At the Forest Ridge Mall, head of security Ronnie Barnhardt patrols his jurisdiction with an iron fist, combating skateboarders, shoplifters and the occasional unruly customer while dreaming of the day when he can swap his flashlight for a badge and a gun. His delusions of grandeur are put to the test when the mall is struck by a flasher. Driven 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 a coveted spot at the police academy and the heart of his elusive dream girl Brandi, 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 of the Conway Police, and Ronnie is confronted with the challenge of not only catching the flasher, but getting him before the real cops do.

Movie theaters showing Observe and Report near Charlotte,NC:
This was a pretty bad movie on all accounts. I went in knowing of the brutal moments and the black comedy, and I was still surprised at how bad of a movie it was. The characters perform shocking acts of violence and general disregard for laws and humanity...yet suffer no consequences. There's an uncharted mix of the passing of time. The soundtrack makes an attempt at being a character, but many of the songs are poorly chosen and are mixed way too loud into the movie.
I saw this movie on Saturday night. There was a more than 10 minute span of absolute silence in the theater, save the 5 18 year old girls behind me who laughed at ever f-bomb dropped in the movie. The room was about 1/4 full, and every person in front of me was texting on their phones, some even watching videos on phones or ipods, just so they wouldn't have to finish watching the movie they paid for.
