"Observe and Report"

The Seth Rogan comedy "Observe and Report" is not worth your time. Seth Rogan plays a bi-polar mall security guard looking to solve the crime of a mystery "flasher." The R-rated movie uses every opportunity to uphold it's rating. Seth Rogan is exactly what you'd think he'd be while playing a mall security guard. The first 20 minutes might make you think the movie is going to be funny, but after that, every joke repeats itself.

The highlights of this movie are Rogan's mall security cohorts. Matt Yuan and John Yuan almost steal the movie with their performances. Is it worth seeing the movie for, though? No. Aziz Ansari has a cameo, which should have been much longer. I'm starting to think that everything this guy does is funny. Even with these 3 providing some funny moments, the movie falls short. The writing was leaning on Rogan and Anna Farris too much - but the comedic duo was not able to save this movie.

Overall, I'd say don't bother watching this. What we can learn from this movie and "Paul Blart" is that you have to do more than just put a bumbling idiot in a mall security guard outfit in order for a movie to be funny.

I'm glad Rogan put out "Funny People." Though I haven't seen it yet, I'm sure he redeemed himself with it.
