      Critics Consensus

      Though it has a mean streak, and does not cater to all tastes, Observe and Report has gut-busting laughs and a fully committed Seth Rogen in irresistible form.

      Larry K Another Seth Rogen masterpiece Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/28/23 Full Review John A Very akin to the other 2000's comedy 'Hot Rod'. Seth Rogen paired with Jody Hill seems to make for an interestingly compelling and funny romp. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/27/23 Full Review cbcguy Drags at a lot of parts but gets very over the top in the third act which bumped the score up a little Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Bryan B Not the best movie ever made of course, but there are some absolutely hilarious moments and Seth Rogen is fantastic. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/23 Full Review Sean R Great underrated Jody Hill film . If you liked any of his other stuff, it's a must see. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/15/23 Full Review Stephen C LOL, 01 hour: and 26 minutes of humorous content!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Tom Charity CNN.com More than once, writer-director Jody Hill teases out the slippy, gray area between a subversive gross-out gag and something unsettlingly misogynist. He wants to push buttons, and he's talented enough to get away with it. Apr 10, 2019 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: C Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Hank Sartin Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The film’s tone is somewhere between Napoleon Dynamite and Taxi Driver, in an unexpected and clever way. Rated: 3/4 Dec 1, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins In-your-face and out-of-control, but very wickedly funny. Rated: 8/10 Nov 29, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Seth Rogen gives what is easily the best performance of his career. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 18, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
