Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
The superb character actor Celia Weston (In the Bedroom) is truly breathtaking as Ronnie's boozer mom.

New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
Observe and Report is the rare "action-comedy" (almost always a muddled hybrid) that earns its cathartic climax. The blood is real because the psychosis is real. But somehow--the magic of comedy--it's also uproarious.
88
Charlotte Observer - Lawrence Toppman
You can't root for Ronnie. You can't identify with him. You can't hope he gets the girl – any girl. But you may want to look on with stunned fascination as he ticks away, ready to explode.

Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Funny as hell.

Variety - Joe Leydon
Ronnie is more complex, and much scarier, than the kind of self-deluding boob auds usually encounter in comedies of this sort. With the invaluable aid of Rogen, who's never been better, Hill sustains an impressive degree of tension between seemingly contradictory elements.
