Not what I was expecting at all...
I knew something was up when Seth Rogen took his pill the first time and his mom commented about why the dad left. |

Already got a zero reply thread running here
This one may be more lucky.. 
ETA: JSmith0515 review..... "This movie sucked. I thought it would be decent because of Seth Rogen, but it was horrible. I don't mind cussing, but this movie took it to a annoying level. Fuck was tossed around at least 500 million times. Avoid it if you havent seen it. " |

Somebody here (I think it was Raven) made the comment a while back that this film is basically Taxi Driver as a comedy. After giving it some thought I have to say I appreciated the film a lot more after that. Until then I just thought of it as an extremely strange mixture of sophomoric comedy and graphic violence. |

I was glad to hear about "Taxi Driver as a comedy" before watching this. Actually, that's why I bothered getting this one, otherwise it looked like Paul Blart: The Ripoff in the advertising campaign. I can't imagine staying through the whole thing in the theater if I had gone in thinking this was going to be a wacky buddy comedy.
As it was, I enjoyed it but damn it was creepy and depressing. Spoilers The ending felt like an homage to Brazil...I kept waiting for Ronnie to wake up in a padded cell. Being as how he went off his medication about halfway though the film, the increasingly dark events in the second half ending with the wish-fulfillment fantasy may or may not have happened. Much like American Psycho, a lot of Observe and Report could be interpreted as the delusions of a diseased mind. |

The movie is freakin' hilarious. You stop caring about the characters about halfway through and then it pulls you back in with the coffee shop cashier girl and her little drama, and Ronnie finally showing he cares about somebody other than himself.
"Whassup mo Freckle? How's yo dick hangin? Low I hope. I just wanted to write you and say that, you know I really am sorry for the way shit like went down and stuff, my bad, my blunder. I just wanted you to know that you really are my best man, problem is I'm a criminal man who doesn't care; and your crime is... you care too much. Regardless of our differences, I hope you know that I always respected you, it's not every day you that you meet someone who stands for something in this world, anyway, no hard feelings okay, but if you ever want to party, get your ass to mexico, the beers are cool and the girls are wet. Sincerely, your right hand man, Dennis." |

the movie wasnt as great the first time-
i laughed my ass off at every scene with that fucking HOTTY Anna Faris, I laughed til my gut hurt when Dennis, the Mexican security guard "shows Ronny the light" and takes him on a coke, heroin and whiskey bender Dennis- "None of this is going to be very pretty!" as he shoots up, and passes out 
"what up Mo-fackey" LOL and Aziz Ansari- "fuck you Ronnie" "Fuck you Saddam Hussein of Iraq" "fuck yooooooooooooooou Ronnie" the movie gets funnier every time i watch it. |

Dennis' line was even better than that: "I ain't gonna lie to you Ronnie, there is nothing good about this." Made me crack up. Danny McBride's thug in the bad neighborhood: "This is my seed right here! You see I got him on my motherfuckin' chest? I don't just tattoo any motherfucker on my chest!" The mustachioed cop hiding in Ray Liotta's closet: "I though this was gonna be funny, but it's really more sad" It really does get better with repeated viewings. I might have to buy this one. |
