Without his meds, Ronnie is even more delusional than usual. Movies It’s Time to Recognize Paul Blart: Mall Cop as an Official Thanksgiving Movie You may not be able to spend the holiday with family, but you can still spend it with Paul Blart. His drunken mom (the great Celia Weston) may fret over his medication when she’s sober enough to remember. Dumping him in the worst neighborhood in town (Danny McBride plays a drug dealer) doesn’t turn out the way you’d expect. Ronnie and the boys hit the shooting range with all manner of deadly weapons. The flasher and a burglary bring Ronnie into conflict with a real cop, played by Ray Liotta on a slow burn.īut as similar as the characters and many of the plot points are to “Mall Cop,” writer-director Jody Hill (“The Foot Fist Way”) never shies from taking “Observe” into the dark recesses of Ronnie’s bi-polar mind. Then again, Nell (Collette Wolfe), the doughnut-shop girl next door, just might. She’s shallow but still isn’t falling for Ronnie’s tactless, politically incorrect come-ons.

There is some violence in this movie and its themes are more likely to be understood by children aged 12 years and over. It finds its laughs in flashers (full frontal nudity), firing range fantasies, cocaine, crudity and simple shock value. “Observe and Report” is a funnier movie, but also an unhappier one. Rogen takes his frustrated “real cop” wannabe into angry, profane and seriously antisocial places that the dimwitted Blart would never go. Seth Rogen’s “Observe and Report” is “Paul Blart: Mall Cop Strikes Back,” a dark comedy with “issues.” All malls may be created equal, with the same array of Gaps, Body Shops and J.C.
