CEBU, Philippines - Top comic Seth Rogen (Knocked Up) stars in Warner Bros.’ new dark comedy Observe and Report. The film also stars Anna Faris (The House Bunny), Michael Peña (Million Dollar Baby) and Ray Liotta (The Rat Pack).
At the Forest Ridge Mall, head of security Ronnie Barnhardt (Rogen) patrols his jurisdiction with an iron fist. The master of his domain, he combats skateboarders, shoplifters and the occasional unruly customer while dreaming of the day when he can swap his flashlight for a badge and a gun.
Ronnie’s delusions of grandeur are put to the test when the mall is struck by a flasher. Driven by his personal duty to protect and serve the mall and its patrons, Ronnie seizes the opportunity to showcase his underappreciated law enforcement talents on a grand scale, hoping his solution of this crime will earn him a coveted spot at the police academy and the heart of his elusive dream girl Brandi (Faris), the hot make-up counter clerk who won’t give him the time of day.
But his single-minded pursuit of glory launches a turf war with the equally competitive Detective Harrison (Liotta) of the Conway Police, and Ronnie is confronted with the challenge of not only catching the flasher, but getting him before the real cops.
Written and directed by Jody Hill (The Foot Fist Way), Observe and Report is produced by Donald De Line (The Italian Job), with Andrew Haas (Without a Paddle), Marty Ewing (Blades of Glory), Thomas Tull (The Dark Knight) and Jon Jashni (Sweet Home Alabama) serving as executive producers.
Opening soon across the Philippines, Observe and Report is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
