Observe a cinematic atrocity...

"The world has no use for another scared man. Right now, the world needs a fucking hero."

Every review of Observe and Report will most likely mention Paul Blart: Mall Cop at some stage. The connection between these movies is understandable since both were released during 2009 and both provided satirical portrayals of mall cops. But while Paul Blart was a genial, good-natured, family... read more

-"I don't know, I don't speak Spanish"

Oh, thy hated "Observe and Report". I know just two people who thought positively of this one, not including myself. That actually shocks me, even as a pretty strict film critic. Bottomline, I'm in the COMPLETE minority here, and I seem to enjoy this flick more and more each time I see people trashing it. Som... read more

Observe and Report has about four or five truly funny moments in its short 86-minute running time. Now, if the scenes in between those four or five moments weren't so terribly off in terms of tone and coherence, I'd gladly give the film a positive review, citing those four or five amusing instances as well worth paying to go see the film. This is a film that tries way too hard to have its humor be... read more

Movies That I Changed My Mind About (51 movies items)

"I didn’t care at first for the film, mainly because even though it’s a comedy.... It’s a decidedly bleak, ugly, and mean spirited one. Rewatching, I realize now. That was the whole point. One that I missed out on."

An average movie

“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since I have a weak spot for Seth Rogen, I thought I might as well check it out. First of all, to be honest, to make a comedy about a shopping mall security guard was a rather weak idea even if I didn't think that this movie was as bad as many seem to think. Indeed, I usually don't like comedies making fun of some terribly stupid characters (for example, I do think that 'Dumb and Dumber' is easily one of the most overrated movies ever made) but this one turned out to be actually watchable. Of course, some of the jokes were just rather cringe-inducing but some of them were actually quite funny. For example, pretty much all the scene involving Ronnie's mother were just spot-on. Furthermore, it was a great move to have Ray Liotta who pla” read more
