Observe and Report is the new star vehicle for Seth Rogen and it does him well. Even if the box office receipts don't pan out, I know it has been out a couple weeks and it is not performing well. This film is a dark comedy and character study of a Mall Security guard with ambition. This film reminds me of Bad Santa in style of comedy, where there are few to no likable characters but entertaining none the less. I have not seen Paul Bart Mall Cop and I believe a lot of people may confuse the 2, I can assume that these 2 films are vastly different. O&R goes in directions that I didn't see coming story wise but it seem to make sense in the world they created. If you can laugh at uncomfortable situations and don't recoil at male nudity then this is a film for you. Not much else to say but this film is not for the weak of humor, it is a hard R film, enjoy.
On a side note, I saw a youtube video of Seth Rogen on stage doing comedy when he was 13. I think he is more immature now than he was but you can see this guy has a well groomed understanding of comedy.
UPDATE: Saw the film again with a friend whom I wasn't sure if he would like it or not but I suggested it. He loved it. I laughed the second time through so this is the goods. Also I really noticed how the music selection was great and really added an element to the film instead of hurting like in Watchmen. Support this film please, I want more like this.
