I remember liking it, though I thought the whole denouement was pretty cop-out. The rest of the movie was wicked in its dark humor.

I don't know, really? I thought there was a complete tonal shift, and I was really hoping the movie would end even more bleak than it began.

I loved it, my dad, who I saw it with, got up about 20 minutes in and played games in the arcade until it was over.

I understand, but he's on the my list of people that make a movie unwatchable:

Sandra Bullock
Shia Labeouf
Seth Rogan
Matthew McConaughey

off the top of my head.

I don't know how bleak it was--it felt like there was a handle on reality, and then there was that whole cop showdown, and then after that it seemed less like bleak realism and more like bleak satire. But I also really need to go back and watch it again.

And Observe and Report has Patton Oswalt, Aziz Ansari, Ray Liotta, and Anna Faris.

Patton is almost enough to save it, but Seth really is that bad.

Also the point of my reply was that none of the "kill it for me" characters were in D&C.

*I realize that perhaps the sarcasm wasn't evident enough to state that I puposelly ignore that MM is in that film.

Bleak satire or realism, it does not matter. It just was a terrible movie, and definitely not a masterpiece, in any way, shape or form.

It's a dark movie with a mentally deranged and dillusional protagonist and a great side cast. It's not the greatest film ever made, and it doesn't take place in space, but if you can put aside those things, you just might enjoy yourself.
