Burbank, CA, August 21, 2009 – Get ready to experience the long arm of the law when Observe and Report arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on September 22nd. From the truly unique mind of Director Jody Hill comes the uncomfortably uproarious tale of a wannabe law man and his quest for justice.
To say that Forest Ridge Mall head of security Ronnie Barnhardt (Seth Rogan) takes his job seriously is an understatement. Ruling with an iron fist, Ronnie lays down the law while daydreaming about life as a real cop. Ronnie’s mettle is put to the test when the mall is struck by a flasher. Driven by his devotion to the mall and its patrons, Ronnie seizes the opportunity to crack the case, hoping his triumph 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.
Observe and Report is written and directed by Jody Hill (The Foot Fist Way, HBO’s Eastbound & Down) and stars Seth Rogan (Pineapple Express, Knocked Up) Anna Faris (The House Bunny, the Scary Movie series), Michael Pena (Million Dollar Baby, Crash), Celia Weston (Junebug, The Village) and Ray Liotta (The Rat Pack, Smokin’ Aces).
Observe and Report will be available on Blu-ray for $35.99 and on single disc DVD for $28.98.
On September 22, Observe and Report will be available for rent ON DEMAND through Digital Cable, Satellite TV, and select game consoles. It is also available to buy through DIGITAL DOWNLOAD from digital movie retailers and select game consoles.
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.
