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 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.
Quite possibly one of the most underrated comedies of the 2000's. Parallels Taxi Driver in a really satisfying way. It has an incredible soundtrack and great performances.
It works as often as it doesn’t, and it’s probably not as insightful as some have made it out to be, but I do have to admire an American comedy that isn’t afraid to pull its punches and aim for the groin.
5/10
Pretty dry movie with only a few laughable moments.
Sorry Bowman, not feelin this one
Dark satire disguised as late 2000s comedic schlock. It’s kind of horrifying in some ways. This is probably Seth Rogen’s best performance.
