This one was a bit interesting...I originally had no interest in seeing it but saw a review that made it sound great. Well even if you hear a review from somewhere that reliably makes good reviews on movies I guess it won't every time, this being the case.
The review dubbed it as a dark version of Paul Blart Mall Cop, which was a pretty light hearted comedy, and I thought it was pretty ok. So I am thinking a dark version would be something I would really like. The review failed to say that unlike Paul Blart, this movie was not so much a comedy, it wasn't just a raunchy version of Paul Blart, it was more of a story about a chemically imbalanced mall cop and how his life revolves around mall security. You would think haha that is funny! but the main character played by Seth Rogen is just a loser and everyone sees it except him so he basically gets crapped on the whole movie and people go out of their way to make his life suck more. Unfortunately not in funny ways, more in ways that hurt him and push him further toward crazy. By the end of the movie you have laughed a couple times and the movie pushes hard for about 10 mins where there is a funny chase scene and then a very unexpected twist. The twist is the exclamation point on (insert how you felt about the movie here), either you will love it or you will hate it at that point - I didn't like it for a couple reasons but I will let you make your own decision. I would rent it if you are interested but no more than red box $1.
