Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

We watched Observe and Report.

Meh. Seth Rogen gave a good performance, but the movie failed to sell me. There was a total disconnect between its earnestness and its absurdity. And the overall tone and delivery came off way too flat for the ridiculousness of the content. It needed to either give in to the absurd, or dwell in the dark humor, can't decide which I'd have preferred, but I do know that the middle ground it occupied did not work for me.
