I've
noticed that most people's reactions to Observe And
Report have been very split (clearly, it's Rotten
Tomatoes score is 50%), but I'd like to say that when I saw
it at SXSW I thought it was one of the better dark comedies
I'd seen in a very long time. Definitely give it a
chance if you like twisted humor and weird characters.
Here's what you came for. Read on.
