Bargain hunters at the Forest Ridge Mall are about to get more than they bargained for when a chubby man in a ratty bathrobe starts flashing customers. Security guard Ronnie Barnhardt feels that this is the best thing to happen to him. Catching the flasher might just be his ticket to a real police job and to romance with a hot cosmetics-counter babe. Only one thing stands between Ronnie and destiny and that is the tall, handsome cop who actually knows what he's doing.

Skip submitted by Will O on August 30, 2020, 10:41am I'm not sure what they were going for here. Tonally it was a bit of a mess. It seemed like they were both going for a hard R comedy and also an anti hero satire but neither worked. The comedy bits weren't funny with a gay slur and at least two references to mental disabilities. Seth Rogan's character Ronnie rapes a drunk woman he had pressured into going on a date with him and the bloody violence really didn't work with the parts that were supposed to be funny.
It also didn't really work as an anti hero story because it kept trying to lighten the tone. I would have rather it been about mental health and how it can affect people trying to have everyday lives which was touched on but not really executed well with Ronnie. It also could have been an exploration of how even the slightest bit of authority can make people crazy with power but instead we get a happy ending for a horrible human being and zero accountability.
It's also incredibly unrealistic that the police wouldn't let him join because of a failed psychological evaluation. Clearly that isn't something that they care all that much about.
