Review of Observe and Report

This movie was the first movie in a three-movie, six-hour marathon at my local theatre. I came into this movie with no assumptions. And I was knocked on my butt. Observe and Report is NOTHING like Seth Rogen's mainstream movies (Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, Superbad). Rogen plays Ronnie, a bi-polar mall cop who an unhealthy and inflated opinion of himself. When a streaker terrorizes women at the mall, this sets up a chain reaction of events that are both brutal and funny. Anna Faris is the skanky girl at the makeup counter and it is one of the bravest performances I've seen in awhile. Whether is racism or date rape, this movie pulls no punches. It's rude, crude, lewd, and the violence is startling. There is no middle ground. Either you will hate it or love it. I loved it. 7/10
