I loved films like Zack and Miri Make a Porno and I was pleasantly surprised by Pineapple Express but I really just couldn’t get enthusiastic about Observe and Report which will be released on DVD tomorrow.

Rogen is Ronnie Barnhardt, a mall security guard who dreams becoming a real cop.  He’s socially awkward which is magnified by his crush on a cosmetics salesgirl (Anna Faris) who runs a kiosk in the middle of the shopping center.

If you are looking for some light humor, this is a great movie but don’t expect to be rolling on the floor in hysterics (although there are a few “so cringe-worthy it’s hilarious” moments).  It’s still worth checking out – who doesn’t need a laugh these days?

In this film, Rogen plays Ronnie Barnhardt, the head security guard at the Forest Ridge Mall.  He tries to rule over his domain with an iron fist, reprimanding anyone from skateboarders to shoplifters and unruly customers.  Of course, what Ronnie really wants is to become a real police officer.

When the mall is struck by a flasher, Ronnie must go above and beyond to protect his turf while hoping to attract the attention of beauty counter clerk, Brandi (Anna Faris).  Unfortunately, his crime-fighting skills put him in direct competition with Detective Harrison (Ray Liotta) of the Conway Police and it soon becomes a race against time to beat the “real” cops to the stalker.

I think that this movie has the potential to be really funny if they don’t try too hard.  Check out the trailer:
