Kenny Powers is the ultimate antihero. Powers is a man without self-awareness who lacks proper ethics and morals and sits right on the edge of narcissism.

Observe and Report

We’ve seen Hollywood do paint-by-numbers comedy. Heck, we’ve even recently seen a paint-by-numbers mall cop comedy. But if there’s anything we can say definitively about Jody Hill’s Observe and Report, it is that it doesn’t give a f–k about painting or numbers.
