_DQ_5K59S2k red band trailer looks amazing

[AP_Punk]

oh so this is the movie he was shooting for a while there in ABQ.

cool.

[drudo182]

More mall cop stuff.... Ugh.

[drudo182]

Alright, I was wrong. Looks hilarious. Love Ray Liotta in it too.

[AP_Punk]

_DQ_5K59S2k red band trailer looks amazing

haha. looks pretty good from that.

[Smash Adams]

I guess Aziz Ansari really is everywhere haha

[AP_Punk]

move over, paul blart.

[RIP_HunterS]

This should be good. It is directed by the same guy that did The Foot Fist Way, and its been described as a black-comedic version of Taxi Driver.

[Drew Beringer]

bump, because this looks good.

[TalkShowsOnMute]

Saw this trailer at Friday the 13th, looks hilarious.

[TalkShowsOnMute]

bump, because this looks good.

Also, holy shit that's an amazing avatar!

[popdisaster00]

Before seeing the redband, I really couldn't tell if this was a kids movie or not

[Brandon Allin]

I think this movie looks great.

[yakob89]

oh so this is the movie he was shooting for a while there in ABQ.

cool.

Yeah they filmed it over at winrock. In the trailer you can tell some of the road scenes are on wyoming.

[billyboatkid]

haha this was filmed in Albuquerque.

I'm an extra in it. Should be pretty funny.

[billyboatkid]

Yeah they filmed it over at winrock. In the trailer you can tell some of the road scenes are on wyoming.
you bastard

haha. awesome!

lucky punk.

[popdisaster00]

"why are you stopping mother fucker?"

[Drew Beringer]

"why are you stopping mother fucker?"
oh god I'm sorry

[popdisaster00]

oh god I'm sorry
But does this not almost look like a pretty dark comedy?

[lfdfforever]

video no longer available bummer

[yakob89]

you bastard

Remember that girl we met on that one set that said they got all those girls together filmed em and the hottest one made it into the movie!!? I wonder if she made it? Oh and your a bastard LOL

[Ailite]

This looks pretty funny

[drudo182]

Watched Jody Hill's first film, The Foot Fist Way, the other day and didn't like it at all. Didn't realize he had written and directed this as well. Hope it's better than that.

[RIP_HunterS]

Watched Jody Hill's first film, The Foot Fist Way, the other day and didn't like it at all. Didn't realize he had written and directed this as well. Hope it's better than that.

I have a feeling that this film will have allot of the same qualities as the foot fist way. I personally loved the foot fist way, but I can also see why somebody would not care for it.

[drudo182]

I liked his style in it. Just didn't make me laugh much.

[Talib Scottie]

I'm not too sure about this one. I'd like to believe that Seth isn't going to start taking any role tossed at him, but this looks pretty bad for him. Of course I'll wait to see any scenes/trailers before I make a real decision but I can't even tell if this is a kids movie or what?

He's a fan of Foot Fist Way, and Jody Hill was actually in Superbad (with Ben Best and Danny McBride in the background) so he's not just making this movie for the sake of making a movie.

and surprise, surprise, Danny McBride sighting in the trailer

[fluke182]

That preview before Watchmen pretty much killed me. I really can't wait to see this.

[Cheshire_Buddha]

But does this not almost look like a pretty dark comedy?

Jody Hill's original idea was to cast Rogen and then no other comedians. He took out stuff that was too comedic, and wanted everything darker.

Loved The Fist Foot Way. Will be checking this out.

[Cheshire_Buddha]

That was changed right?

No clue, sir.

I can't believe that this comes out in a few weeks.

[samsara]

Oh cool it was shot in NM. Plus it looks really funny.

[sweetforever]

Looks hilarious

[Thomas Balkcom]

will be seeing this next week

[googirl8907]

I'll be seeing this Tuesday night if tickets are still available. I'm excited.

[BryterJonah]

The fact that Seth is slightly overweight looking makes this film feel like it was filmed a while ago.

Still, has lots of potential

[Until The Bombs]

This regular trailer for this makes it look really poor.

[BryterJonah]

It was filmed back in march 08. I could be wrong I think he purposely gain weight and got his hair cut for this movie
I'm just being this to his more recent physique. Like he looks more Knocked Up era Rogen here, which still ain't that bad.

[mht]

I'm pretty sure he is cutting weight real hard for the Green Hornet now

[DroppedUrPocket]

anna faris is fucking awful. jody hill and seth rogen give it hope, though.

[uglystar03]

anna faris is fucking awful. jody hill and seth rogen give it hope, though.

Pretty much this. I despise Anna Faris. She's not funny or cute. Her voice makes me want to slaughter kittens.

[circatbs]

im going to see this friday (day it comes out) with some friends. should be cool.

[drudo182]

I think Faris is really attractive.

[circatbs]

I think Faris is really attractive.

I do too.

[Kozzy333]

When I first saw the trailer for this I thought, didn't this movie already come out? Didn't I already see this movie? Didn't this movie suck? Now it actually seems like a (much) better version of Mall Cop, which was to much of a kid's movie for me and wasn't funny. This should be better.

[Adeniz19]

a lot of the reviews so far are saying this is actually a pretty dark comedy and not what they expected.

[ThisIsNotDan]

I love alot of Rogen's movies, but this only looks OK. I'll see it during the matinee maybe

[Adeniz19]

That is exactly what I expected because both of Jody Hill's projects, Eastbound and Down and Foot Fist Way, arer pretty dark. I hear its pretty violent as welli haven't seen either, but that news kind of makes me a little more intersted in checking it out. i bet sales are going to hurt since it's released pretty close to paul blart

[circatbs]

You should check out both EastBound and Foot Fist Way. Both are fucking hilarious and unique dark comedies. The audience for Observe and Report is a polar opposite of the Paul Blart shit so I don't see it affecting revenue. I'm sure many people, myself included, that are stoked for Observe haven't seen and have no interest in Paul Blart. Also PB is pretty much only in discount theaters right now

I saw Paul Blart, thought it was ok. It was actually not that much of a comedy, more of an extremely poorly made suspense film. I think this will be better.

[Rawrr]

Of course this well be better.

[xashkox]

I saw this in a sneak preview at my school on Thursday. It was shortly after I had proclaimed that I would see any movie that Seth Rogan acted in, but this made me eat my words. It was awful and not funny at all. I'm glad I didn't have to spend money on it, but sad I can't have the two hours of my life back. Seriously, don't waste your time or money.

[Laural666]

Rawr. i have no idea what this thread si about.

[jusscali]

I can totally see a female hating a movie of this type. Just saying.

I will say, the clips and previews dont make it seem that funny, but the early reviews are saying its hilarious. Also, I love EBD so what the hell.

[Laural666]

http://movies.ign.com/dor/objects/14239338/observe-and-report/videos/observe_rep_red_030409.html
okay?

[Chris Fallon]

I cannot wait to see this -- from what the reviews are saying, it's a totally different mainstream comedy from what we've seen lately.

[Laural666]

:wave:

:wave: hehe.

[Chris Fallon]

When I first saw the trailer for this I thought, didn't this movie already come out? Didn't I already see this movie? Didn't this movie suck? Now it actually seems like a (much) better version of Mall Cop, which was to much of a kid's movie for me and wasn't funny. This should be better.
Paul Blart is a kids movie. So that would explain why you didn't like it.

[jusscali]

Why is that?

I really feel like that's rather self explanatory. It's going to be over the top, overly vulgar, more than likely misogynistic - and given all the violence that they are saying is going to be in it - just doesn't seem like a movie girls would like. For example, any intelligent, respectful female I know hates Superbad and films of the same nature.

[jusscali]

To be entirely honest, I don't mind they don't get into it. They are more lady like in my eyes and while I love my friends that are girls that can be down with the guys, I also like having those on the other side of things as well.

[AP_Punk]

will watch this friday. hard.

[NickLopez]

This doesn't look good, but we shall see.

[doomcrs04]

Movie is really dark. Weird and definitely not the usual shit you get from Rogen.

[popdisaster00]

Movie is really dark. Weird and definitely not the usual shit you get from Rogen.
I'm excited.

[eMart]

Wow, this movie was fucking great. No matter what you read about his movie, you still won't be prepared for it. This is definitely a movie you're either going to absolutely love or absolutely hate. I'm curious to see how this does at the box office because I can see this being a big hit or just being an complete flop.

[AP_Punk]

hahaha. great avatar ^^^

this movie's going up against dragonboll evolution and the hannah montana movie. sigh.

[eMart]

Thanks :-)

That's why I'm going to be really upset if this movie bombs. Let's hope people are ready for a REAL R-rated comedy.

[Ben09]

It's hilarious. I thought I knew how the chase scene at the end was going to end, but I was wrong. I was expecting for Ronnie to tackle the guy and not shoot him.

[DaveFeelsRight]

the last 10 minutes was insane

[itsmesean0630]

It's hilarious. I thought I knew how the chase scene at the end was going to end, but I was wrong. I was expecting for Ronnie to tackle the guy and not shoot him.
Thanks a lot fucker. Ever heard of spoiler tags? Jesus Christ.

[DroppedUrPocket]

pretty awesome stuff. jody hill brings it.

[Chemical Love]

It's hilarious. I thought I knew how the chase scene at the end was going to end, but I was wrong. I was expecting for Ronnie to tackle the guy and not shoot him.
Thanks douche.

[Adeniz19]

thanks for quoting the douche, douche. haha

[Burn That Shit]

I just saw it and hated it. Seemed more focused on putting neat little songs behind each scene rather than making a decent movie.

[Thomas Balkcom]

seeing this tonight at ten o'clock

[eraserhead]

Thanks :-)

That's why I'm going to be really upset if this movie bombs. Let's hope people are ready for a REAL R-rated comedy.
hahahha nice avatar

[DroppedUrPocket]

now that i think about it a little, it reminded me a lot of a coen brothers film.

[airik625]

Going to see this Sunday.

[bladerdude360]

Wow, this movie was fucking great. No matter what you read about his movie, you still won't be prepared for it. This is definitely a movie you're either going to absolutely love or absolutely hate. I'm curious to see how this does at the box office because I can see this being a big hit or just being an complete flop.
I've been saying that I want to see this and everyone just says "oh it's just going to be another stupid mall movie." Glad to hear there's some real substance to it. I think it's great that there are some comedies out that are kinda under the mainstream's radar, like Adventureland (some kids at school have been saying it wasn't even a comedy, which is complete bullshit). I'm looking forward to seeing this.

Also, your avatar is hilarious.

[yoyostring]

It's hilarious. I thought I knew how the chase scene at the end was going to end, but I was wrong. I was expecting for Ronnie to tackle the guy and not shoot him.
well jeez dude, you kinda ruined the surprise of it...

anyway, this movie is REALLY funny. absolutely a must see..i wanna talk about it really bad but i don't wanna say anthing so it ruins it

[Thomas Balkcom]

freaking loved it

[Ailite]

This movie is fucking awesome. Pretty funny throughout, but the last chase scene is amazing. big naked guy running around, Where Is My Mind by the Pixies, and Seth shooting the living shit out of the guy. I was dying.

[Rawrr]

You just ruined the movie dipshitluvya

[DroppedUrPocket]

man, i would hate a lot of the people in here if i hadn't seen the movie yet.

[itsmesean0630]

I do fucking hate everyone in here.

[Schmidty Says]

I was impressed. Never saw the end coming...good fucking ending.

[AP_Punk]

loved it!

[TMS2787]

I only liked it, not loved it. But then again I was side-tracked by arguing with my girlfriend via text message.

Who did the cover of Where Is My Mind? during the chase scene

[irthesteve]

Not a very good movie. Not at all as over the top as everyone seems to be making it out to be, not quotable at all, supporting cast sucked dick mostly, and the storyline was pretty dumb.

Sure, I laughed, but compared to other comedies that have come out in the past yearish this isn't even up there

Major QFT.

[popdisaster00]

The movie won't do that well seeing as it's competing against Hannah Montana and F&F. I'm guessing this movie debuts at #4.

[Ailite]

Fucked my spoiler tags up, sh00p da wh00ps

[Rawrr]

F'ed up my lyfe.

[popdisaster00]

Called that shit.

I liked this movie a LOT. As everyone has already said, the last 10 minutes were amazing also.

8.5/10

[Gaugzilla]

Movie opened at #4 with $11.1 million. I expect the numbers will fall off hard in the weeks to come as I think this will Seth Rogen's "The Cable Guy." Way dark, but enjoyable.

[DroppedUrPocket]

lol i hated cable guy for the most part.

[billyboatkid]

Man I was gonna see this last night, but ended up drinking to much and couldn't drive to see it.

I think I will later today or tomorrow.

I also hated Cable Guy. Terrible movie.

[yoyostring]

Cable Guy is great.

[fantasma]

Cable Guy is a gem.

[DroppedUrPocket]

why would i blow up chick-fil-a? chick-fil-a is fucking delicious!

[drudo182]

Cable Guy is a great dark comedy.

[Dirty Ernie]

Sometimes, I drink from a volcano.

[jusscali]

I fucking love/ed Cable Guy...this film, not so much.

[CellarGhosts]

Cable Guy gets a bunch of hate but I like it. Not one of my favorites ever but still, it's enjoyable.

As for Observe and Report...haven't seen it yet but I'll probably go see it sometime. I can't stand Anna Faris at all though.

I do too. All of her scenes fail terribly if you ask me.

[CellarGhosts]

I do too. All of her scenes fail terribly if you ask me.
Yeah, that doesn't surprise me haha.

[c_rob2700]

Saw this last night. Thought it had some really funny parts but overall, not too good. I guess I'm just kind of getting tired of these comedies that are solely placed on crude humor. Also, definitely was not a fan of the 10 mins. of floppy fat man weiner.

[DroppedUrPocket]

anna farris is a plague. her scenes are awful except for when she's accentuating her rack, but she was in it much less than i thought she would be.

Seriously...this of course coming after the months of "big blue dong" complaints

[c_rob2700]

Seriously...this of course coming after the months of "big blue dong" complaints
Hahaha, this was much much worse though.

[AtlanticRadio]

I didn't enjoy this movie at all. It offered a couple of laughs, but you spend most of your time feeling bad about how fucking out of touch Seth Rogen's character is. I also fucking HATE Anna Faris. She's ugly and stupid. I didn't think it was possible to look like a bitchy person without opening your mouth, but she pulls it off. Well I guess she does open her mouth with that fucking stupid lip curl she constantly has plastered on her face. I really like Seth Rogan, but this movie has is hard pressed to make a 6/10 on my scale. Maybe it's just not for me though.

With you 100%. Faris and Liota just aren't funny...at all. Pena brings some laughs, but not nearly as many as I had anticipated. The asians are only really good for the initial laugh. Aside from when they are kicking the shit out of people its really just not that funny.

[CellarGhosts]

Saw this last night. Thought it had some really funny parts but overall, not too good. I guess I'm just kind of getting tired of these comedies that are solely placed on crude humor. Also, definitely was not a fan of the 10 mins. of floppy fat man weiner.
I know what you mean, and I love crude humor for the most part. I mean, I have absolutely nothing against it, it just gets old. I guess I'm a much bigger fan of more "intelligent" or "subtle" (for lack of a better word) humor. (ie movies like This Is Spinal Tap, Hot Fuzz, Monty Python and the Life Of Brian, etc)

I'll still give this movie a shot though. I'm thinking I'll just wait for it to hit DVD though.

[up da punx]

you guys are fucking idiots, this movie is great.

[Gaugzilla]

Speaking as a dude, people that have a problem with seeing wang on the big screen need to let that go. I'm not saying I'm begging to see a penis in every R-Rated movie, but after Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Zack and Miri and Watchmen, it shouldn't be a big deal. Unless you're showering in your underroos, it's nothing you don't see everyday.

[JJJ]

I thought this movie was really funny. I laughed quite a bit.

and the fat pervert running naked and in slow mo with his cock flopping everywhere was funny as fuck.

[fake empire]

I can't believe people are complaining about seeing a penis

[AP_Punk]

on-screen penis, forthewin

[drudo182]

If I thought Foot Fist Way was average at best, will I like this?

[Silentbob1]

you guys are fucking idiots, this movie is great.

This, this and this. Fucking amazing movie, the 2nd half was unreal. People just don't know how to react to a movie that goes against the grain. It had balls (literally and metaphorically).

[slickwataris]

Ben Lyons on At the Movies: "Wait...didn't we review Paul Blart in January?" lol.

[drudo182]

This, this and this. Fucking amazing movie, the 2nd half was unreal. People just don't know how to react to a movie that goes against the grain. It had balls (literally and metaphorically).

Or they watched it and just didn't like it.

[Silentbob1]

Or they watched it and just didn't like it.

Nope. They were wrong, there is no room for argument.

[x togepi x]

words cannot describe how much i hate this movie for making date rape into a cheap joke.

[atticusfinch]

This movie was so disappointing. Seth Rogen will bounce back in Funny People, the 3rd Judd Apatow film, which looks absolutely great.

[thisisadisaster]

Not a very good movie. Not at all as over the top as everyone seems to be making it out to be, not quotable at all, supporting cast sucked dick mostly, and the storyline was pretty dumb.

ALL OF THIS.

I guess I'm a much bigger fan of more "intelligent" or "subtle" (for lack of a better word) humor. (ie movies like This Is Spinal Tap, Hot Fuzz, Monty Python and the Life Of Brian, etc)

That's a good call, I wouldn't spend money on it. My friend works at the theatre so it was free. B

[B-Bones]

Faris was great in Smiley Face, not so much in anything else.

[CellarGhosts]

That's a good call, I wouldn't spend money on it. My friend works at the theatre so it was free. B
Yeah, I had thought of going to see it but after some reconsideration I decided to just wait for it to hit DVD.

[fake empire]

words cannot describe how much i hate this movie for making date rape into a cheap joke.

you're a moron

[jusscali]

Fucking hilarious, offensive, and just fantastic movie. Jody Hill delivers yet again, Seth Rogen is superb, and Ray Liotta is fucking ridiculously awesome. Danny Mcbride's cameo was great and I wish he was in it more. Obviously this movie isn't for everybody but everyone should give it a chance. They might be blown away like I was. Fuck the haters because they just don't get the movie.

The chase scene with Where Is My Mind was simply mind blowing. It really fit the scene perfectly just like it did in Fight Club

Yeah, everyone should give it a chance, on DvD

BOOM!

[jusscali]

you're a moron

Ummm, did they not take date rape and make it a cheap joke in this movie?? Just wondering.

[jusscali]

Or maybe people should be more open minded. Jody Hill is a fucking genius and his style of comedy is always funny.

No. I'm a huge fan of his other stuff, this movie just wasn't that good - maybe you could argue otherwise, but I'd still suggest people either see a matinee, or avoid the movie until it comes out to DvD. Also, again, as a fan of his stuff, it is simply ridiculous to refer to Hill as a genius of any kind - maybe a cool, funny dude, but ehhhh

[jusscali]

Besides, how is renting a film (giving it a chance without paying 11 fucking dollars) not having an open mind lol

[jusscali]

I understand that its a love it or hate it kind of movie. That is exactly why everyone should give it a chance because they just might love it. People should as least see a matinee rather than waiting for it on DVD or not seeing it at all.

I'm just saying I'm one to love this stuff, rather than hate it. And like I said, as one of those people - who understands what Hill is doing or rather trying to do and usually enjoys it quite a bit - this film just had more misses than hits for me.

[jusscali]

It's all earlier in the thread, and a number of people have provided similar feelings. For starters, this wasn't nearly as over the top as the reviews or early previews had suggested - I see no boundaries being pushed here. I think Faris and Liota fail for the most part. Just in general I was overwhelmed and bored.

[popdisaster00]

I really like Seth Rogan, but this movie has is hard pressed to make a 6/10 on my scale. Maybe it's just not for me though.

She was supposed to play a bitch..? You weren't supposed to like her, or any of the other characters for that matter.

Saw this last night. Thought it had some really funny parts but overall, not too good. I guess I'm just kind of getting tired of these comedies that are solely placed on crude humor. Also, definitely was not a fan of the 10 mins. of floppy fat man weiner.

I thought the entire last 10 minutes was fucking HILARIOUS. And I don't think the movie was soley placed on crude humor...yes there was a lot of it but this was a very dark comedy and I loved the fact that we are basically put up to hate each and every character.

why would i blow up chick-fil-a? chick-fil-a is fucking delicious!

Hahaha. I also loved the whole fuck you...fuck you....fuck you....fuck you....etc exchange

Movie opened at #4 with $11.1 million. I expect the numbers will fall off hard in the weeks to come as I think this will Seth Rogen's "The Cable Guy." Way dark, but enjoyable.

The budget for the film was pretty small so I think it will at least meet budget by the time it's taken out of theaters. I thought it did well considering the number of screens it was on and all the while going up against hannah montana and F&F.

[rising_tied]

Movie wasnt that great... I guess it wasnt that good since I had a high expectation for the movie since Seth Rogan was in it and Superbad was fucking classic.... but I felt the same about Pineapple express.. Im sad I payed to watch it in a theatre, but I dont watch movies at home so I woulda never seen it.. The funniest part was the indian dude, and when the dude got shot.. I was the only one in the theatre fucking dying and in tears.

[charliewinn]

"Why would I blow up Chick - Fil - A? It's fucking delicious!"

Fuck you saddam hussein from Iraq

[fake empire]

Ummm, did they not take date rape and make it a cheap joke in this movie?? Just wondering.

Ronnie's actions are supposed to offend people, there's no sense in whining about it

[jusscali]

Ronnie's actions are supposed to offend people, there's no sense in whining about it

I know what they are supposed to do, I'm sure he does too, but I also think what he said wasn't remotely moronic and that he has every fucking right to whine about what he damn well pleases. Just saying. I mean ever if it is Hill's intent to offend and to be low class, it doesn't negate the fact that it is in fact offensive and low class. To that degree, are you surprised someone is complaining about it?

[fake empire]

I don't see how it was a cheap joke. A very funny joke, yes.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

I thought it was absolutely hilarious when the movie was all dark comedy and then it goes all romantic with Nell kissing Ronnie, only for there to be fat pervert man dick all up in their faces I was honestly laughing about that for most of the chase scene without finding the chase scene itself to be that funny.

[fake empire]

tru dat

well I think you are supposed to like Ronnie, and that's what makes people feel guilty

[jusscali]

I don't see how it was a cheap joke. A very funny joke, yes.

I laughed. I thought it was one of the things that actually worked. I'm just saying I'm not going to act like people can't complain.

[jusscali]

Even though I fucking loved it I think Danny Mcbride would have made for a better and much funnier Ronnie. He has the part of a delusional and egotistic asshole perfected and I think his comedy style and delivery are a better fit than Rogen. Regardless Seth Rogen was still fucking fantastic

This X 100000, I'm sure they truly considered that, but knew that they needed Rogen to bring in a guaranteed draw.

[DroppedUrPocket]

i liked the way rogan played this character. mcbride plays the same schtick in all of his roles. it would have been funny, for sure, but i thought it was good for rogan's resume to play this role.

[yoyostring]

Or possibly Mcbride was busy filming Eastbound. Regardless he should have been have been Ronnie becuase he would have been infinitely funnier. Hopefully due to Eastbound and Pineapple Express Danny Mcbride gets more lead roles because he's the funniest comedian right now. Everything he has touched is gold including the awfulness of lHeartbreak Kid.. He was the the only good thing about that crappy movie
agreed. he needs more lead roles, he's one of the funniest guys out there.

[rising_tied]

I thought it was absolutely hilarious when the movie was all dark comedy and then it goes all romantic with Nell kissing Ronnie, only for there to be fat pervert man dick all up in their faces I was honestly laughing about that for most of the chase scene without finding the chase scene itself to be that funny.
Yes that was great and then the man getting shot was the icing on the fucking cake and by far the funniest part of the movie

I also think Rogen played the character as a more sympathetic one than McBride would have. Besides DM has already played the messed up asshole in Foot Fist Way and Eastbound and Down. He doesn't need to become the Michael Cera of dark comedies.

lmao i know!!!!! i was like what the fuck?!?!!?

[Throwback]

Great, great movie. Jody Hill is awesome.

[irthesteve]

I don't get alot of these responses in this thread. The movie was not over the top, it didn't push bounderies, it was not that dark of comedy, the final scene was kinda funny but calling it genius is retarded.

I understand enjoying the movie and finding it very funny, but to call it all these other things just seems retarded to me

[Burn That Shit]

Yeah, it wasn't that great.

[Gaugzilla]

So what he plays an asshole very well and is simply way fucking funnier than Seth Rogen will ever be. I generally love the movies Seth Rogen is in but he is rarely the funniest gyt in them. Usually the supporting actors in a given movie fucking own him except for Superbad. Danny Mcbride should never be compared to Cera because Cera isn't even that funny. At least Mcbride changes his silly hair and stache in every movie something Cera doesn't bother with (except for Year One).
Haha. Wow. Simmer down.

I'm just saying Danny McBride will typecast himself the same way Michael Cera is doing, playing the same character. Besides, he plays his characters with much more of a sense of detachment and coldness that I don't think would have made Seth Rogen's character likable at all (if he ever was likable in the first place), DM would just basically be playing Kenny Powers all over again except a little more violent. Being funny doesn't really matter in a role like this cause, really, the main character isn't meant to be that laughable. I thought Seth was a perfect fit.

[Miss Heartcore]

I enjoy just about any Danny McBride moments. The scene he's in is my favorite part in the movie.

I loooooovvvveeeeee you

[Daveyhavok832]

so I don't understand how it's alright for him to assault ten officers and shoot a dude just for being naked... I get that it's just a movie and also he suffers from bipolar disorder, but still

I'd say it's working out for them alright...

im glad you get that its just a movie... but what about spoiler tags?

those arent really anymore complicated to grasp...

[billyboatkid]

Saw this early today.

I thought it was quite hilarious. Yet, I wish they had more character stuff like with the twins and Dennis.

8.5/10

Gave it an extra half point cause it was filmed here. haha

[popdisaster00]

I think all of the spoilers got spoiled in this thread on the day the movie came out when 3 people started talking about the chase scene.

[oldwirehands]

"Fuck you Ronny! Nice hat, your stupid mother fucker!"

[oldwirehands]

Even though I fucking loved it I think Danny Mcbride would have made for a better and much funnier Ronnie. He has the part of a delusional and egotistic asshole perfected and I think his comedy style and delivery are a better fit than Rogen. Regardless Seth Rogen was still fucking fantastic

I hear that.

[Thomas Balkcom]

will be on DVD September 22nd

http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/observe-and-report.html

[Chemical Love]

Fuck, I was hoping this was going to be out before September.

[CollectiveConfusion]

just saw it, i thought it was pretty good. a lot darker than i thought it would be, which i liked

[Thomas Balkcom]

same here, can't wait to own this

Thanks for this. Been wondering when it would come out. Sucks it's so far off.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

I was a little dissapointed in this movie. Its funnier then Mall Cop, and pretty raunchy......but overall it wasn't much better then it.

Which isn't saying too much.

Wow. People are still comparing the the two?

There's no comparison outside of both being about mall cops! "O&R" is a dark comedy about a bipolar man with delusions of grandeur on the edge of a mental meltdown.

"Paul Blart" is a Die Hard ripoff strictly for kids.

It's like comparing "Terminator" with "Wall-e."

The difference with your comparison is they are like 25 years apart.

No matter how much different the undertones of the 2 movies are, when you release 2 movies, which are both comedies, and about a mallcop (which is rarely done)..within a month or 2..they will no doubt draw comparisons...and rightfully so

[CollectiveConfusion]

good things come in twos. volcano, dante's peak. deep impact, armageddon. wyatt earp, tombstone.

[PaulsRightNut]

surprisingly, this movie isn't so bad

[popdisaster00]

This movie was hilarious. Definitely worth owning.

[Rawrr]

Watching this now, so ridiculous, especially this Ronnie Vs. 10 Cops thing. But I kind of love it.

[GuitarR0cker1]

I love this movie.

[Rawrr]

I think Danny McBride would've made a great Ronnie as well, although his cameo was hilarious.

[chassmariee]

Look At My Dick!

[dsd is too high]

loved the movie.

the twist was amazing, it went from paul blart-ish to crazy ass dude in minutes.

[CollectiveConfusion]

I think Danny McBride would've made a great Ronnie as well, although his cameo was hilarious.

eesh. i don't think danny mcbride should do ANYTHING but cameos.

[fake empire]

This is one of the best movies of the year

[poppa Q]

I dunno about that, but shit was hilarious. One of the best comedies of the year, methinks.

[fake empire]

It's in my top 10. Love it so much.

[poppa Q]

I love you so much.

[fake empire]

:rape:

[Mitch]

Movie was awful.

[HogarthHughes]

I watched this when it first came out and thought it was okay, but I've watched it twice in the past week and it's better each time. The scene with Ronnie taking on all of the cops is just amazing.

[popdisaster00]

Movie was awful.
I disagree.

[xhmnimx]

Good movie. But it's pretty much mall cop!

[cantnokdahustle]

Good movie. But it's pretty much mall cop!

No, not in any way, shape, or form.

[AP_Punk]

that ^

[dundermifflin]

this movie was brilliant, and the soundtrack is just as brilliant

[Jason Tate]

Movie was awful.
This. Absolutely horrific. Didn't even make it through the entire thing. Awful.

[bradsonemanband]

i remember laughing a couple times, but overall its pretty forgettable. in fact, i don't even remember the parts that i laughed at, other than the Aziz Ansari scenes.

[RiCCioLi]

movie gets like a 4/10 in my book. best part from what i remember is when ronnie is banging anna farris and she is like passed out and goes "why'ld u stop fucker."

[sjb2k1]

this movie had its moments, but i was really, really happy when it was over and i didn't have to watch it anymore. however my friend, who made me watch it, thought it was fucking hilarious and amazing from start to finish. does not compute.

[mattyrocks]

this movie was brilliant, and the soundtrack is just as brilliant

yeah, i liked it.

danny mcbride is an uproar.

thats my muthafuckin seeeed! my legaaccyy!

[HogarthHughes]

I didn't like this movie until the second time I saw it. After I caught it on tv a third time, I enjoyed it even more. I think it's just refreshing to see Seth Rogen play a different type of character.

[showmethefever]

The ending of this movie is so great. And by the ending I mean where he shoots the guy.

[BottleRocket]

Love this movie. Can't wait to see what Jody Hill does next.

[deadkidsean]

I've said it before, but it's sheer genius. Hill, Best, and McBride haven't missed yet.

[Jason Tate]

By genius do you mean "one of the worst films ever made"?

Date Rape sure is funny! Awful movie.

[showmethefever]

I bought this and The Big Lebowski at a Blockbuster that was going out of business and we lost them. Like I don't remember bringing them in from the car and nobody knows where they went. Such a disappointment.

[showmethefever]

Oh come on, the date rape scene wasn't that bad. She was being a bitch and just using him for alcohol and he's obviously not completely right in the head/obsessed with her. And she asked him why he stopped when he tried to wake her up, showing that it was consensual.

[drudo182]

I've been meaning to watch this one again. Loved it the first time I saw it. Sure beat the hell out of The Foot Fist Way.

[Jason Tate]

Holy shit.

[zubinmoosa]

I thought the movie did what it intended to do. It's a "dark" comedy, and if you like laughing at despicable people who do terrible things, then it works. It definitely went way over the top (i.e. the date rape scene, because there is no doubt that is date rape) and I was squirming in my seat during that scene. But people going into it expecting another Knocked Up/Superbad were definitely taken aback by it

[BottleRocket]

Yeah it's in the vein of Taxi Driver as a character study of a seriously fucked up and delusional person.

[showmethefever]

The date rape scene caught me off guard the first time I watched it, but when she asks him why he stopped, I think that's their attempt at showing that it wasn't. Fuck it, I could be way off with that, but that was the impression that I got.

[Wake Up]

love it just as much as I did when I saw it years ago. film is hilarious and dark. just my kind of comedy.

[Smash Adams]

interesting how everyone here either loved it or hated it

[Thomas Balkcom]

this is one of my screeners to see if someone has the same sense of humor as me.

[popdisaster00]

This movie is great.

[fake empire]

This is one of the best comedies of the last 10-15 years, easily.

[buriedstars]

Fantastic movie. One of my favorites. I got so excited when mclusky started playing.

[thesollopsist]

I love this movie, the ending is so well done. Any use of Pixies is good use.

[jawstheme]

I really thought this movie sucked. Surprised to see so much love for it. And a comparison to Taxi Driver?

[BottleRocket]

Yeah?

[Brandon Allin]

This movie is horrible.

[popdisaster00]

It's really not bad at all if you're familiar with the people behind it...

[Brandon Allin]

I didn't find it funny at all, regardless of who is behind it.

[Wake Up]

I hope we get to see L.A. P.I. this year.

[BottleRocket]

I hope we get to see L.A. P.I. this year.
Is that still on? Last I read, Hill said his next project isn't going to be funny at all, not sure if he was talking about that.

no idea. article i read was dated back to 2010 so it's possible it's not happening. hyped myself up too much before doing any actual research.

looks like Hill's next project will either be a dukes of hazzard reboot or a Sam Peckinpah-esque film

This movie was depressing. I guess it's too dark for my tastes

This movie surprised the hell out of me, and I loved it.
