Observe and Report

(I won't be including as many pictures with my posts because they seem to keep disappearing.)

Current IMDB Rating: 6.9/10
My Rating: 6.8/10

I like my comedy quick and witty and unexpected. This isn't that. Although most of the comedy is extremely unexpected...
EXTREMELY unexpected... it isn't really quick or witty. A lot of gross out humor that pushes envelopes that haven't been touched since John Waters made his last movie. There are about two full minutes at the end of the movie where a fat man runs around a mall in the nude and ends with him being shot and blood flying everywhere. By that point in the movie my mind had been so warped (as far as not knowing how to react to certain scenes) that I ended up cracking up at the man being shot. It was not pretty. So, I do think this movie was put together well, and I don't think anyone other than Rogen could have played the main role, but it is very awkward and not what I was expecting at all from the previews. Go into it with a very open mind.
