The Foot Fist Way director Jody Hill takes the helm for this Seth Rogen comedy concerning an ambitious mall cop who competes with a seasoned detective to bust an elusive flasher. Make a wrong move at Forest Ridge Mall, and you'll have to answer to no-nonsense security head Ronnie Barnhardt (Rogen). Ronnie sees skateboarders as the blight of society, and any shoplifter unfortunate enough to summon his wrath will be promptly busted and booked. Sure, Ronnie may suffer delusions of grandeur when it comes to his job, but perhaps with a little effort he'll eventually get to trade in his flashlight and patch for a gun and a badge. When a flasher begins tormenting the shoppers at Forest Ridge Mall, Ronnie seizes the opportunity to showcase his detective skills and impress gorgeous makeup counter girl Brandi (Anna Faris), who can't be bothered to give him a second glance. Perhaps by catching the culprit, Ronnie will finally earn himself a prized position over at the police academy. But the one thing Ronnie hadn't counted on was competition, and when Detective Harrison (Ray Liotta) of the Conway Police makes it his personal mission to nab the flasher, the two rivals begin working around the clock to crack the case before their counterpart. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Critically acclaimed director David Gordon Green takes a break from the brooding drama that defined such early efforts as George Washington and Undertow for this action-flavored buddy comedy concerning two pot-smoking friends (Seth Rogen and James Franco) who unwittingly become involved with a vicious gang of drug dealers. Judd Apatow and Shauna Robertson produce a script co-penned by star Rogen and Evan Goldberg. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, a fledgling insurance adjustor is forced to view the world from a perspective that he never imagined. Turner Stull was in need of employment when he traveled to New Orleans to work alongside his uncle Stully at the Bridge Catastrophe Service. The Bridge Catastrophe Service is an opportunistic company that processes insurance claims from hurricane damaged homes, and Turner is a young man who has yet to discover his path in life. Of course Turner's uncle Stully is a seasoned claim adjustor who knows the routine inside and out, and it isn't long before the eager nephew learns that the only way to keep profits high is to move fast and avoid emotional attachment. At first this sounds easy enough, but upon dealing with desperate people who have lost everything Turner quickly discovers just how difficult a job insurance adjusting can be. One day, in a moment of weakness, the inexperienced Turner agrees to help a man named Nixon search for his missing dog. In exchange for Turner's help, Nixon agrees to help his new friend with some insurance claims. Later, as the pair attempts to navigate the storm-damaged city, Turner begins to realize just what a profound impact the experience is having on his life. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
