What’s with all this broo-ha-ha about Observe & Report being too dark? Are all comedies suppose to be lame and tame ala anything by Judd Apatow, or any comedy that seems like it’s from his fingertips? Guess that’s what people eggspect and want when they see the name Seth Rogen on a marquee, but if you ask us, we need less stuff from Apatown and more stuffs from O&R‘s writer/director Jody Hill. If you swooned to his Danny McBride anti-hero comi-tragedies The Foot Fist Way on the big screen or Eastbound & Down on the little screen, then you will do the same with his latest, which basically substitutes McBride with Rogen… and although we’re starting to warm to Rogen, we woulda loved to have seen how this mall cop affair woulda played out with McBest in the uniform and golf cart (how it compares to that other mall cop movie, we haven’t a clue, but these guys do, so hopefully that will answer that). The tone is in line with Pineapple Express, yet unlike PE, O&R delivers actual laffs that you don’t have to be high for… even if those laffs kinda disappear in the third act when this movie turns into a bona fide film. Same cannot be said of Judd’s duds (save Knocked Up). And you know you got something worth seeing on yer hands eyes when Ray Liotta is the kinda annoying that doesn’t annoy you and Anna Faris isn’t the funniest thing on screen. Gotta give some kudos to Michael Peña for trying something different, even if we felt a bit indifferent to it. Don’t fear the dark side folks, and feel free to cop a feel this wannabe cop!
