copycat storylines

when the commercials for seth rogen & anna faris’ new movie “observe and report” started popping up on tv, it was like pure deja vu. the whole unimportant-security-guard-that-has-a-chance-to-prove-himself thing has definitely been done before. in fact, it was done just a month prior. kevin james’ “paul blart: mall cop” finished out its run in theaters not too long ago to surprisngly ridiculous results – it took in more than $200 million at the box office. and before you know it, we’ve got a new bad-guy security guard in town. wow, poor planning by “observe and report”!
i’m sure that the powerhouse of seth rogen & anna faris will bring in lots of viewers – let’s be honest, they’re hysterical. but will people be tired of the same old storyline? i guess we’ll see! “observe and report” opens in theaters april 10th. for your comparison plesaure, the two similar movies’ trailers are below.
