Since our blog is now open to every topic, I thought I'd share my feelings about the movie Observe and Report featuring Seth Rogen, whom I love. I saw this movie last Thursday.
Where to start? The previews for the movie are pretty much the funniest parts of the movie. I was very disappointed. However, I don't think this movie is really intended to be incredibly funny. I feel like the movie was making fun of white trash, but it took it so far that you ended up feeling incredibly sympathetic to Rogen's character. At some points of the movie, I felt like people were laughing at parts where they shouldn't be. I can't laugh at other people's expense, especially when it deals with life circumstance and someone is trying to change their life....
Rogen's character wanted to be known in society, wanted to be a "hero" and had several issues, including bipolar disorder. He was in love with a hooker (she wasn't literally a hooker, but I call all dirty women hookers) who irritated me, and that's sad considering I love Anna Faris. I really hated her in this movie.
I am definitely a person who can laugh at anything and everything, but when it's an issue that is important to me (the issues addressed in this movie are important to me because I'm lame), then I can't really laugh at it, I guess. I guess I just sympathized and empathized with Rogen's character too much. His mother is an alcoholic in the movie and she passes out on the floor at night and sleeps there. She even tells Rogen's character that she blames him for his father walking out because he had "special needs" as a child and his father couldn't handle it. She tells him that she's going to stop drinking.....hard liquor and switch to beer because she "can slam them all day and still have her shit together." WTF? That's not funny. AT ALL.
I should stop now because I'm just ranting about how much I disliked this movie. Don't sell it as a comedy if it's not a comedy. Plus, there's nothing more disgusting than having to watch a chunky exhibitionist flash his junk. It was really gross. I'm talking full-frontal nudity running through a mall. *vomits*
All I'm trying to tell you ladies is don't go see this movie. Don't waste your money.

My brothers really want to see this movie, but I don't see why. All I could think about is Mall Cop.LOL I'm sorry it was so disappointing for you! I really like Anna Faris...well I liked the House Bunny which most people hated. So who knows, my taste is way odd.
Have you seen Zack and Miri?
Yeah, it does make you think it's like Mall Cop, but I guarantee that was actually funny! lol. I haven't seen that yet. I love Anna Faris. I loved her in all the Scary Movies and Just Friends. I haven't seen The House Bunny yet, but I want to.
No, I haven't seen Zack and Miri and I'm not really sure I want to....lol.
Omg I forgot about her in Just Friends! Hahahaha Forgiveness, is more than saying sorry! She was hilarious in that.
Yeah, don't watch that movie. There is actually this one scene that was incredibly romantic, and I actually thought it was one of the more beautiful love scenes I've seen. But otherwise it was...terrible. I still can't believe I watched it.
OMG, I loved her so much in Just Friends! "You guys are assholes, assholes!!!"
Yeah, I'm not interested in watching a movie about people making porno! lol.
