I saw the Man
Doesn't excuse itself from the uneven rhythms of the more mainstream Apatow bubble but maybe the nastiest indictment of toxic, thwarted masculinity to be put in front of an unwitting audience in a long time. Implicates every single character in its Venn Diagram of poisonous male privilege and attendant violence and sexism, consumerist oblivion, and class condescension. The women get the worst, which they're taught to expect and demand. Kind of awesome.
One of the most misunderstood, undervalued, politically-driven and counter-capitalist tragicomedies of the twenty-first century.
A mall cop's obsession with catching a pervert. That's pretty much the plot of Jody Hill's Observe and Report. We find somewhat medicated, Seth Rogen as the obsessive mall cop. He's everything you would expect in a Jody Hill movie. He's a loser. He lives with his alcoholic mother. He has no filter. He doesn't know how to read body language from the opposite sex. He suffers from anger management issues. However, through Hill's sharp writing, and Rogen's naturally ability to play the pathetic anti-hero loser; Observe and Report makes me laugh until I almost pass out.
Rogen has supporting help with the super stud talking, Michael Pena. He talks like a mackdaddy pimp. Anna Faris puts the sass in…
a scathing, pitch black portrait of america. rogen has never been better. holds up all this years later. check it out when it drops on netflix june 1, you (hopefully) won’t regret it.
A deep psychological character study in disguise as an absurdist comedy, "Observe and Report" is a heightened, darkly funny portrait of a man with severe narcissism, played terrifically by Seth Rogen, in one of his best performances.
had a friend in grade 8 who thought it was really funny that u could see the flasher’s penis.

EPISODE FORTY-THREE: OBSERVE AND REPORT
The Movie that Paul Blart: Mall Cop wants to be. This movie is one of the more underrated Seth Rogen films, it’s fucking hilarious and unexpectedly ahead of its time, in the way it portrays what could be seen as a “nice guy/mall ninja shit” stereotype, in form of Seth Rogen’s performance, which is one of his best in my opinion.
Another thing it was kind of ahead of it’s time with was the way it pokes fun of people with serious power tripping issues, while being an interesting parody of the alt-right.
TLDR: the Virgin Paul Blart: Mall Cop Vs. The Chad Observe And Report.
Such a good dark comedy! Rogen is perfect for the failson cop wannabe role, and his god-complex carries the movie to a whole other level. I can understand why critics sort of bashed this, but this is much better than I remembered it being when I watched it all those years ago. The ending is also so satisfying! The only bad thing I have to say about this is that I don’t like Ana Faris. I know she was supposed to be unlikable in this but she’s annoying to me beyond her character. Anyways, real good stuff!!!
Saw this in theaters forever ago, wanted to rewatch but a good friend told me it doesn’t hold up. Wish I could be as stupid and clueless as 17 year old me forever so I could enjoy everything.
Miraculously released within months of each other, Observe & Report and Paul Blart: Mall Cop are The Godfather and Scarface of the modern American justice industrial psychosis.
