Comedy starring Seth Rogen as Ronnie Barnhardt, a security guard at a shopping mall who dreams of becoming a police officer. When a flasher turns up at the mall, Ronnie seizes the opportunity to display his formidable talents for law enforcement, hoping that his capture of the criminal will not only earn him his longed-for place at the police academy but also win the heart of his dream date, make-up counter girl Brandi (Anna Faris). (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

Cute in its naivety and silliness, Observe and Report is also vulgarly unethical. Though it’s a bit forced, it is a comedy that will make you roll on the floor with laughter. Watching this type of movie once in a while is fun, but if you do it regularly, it will turn you into a retard.

There are a few good moments, but otherwise Observe and Report alternates between moments when "it's too much" and when "there's nothing at all". The jokes are not very original, not to mention the punchlines, which are mostly based on someone (usually the main character) saying/doing something embarrassing and the others taking him for a jerk.

When I first saw a movie with Seth Rogen, I found it entertaining. However, since then, it gradually declines and I feel that it is just annoying, especially because he chooses the same characters or even writes scripts for the same types. His boss in the mall security fits perfectly into his scheme without any problems. Affected, pretending to be interesting for the audience because he is in love and maybe he wants to make amends, but in reality, he is just boring. I simply don't enjoy this. It's cliché, boring, and everything is basically said from the beginning. The fact that it is sometimes rougher and vulgar is not such a victory nowadays.
