OBSERVE AND REPORT (2009)
SYNOPSIS
At the Forest Ridge Mall, head of security Ronnie
Barnhardt (SETH ROGEN) patrols his jurisdiction with
an iron fist. The master of his domain, he combats
skateboarders, shoplifters and the occasional unruly
customer while dreaming of the day when he can swap
his flashlight for a badge and a gun.
Ronnie's delusions of grandeur are put to the test
when the mall is struck by a flasher. Driven by his
personal duty 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
him a coveted spot at the police academy and the heart
of his elusive dream girl Brandi (ANNA FARIS), 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
(RAY LIOTTA) of the Conway Police, and Ronnie is
confronted with the challenge of not only catching the
flasher, but getting him before the real cops.
