This is not the goofy, cuddly, giggly, lovable Seth Rogen from all those other roles. This is the comedic equivalent of combining "Psycho" with "Rain Man." It is DARK. This mall cop has serious issues. He is so sincere that every step of the way you root for him, while wincing at all he says and does, and then you stop and think about whether unleashing this man on the world is really a great idea.
This film is overall a comedy, but it really fluctuates (intentionally) in the amount of humor it includes. It goes for a very distinct type of laughter that isn't easily defined. The closest I can come to is to say that there's a correlation in how much you laugh to the degree of goodness and morality you have in your soul.
Thus, based on my amount of laughter and the dark, sociopathic joy this film gave me it was a solid B+
