Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Observe and Report is a lot better when it's being funny than when it's rummaging in the shadows.

It falls short of brilliant but it's a lot more daring than what passes for 'dark comedy' these days, and it reminds us that 'feel bad' comedies may not always be as funny as 'feel good' ones but, when they work, they can ultimately be more satisfying.

You don't relate or enjoy watching Seth Rogen's character on screen.

I don't think it's much of a comedy. The darkness overpowers everything.

fresh:
Bracing, bleak and berserk, this is a film which laughs in the face of American intolerance, and comes up punch-drunk and grinning.
