It falls short of brilliant but it's a lot more daring than what passes for 'dark comedy' these days, and it reminds us that 'feel bad' comedies may not always be as funny as 'feel good' ones but, when they work, they can ultimately be more satisfying.

Deadspin

This movie has a clever idea - what if a mall cop truly believed he was society's last protector? - and then wraps it up in stylish sight gags and muffles the message by making Ronnie just a garden-variety, everyday bipolar depressive.

I don't think it's much of a comedy. The darkness overpowers everything.

It's a full-scale, contemptuous attack on the mall mentality.

Critic's Notebook

The film becomes almost nauseating, though, after serving up a steady diet of violence, drug use, racism and date rape.

Observe and Report is a lot better when it's being funny than when it's rummaging in the shadows.

I don't want to oversell it, but Observe and Report is the sort of offbeat studio movie that should be encouraged.

This is one of the best comedies of the decade, and I suggest you check it out immediately - just don't take your grandmother.

Time Out

Bracing, bleak and berserk, this is a film which laughs in the face of American intolerance, and comes up punch-drunk and grinning.
