By Stephen Whitty (1,794) for Newark Star-Ledger (1,745) on 09 Apr 2009

In the end, Observe and Report falls in the somewhat confusing middle -- guaranteed to annoy the mainstream while not quite delivering the…

Review of Observe and Report (2009)

By Mike Russell (146) for Oregonian (1,550) on 09 Apr 2009

Review of Observe and Report (2009)

By Adam Tobias (167) for Watertown Daily Times (163) on 09 Apr 2009

Review of Observe and Report (2009)

By Kevin Williamson (186) for Jam! Movies (2,396) on 09 Apr 2009

How much you're entertained will likely depend on your own taste as well as your appreciation for Hill's subversion of feel-good Hollywood norms…

Review of Observe and Report (2009)

By Avi Offer (997) for NYC Movie Guru (997) on 09 Apr 2009

Review of Observe and Report (2009)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 09 Apr 2009

A few of the less repeatable lines hit their marks, but the whole affair has the pasty-faced desperation of shoppers trapped in fluorescent light…

Review of Observe and Report (2009)

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 09 Apr 2009

Director Jody Hill presents all of this as a comedy, somewhere between absurdist and black -- like Napoleon Dynamite meets Martin Scorsese…

Review of Observe and Report (2009)

By Donald Munro (227) for Fresno Bee (603) on 09 Apr 2009

Aggressively mean and even more aggressively stupid…

Review of Observe and Report (2009)

By Michael Sragow (1,413) for Baltimore Sun (1,823) on 09 Apr 2009

This film isn't the most awful comedy of the year (that would be Bride Wars or New in Town), but it may have the grossest antihero…

Review of Observe and Report (2009)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 09 Apr 2009

By Jeffrey M. Anderson (3,573) for Combustible Celluloid (2,644) on 09 Apr 2009

Review of Observe and Report (2009)

By Bill Gibron (1,013) for PopMatters (2,617) on 09 Apr 2009

By Matthew Razak (302) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 09 Apr 2009

Review of Observe and Report (2009)

By Susan Granger (2,214) for SSG Syndicate (1,551) on 09 Apr 2009
