Observe and Report
I was pretty wary of this film because the reviews were universally polarized... And the reasons given for the poor reviews identified aspects of "Black Comedies" that generally bother me...

Wow.
One of the best character pieces that I have seen.
Ever. Black comedy done right (and I don't generally like movies that are coined as "Black Comedies"). Just enough over-the-top comedy combined with muted humor and a truly tragic hero (who is horrible, but at the same time someone you're rooting for). The writing and acting were phenomenal, especially Seth Rogan. I
want to recommend this film, but I don't think that it's for everyone. However, for those who'd like it, you'll LOVE it.
4.5/5
