I'll definitely go see this. Seth is a bit overexposed, but funny.
This sounds funnier than I was originally thinking it would be.
I felt Seth did the best he could with an only decently written, poorly directed script. I was sitting there most of the time just thinking, "Now I know I'm supposed to be laughing at this," but I wasn't. And I was really rooting for it to provide some quality.
Overall, Observe and Report left this reviewer cold.
YAY RAPE

I'm a fan of Jody Hill's dark sensibilities. He also doesn't think of the movie as a typical comedy; and it is not. It's dark and dismal. The lead character is quite racist and quite delusional.
From http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/features/jody-hill-observe-and-report-interview.php
When Hill describes his movie as a comedy, it’s clear that he’s uneasy about the moniker - a new reality to deal with while working with a major studio. It’s much easier for a marketing team to tell the public at large that something is a comedy or a drama, something that fits neatly into those two boxes, than to make a trailer that tries to capture the true nature of a movie that should (if it succeeds) make you laugh during the dramatic parts and give you pause during the funnier sections.
When the film played at SxSW - the crowd was ideal for the screening. It was a huge audience all revved up and ready to laugh. Of course, it also helped that Seth Rogen’s hearty, boisterous laugh filled the room along with everyone else. It’s a funny movie - but even Hill doesn’t think that it will have the same hilarious effect in the general release.
“I don’t know if the movie is going to play quite as funny to people who are watching it at home. I tend to think it’s kind of a sad movie,” he says.
I thought this was that Mall Cop movie.
Looks fairly stupid to me. I'll probably see it anyway, just to hate it.
