Seth Rogen plays a bi-polar mall security guard in this new “dark comedy” coming out in theaters April 10th, titled Observe & Report. I’m a big Seth Rogen fan, and so far I don’t think any of his roles have let me down. I’m a little skeptical of this movie, cause the trailer isn’t making me feel like this is a must see, but I’m definitely gonna check it out regardless, and hope it doesn’t disappoint. The movie is also written by Jody Hill, who is a writer, creator, and executive producer for one of my newest favorite comedy shows “Eastbound & Down“, so that is a plus. The actor who plays Kenny Powers on Eastbound, real name Danny McBride, has a minor role in Observe & Report, playing a “Caucasian Crackhead” which should be worth checking for as well. I’ll try to update this post with my thoughts on the movie after I get around to seeing it, hopefully this weekend.
I finally got a chance to watch this movie, and I have to say I enjoyed it. I’m a big fan of Seth Rogen, and the projects he’s been involved in, so when I heard about this movie, I was anticipating it big time. Kevin Smith is also great, and the guy from The Office is funny as hell too. The concept of the movie had a lot of potential to make this movie interestingly funny to say the least. I really wasn’t sure if this movie would be as funny as I was hoping it to be, because the trailer didn’t really seem all that funny. I guess most of the parts that I found hilarious, wouldn’t be able to be shown on tv. My only complaint about this movie is the ending, which leaves part of the storyline unexplained.
If you enjoy 40 Year Old Virgin, Superbad, Knocked Up, type of comedy, then you will most likely enjoy this movie, so I would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a good laugh.
I need to have a small role in one of these movies, for real.
Funny side story, I brought this movie up to a cousin of mine, but I didn’t wanna say “porno” cause we were around family, and he accidentally called the movie “Zack And Miri Make A Mixtape” lol funny shit.
