tell you Paul Blart: Mall Cop is better, becouse it's REALLY not. Not that great and far inferior to Mall Cop August 4, 2009 KM (England) 7 out of 11 found this review helpful When I got to the end of watching OBSERVE REPORT, I let out a massive sigh of relief as it really was such a struggle to get through. With a combination of a very thin amount of jokes (most of which were not at all funny, in bad taste and pretty unoriginal), a next-to non-existent plot which has Seth Rogen as Ronnie, the head of security at the Forest Ridge Mall who is on the lookout for a flasher who has been terrorising the staff and shoppers, as well as trying to get into the police force, this just failed to be anything but less than average at best which is a shame as lead actors Rogen and Ray Liotta are usually great in most of the films that they appear in. This however was well below the standard I'd expect from them, which is surprising as Rogen is one of the best known actors in comedy at the moment, being in recent successful films like SUPERBAD, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS and KNOCKED UP. br / br /There were a couple of funny moments but for just a handful of laughs, this isn't really worth the time or money on seeing as it is generally pretty rubbish. There's obvious comparisons to the excellent PAUL BLART: MALL COP and in all honesty, that film is better than this in pretty much every way possible, so I'd watch that instead. br / A failed attempt at being a 'dark comedy'. September 16, 2009 Kieran Montgomery (Aberdeenshire Scotland) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful Observe and Report got me excited by the trailer, it looked hilarious by the looks of it, had Seth Rogen (Knocked Up, Pineapple Express) and co-starring Ray Liotta and Anna Faris, I was expecting something funny, but it just turned out dull. br /Much like Paul Blart, Seth Rogen plays a mall cop who wants out of the mall and be a real cop, unlike Paul Blart, Seth Rogen's character has all sorts of issues that stop him getting hired as a real police officer, such as an interview scene where he talks about shooting up all the scum of the city, meanwhile he tries to woo the make-up girl played by Anna Faris, and track down a pervert flashing at the women at the mall he works at, while in competition with a real cop played by Ray Liotta to find him. br /The jokes are either too morbid to laugh at or go on for too long, sometimes there's long scenes with no comedy and just depressing or boring scenes with nothing going on. Has a few decent jokes here and there, by seems like a huge waste of talent. Showing reviews 1-5 of 7 1 2 Next »
