Much of the movie is just plain vicious. At best, it's sad and grotesque, rather than hilarious.

Ronnie’s corruption is not an easy journey to absorb, but Observe and Report is committed to the hellish descent all the way.

Offers a surprising journey if you're prepared to ride along with Ronnie, his security cart, and his attitude.

Observe And Report is all pain and no gain. Avoid at all costs.

It's not consistently on-the-money, but Observe and Report's subversive humour should be applauded – even if it isn't as witty as it thinks it is.

Rogen and writer-director Jody Hill wring out of it a scary-funny character study about a warped man and his twisted sense of what it means to be a hero.

Here's an observation--Jody Hill's bum comedy fails to live up to the potential of its two talented stars, Seth Rogen and Anna Farris. As for the story, here's the report. It's stupid.

If this were an audition reel and I was the head of a studio I'd call security to make sure this guy Seth Rogen and his writer-director Jody Hill never got near enough to my office to cast a shadow on it.

...gets increasingly bleak and ludicrous as it goes along, until it ends on a sentimental yet still rude and vulgar note. The movie is relentless.

As raunchy and as nihilistic as a two-minute punk song. It has its envelope-pushing rewards, at times .. but it tends to make its single-minded point over and over. After a short while, you begin to wonder: Is there anything on its mind? There isn't.

You can cheer on "Paul Blart," something impossible in "Observe and Report," which is much darker. It does have some occasional funny moments, but they don't feel fresh

The latest in a long line of mean spirited, snark filled, low down comedies that while it lasts gives stereotyping a good name.

The hideous thing is that the film is modelling behaviour for young men who might still think it's all hilarious.

Writer-director Jody Hill attempts a difficult balancing act, so he can be forgiven for occasionally stumbling between laughter and squirms.

What is truly offensive is that a studio would say no to dozens of worthwhile projects and green light this garbage.

A funny version of Taxi Driver is a dubious proposition to begin with, and writer-director Jody Hill botches it from the start.
