Wow. One of the worst movies I have seen in...as long as I can remember. If there's anything this movie did, it reminded me that a bad enough script can turn even the most likable people (Seth Rogen who I normally love) into annoying losers that you want to shut up and die.
I can't believe people are trying to call this "a dark comedy". THE ROOM is a more legit dark comedy than Observe and Report...
What's your plan for success, Mr. Screenwriter? "Well, i'm gonna do a comedy starring Seth Rogen, but it will have these really deep sub- plots that are really serious and emotional, it will be this insane combo like nothing you have ever seen in a movie before"... Well guess what, it takes a brain to mix genres. There has to be a REASON for it. You don't feel for a character when literally the only words that come out of their mouth are "retard" and "mother****er" multiple times per sentence (and they REALLY aren't saying anything else!!! idiots! all of them!!!) "I can totally just poop out a garbage script with no relevance or thought and it will be funny anyways because it's Seth Rogen and no one will notice how non-linear, shallow, and terrible the movie actually is..."
I feel bad for the person who wrote this movie. They seem like an intensely uncreative and unfunny loser... Why do I think this? Because every single character in the movie was unfunny, unlikable, AN ASSHOLE, and therefore a LOSER. When you have a movie full of losers...that comes through for a reason...it's radiating naturally from the person behind it all.
Anna Faris was one of the things that drew me into this movie, because she plays the most believable "dumb slut" in Hollywood...why, probably because she's playing herself. People keep talking about disliking her fake tits and fake lips...but why? No one really does it like that in Hollywood, and it's SO her. It's so fitting. Anyways...even she couldn't save this movie. She had a fitting character... but, her dialogue was weak. Her character had more personality than anyone else in the movie, but her lines were so highly clichéd that it took away from it.
I feel bad for Michael Pena, his character was embarrassingly lame. And Ray Liotta...decent paycheck i guess, right? On that subject, more of that non-linear bullshit...at the beginning of the movie Liotta hates Rogen's character and basically wants him dead for 4 or 5 scenes, then all of a sudden in the next scene he is on his side and feeling sympathy for him, and we're supposed to feel it too??? With no transition whatsoever? What is he, a robot? And us too???
I applaud the attempt at trying to go creative places with the random plot twists. The bi- polar part was one of the only worthwhile sub-plots/twists. Unfortunately, the climactic scene that occurs as a result of it was the most heinous action sequences I've witnessed in a while. Those cops were clearly just running up to him and letting him smash them in the head with his flashlight, they weren't even TRYING to hit him! It's so obvious...I could make better fight scenes with my friends...
I just felt like the entire thing was cheap and EXTREMELY unintelligent. Seriously...I could easily crap out a better movie than this in a day.
The only thing that gave the movie a 2 instead of a 1, is because of the guy they picked to play the pervert/flasher...his full frontal performance during the finale was one of the only memorable scenes in the film. His facial expressions were priceless. How can you forget the image of a flopping penis that small? I think FLOPPING might be "too big" of a word for it actually...
If you like horrendous garbage like Tropic Thunder, you'll probably like this. As for me, I like extremes...I like things that take it over the edge...but this movie doesn't do it right. It's just like a silent fart. Filling the room with it's terrible smell, but no one even got to enjoy big sound. No glamour, all guts...but rotting guts. A unfortunate disgrace to movies in general.
