Seth Rogen’s Anti-Blart Shines In NSFW ‘Observe and Report’ Trailer

By STV on February 10, 2009 at 6:00 AM

The NSFW redband trailer for Seth Rogen’s Observe and Report resolves a few lingering issues around the rapidly developing mall-cop comedy subgenre. First up: “Comedy” might be stretching things.

Sure, you’ve got Anna Faris refining dizzy drunkenness to almost molecular purity and a fearlessly multi-ethnic showcase led by Aziz Anzari’s brown-dick rejoinders. That’s funny, but Rogen seems to have more substantial motivations than love and duty, and higher ambitions than retail rectitude. “The world needs a fucking hero,” he growls, and we believe him, if only because of the existential terror anchoring every gag here. Who’d argue? Keep your $100 million and your script-ownership issues, Paul Blart; violent, cold-blooded, pitch-black revenge is no doubt the future of mall-security cinema.
