The tone of Observe and Report is much darker than that of Rogen’s previous comedies. That’s likely because the man behind the camera this time is Jody (The Foot Fist Way) Hill. I’ve been pretty excited about this film since I first heard about it. Think Paul Blart: Mall Cop, but funny. The story centers on Ronnie Barnhardt (Seth Rogen) a bipolar mall security guard who’s called into action to stop a flasher that’s been targeting women at his mall. When Barnhardt can’t get the job done they call in a surly police detective (Ray Liotta) to bring the pervert to justice. The cast also includes Patton Oswalt and the lovely Anna Farris. Observe will premiere at SXSW film festival in March. Enjoy the very red band and very funny trailer below.

* If you haven’t seen The Foot Fist Way add it to your netflix queue.
