Ronnie Barnhardt lives with his alcoholic mother. He's chief security guard at Forest Ridge Mall, where he's in love with Brandi, a cosmetic sales clerk, and gets a free coffee each day from Nell, a cheery clerk in the food court. A flasher haunts the mall's parking lot, and at night, thefts occur. Ronnie is intent on catching the criminals but has no investigative skills, is delusional about his abilities, and makes mad accusations. His bête noire is Detective Harrison, the city cop sent to investigate. Ronnie thinks he could be an officer, thinks he stands a chance with Brandi, and slowly loses his self control. Will reality set in? What about redemption?
Leave your thoughts about Observe and Report.
| eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiIt is so good and funny that as far as I am concerned, Jody Hill has officially been forgiven for "The Foot Fist Way." |
| MSNBCAlonso DuraldeThings go from bad to worse to violent and yet -- as in Pineapple Express, which also starred Rogen -- the film never stops being funny, even though you'll find yourself squirming more and more over Ronnie's behavior. |
| The AristocratAdam RossThis is one of the best comedies of the decade, and I suggest you check it out immediately - just don't take your grandmother. |
| CHUDDevin FaraciPerfect; it's dark and strange and dances right on the edge of being completely mean and unfriendly, but manages to keep from tumbling over. It's f***ing amazing. |
| New York TimesManohla DargisIf you thought Abu Ghraib was a laugh riot then you might love Observe and Report, a potentially brilliant conceptual comedy that fizzles because its writer and director, Jody Hill, doesn't have the guts to go with his spleen. |
| I.E. WeeklyAmy NicholsonSoon, Rogen will muscle up into the role he really wants: Rambo. That explains the shoot-em-up climax of Pineapple Express, an unfunny joke now stretched out into a full flick |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfAn acidic, anarchic layer cake of mental illness with comedy teddy bear Seth Rogen as its seal of approval. It'll be fascinating to see how this demented, treehouse feature is received by audiences accustomed to far bouncier takes on smutty giggles. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe superb character actor Celia Weston (In the Bedroom) is truly breathtaking as Ronnie's boozer mom. |
| CinematicalScott WeinbergHill and Rogen made precisely the strange little comedy that they wanted to. Trust me when I say that this is NOT your typical studio farce, and that's a wonderful freakin' thing. |
| LYTRules.comLuke Y. ThompsonIn other words, if Paul Blart were a monthly comic, and Alan Moore took over the writing, this might be the result. |
