    Flat out Bad

    A vulgar and unfunny copy of Mall Cop (which wasn't a very good movie to start, IMHO).

    I took my teenage son and two of his friends to see this waste of $40. There were a couple of funny moments (but a comedy with only "a couple" of funny moments isn't good). Otherwise, it was boring, tried way to hard to be shocking (using the "F-bomb" 40 times in a one minute sequence is neither funny or shocking...just tiresome), bad acting, horrible wrting, etc., etc.

    And the ending, which does have a bit of a "shock" to it (thankfully, I was all but asleep by that time), was also disturbing (if you've seen the flick you know what I'm talking about). I actually couldn't look at the screen (is that what they intended?).

    I suppose if you are BIG Seth Rogen fan MAYBE you'll find something to like about this movie. If you aren't find something better to do with your hard-earned cash!

    Terrible movie, DONT SEE IT

  • Go

    Aw c'monnnnn people...

    if you're not sensitive and you're into crude,crazy, "unnecessary humor", this movie is for YOU! if you're conservative, don't see it. wasn't seth rogen's best but hey, he's the man! this isn't one of his usual movies either. he switches it up and goes toward the darker side of comedy which probably won't appeal to the majority of movie-goers. hmmmm... it wasn't great and it wasn't bad.. it appealed to me :p
    oh, and it's rated R for a reason. it's no "Mall Cop" so children.....stay at HOME.

  • Oh No!

    IT SUCKED!!!!!!!!

    This movie made me want to go to the bathroom and take a huge pile of crap all over my face!!!!!

    The superb character actor Celia Weston (In the Bedroom) is truly breathtaking...

    Funnier than the silliest comedy because it's surprisingly real.

    Funny as hell.

    Ronnie is more complex, and much scarier, than the kind of self-deluding boob...
