The dreams of marginal figures

Seth Rogen’s old-fashioned comedy, plays a neurotic mall security guard, dreaming of becoming a policeman. The front of the film is basically nonsense, there is no tactics, it's just funny. Until the security guard got the police registration form and started to get serious, the film seemed to become serious. When his mother tried to persuade him, there was a sermon line, and it turned into an inspirational film. The front is loose and the rear is tight, and the structure is loose. The drama is not enough, the love is together, but even with some R-rated content, the film did not take up to 90 minutes, which is really lack of sincerity.
In fact, compared with the content of the film, the role of this film is more interesting. The protagonist-a dull and stupid fat man with manic depression, a Chinese-a pair of dull goose security guards, a Mexican-a drug addict + a liar, an Indian-a mobile vendor, a black man-a drug dealer, and an alcoholic Single mother, a slut and a lame woman. The whole film is full of ridicule about obese people, people with intellectual disabilities, people of color, women, and people with disabilities. Only the police and mall owners are normal, representing the "authentic" American class. If it is not for satire, then the director must be a complete neo-Nazi.
