R; 86 minutes
Ronnie Barnhardt (Seth Rogen) lives at home with his alcoholic mom (Celia Weston) and has dreams of carrying a gun and living the life of Rambo. Unfortunately, however, this bipolar guy has to be satisfied with his job as head of security at a Florida shopping mall. Not that he doesn’t have enough to keep him busy there; there’s a flasher running around scaring all the women, and there’s a thief running rampant after closing hours. But Ronnie spends most of his time getting free coffee from Nell (Collette Wolfe), the sweet girl behind the snack counter, and trying to make time with Brandi (Anna Faris), the slutty blonde working at the cosmetics kiosk. Ronnie is upset when his boss calls in Detective Harrison (Ray Liotta) to solve the crimes, and is intent on showing him up. With help from his druggie sidekick Dennis (Michael Peña) and the rest of his inept crew, Ronnie throws the whole place into chaos.

DVD Extras: Blu-ray release will include a picture-in-picture commentary with Rogan, Faris and director Hill; additional scenes; featurettes include “Forest Ridge Mall: Security Recruitment Video;” gag reel.
