Seth Rogen has imprinted his name as one of the funniest if not THE funniest comedian actor as of today and whenever he seems to land a role in a comedy it sparkles gold. Observe and Report is probably the only exception.

The movie seemed to come out of nowhere and did not get a lot of publicity which is rather odd for a film starring Seth Rogen. He had many previous hits that made him into the A-listed star he is today like 40 year-old virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad, Pineapple Express and Zack and Miri Make a Porno. I thought all of those films he was in were extremely funny and seeing him use weak jokes in awkward situations in this film was a serious let down. I guess it was one of those situations that the director wanted to make a comedy and wanted an A-list comedian. Seth Rogen being the nice humble guy he is, probably couldn't turn down the role no matter how unfunny he thought it was.

The movie had jokes that give you a chuckle and not a huge laugh like in his other movies. The movie was more grotesque and shocking than funny in my opinion. Rogen playing a Bi-polar mall cop gives many moments where he outbursts his anger in situations which I guess was intended to be funny. But like I said the film all around was awkward and dragged on too long. The storyline was pointless and the characters weren't interesting or funny enough to keep me from despising it. All in all Observe and Report is an unfunny comedy, which I guess wouldn't make it a comedy, so I guess you can just call it a movie starring Seth Rogen with other actors trying to make jokes.
