The Huffington Post has released their Top 10 Films of 2009 list. Surprising to many, “Observe and Report” made the list! Below is what they had to say:

7. “Observe and Report”
Where have all the Travis Bickles gone? Quick answer — the shopping mall. And if you got behind (me Satan), or rather, director writer Jody Hill’s subversive, hilarious, weirdly poignant and almost horrifyingly timely Observe and Report, you’ll see Travis, not only as a power-hungry security guard in the form of a schlubbier Seth Rogen, but also as a regular Joe consumer. He might be traversing the food court or staring at the ice skaters in the center rink or wondering if he can afford a flat-screen TV while making his mortgage payment, but he’s there, facing down all of that cheaply made fast food, recycled air and overpriced merchandise. He’s killing time and, to become even more of a downer here, he’s killing his soul. Yes, he’s killing his soul at…Cinnabon. It’s funny and yet it’s not. It’s heartbreakingly sad. And weirdly joyful (especially in a heroin moment. That’s right, a shooting-up heroin moment). It was also one of the bravest, most underrated movies of the year. One day it will be considered a classic.
