jokeco68 Review of Observe and Report

Observe and Report (2009)

This was atrocious, offensive and completely abominable.

[1/10 · 20 March 2010]

I get dark humour, I laughed at the 'Cable Guy' and would recommend it to almost anyone. This, on the other hand, is so twisted that you really gotta wonder what is going on in the director/writer's heads? Date rape is funny? Shooting a defenseless man in the chest is funny? Smashing up skater kids no older than 14 is funny? I guess it get's points for going where others would sensibly fear to tread but I seriously question Rogen's lack of moral compass here, this guy pushed to get this piece of crap in the theater's? For what reason? To prove he's emotionally stunted would be my guess but it's only a guess. By the way, Seth? Try and get shot in real life and then try to walk it off like so many seem to be able to do in your movies, lemme know how that works out for you. The acting, camera work, sound and soundtrack were all fine here, has good production values but the story and the characters are all from deep in left field, there is no one to like here and there is no redeeming facet to this mess. Just awful.
