Observe and Report Poster Reminds Us of Our Need for Seth Rogen

For those of you who woke up this morning and said to yourselves, “Gee, I wish that I could see Seth Rogen’s face on another movie poster today.” It is a luck day, dammit. Rogen’s mug appears quite prominently — though not as prominently as his appearance on the Knocked Up poster event of 2007 — on the new one-sheet for Jody Hill’s Observe and Report, a film that sexed us up with a very solid redband trailer not long ago. This poster however, does very little to tickle our libido. Though we are quite interested to see what it does for you.

Observe and Report premieres March 16, 2009 at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival. For more on that, go to our SXSW ‘09 homepage. It will be in real theaters on April 10, 2009. Click the poster below to enlarge.

Oh boy, a movie set in a mall! I bet there's a lot we can do with that poster.

Or not.

Is Seth Rogen doing Blue Steel?

Eh, I have little desire to see this movie. There's only so much bungling-but-means-well-everyman I can handle.

Personally I will continue to keep interest in Seth Rogen's work as long as they keep pairing him with new people to keep a balance. I really liked "Pineapple Express" because they paired him up with the unexpected James Franco and it worked out great because you're taking someone who is of one very distinct personality type and you're pairing him with Seth Rogen who has the same consistent comedic acting which isn't a bad thing as long as there is someone else like Franco to keep that balance.

This is also why I'm looking forward to the comedy "I Love You, Man" starring Paul Rudd and the guy from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" because they are two funny guys but we haven't seen them do anything major together side-by-side besides "Knocked Up" and even that doesn't really count because their two characters hardly shared any screen time.

Long story short, we should expect this movie to be at least as funny as any other Judd Apatow/Seth Rogen comedy. This seems like it will be the adult version of Paul Blart so we'll see how it turns out.

This movie reminds me way to much of Paul Blart Mall Cop. If they replaced seth rogan with Kevin James in the trailer i would have thought it was just another one for Paul Blart.
