Ronnie is a mall cop with sizable dreams: he wants to be a cop. Partly to carry a gun, partly so people will finally respect him. When a flasher appears on his turf, it’s war-especially when one of the victims is Brandi, the makeup-counter girl whom Ronnie has a crush on. But when a actual detective intrudes in the case, Ronnie decides to bewitch matters in his absorb hands-to collect respect, to accept the case, and to obtain the girl.

OBSERVE AND Picture is perhaps the darkest comedy in ages. Seth Rogen does not play Ronnie as a beloved character, as many a lesser actor would; in Rogen’s hands, Ronnie is a borderline-sociopath, a bipolar loser who is as hilariously mild as he is hazardous. Anna Farris, as Brandi, is a comedic delight as always; she throws her self-esteem to the wind in order to wring the last dinky laugh from every scene. Michael Pena, as Ronnie’s sidekick, is a scene-stealer. However, it’s Ray Liotta who walks away with the only character to occupy his believe against Ronnie; as Detective Harrison, Liotta is tough and unforgiving, and the climax between the two ends the only plan it could (though you’ll be holding your breath the whole blueprint) .
In other words, Jody Hill’s Glimpse AND Represent is the darkest of sunless comedies, often bordering on a (non-supernatural) anxiety movie; the comparisons it’s garnered to TAXI DRIVER are well-founded, and often-times you don’t know whether to wince or laugh. Hill doesn’t fair steal things too far; he takes them to limits no one else would dare to. Ogle AND Record is not a comedy for the squeamish, but it’s certainly a film for those of us who don’t mind a few chills with our comical thrills.
Not to say that writer/director Jody Hill is the current Scorscese (he’s not), but I was constantly reminded of Scorscese’s early 80s disturbo-comedy “King of Comedy” when watching this. Whereas Scorscese uses stark realism, though, Hill uses the conventions and expectations of new comedy to nail us. This could have easily been another indecent and obscene comedy along the lines of Superbad or Pineapple Insist. Those (hell, most) comedies made today feature borderline-sociopathic, emotionally-retarded, and hopelessly immature males. Hill simply tips his characters over the edge. There is no denying that Ronnie (Seth Rogan) is a full-blown psychopath. What’s surprising is how cessation this character is to every other character Seth Rogan has ever played!

Your reaction to this film will be greatly effected by your expectations. If you question an extremely sunless, yet often amusing, film instead of yet another “Superbad” or, god forbid, “Paul Blart: Mall Cop”, you should not be disappointed in the least.
