Observe and Report - C (Skip It)
Observe and Report is one of the most disappointing films of the last few years. It had a lot of promise starring one of today's premier funnymen Seth Rogen, and hilariously ditzy Anna Faris. However it quickly turned into a very dull, not even remotely funny film that basically took the storyline of Paul Blart: Mall Cop and made it rated R. The main focus of the storyline changed about 5 times, never making much sense as to why it would abandon the previous one. The crudness of Seth Rogen's jokes that made films such as Knocked Up and Superbad instant classics came off as just him being a jerk didn't create hardly any laughs at all. After seeing the previews this was one of my most anticipated comedies of the year and immediately left me feeling greatly disappointed.

Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past - B (Gotta Rent)
I went into this moving thinking it was going to be a complete flop along the same lines as Matthew McConaughey's previous 3 or 4 romantic comedies. However, I was actually pleasantly surprised at how easy of a watch it was. It wasn't nearly as funny as it was probably intended to be, but at the same time wasn't as agonizing to sit through as most romantic comedies are these days. The best part of the movie is Michael Douglas coolly playing the ghost of his party-loving uncle. The relationship between Jennifer Garner and McConaughey is believable, as is his relationship with his little brother. The story basically takes A Christmas Carol's and merges it with that of a typical romantic comedy, trying to make the chauvinistic McConaughey realize the error in his ways. It's very predictable and doesn't bring anything new to the genre, but still entertains and is worth a watch.
