Forest Ridge Mall security chief Ronnie Barnhardt is convinced he’s meant for bigger authority, so when a flasher starts exposing himself to shoppers, he treats the case like his shot at becoming a police officer. Seth Rogen is Ronnie, patrolling food courts and parking lots with an iron-fisted sense of order, while Anna Faris’s Brandi, a cosmetics clerk Ronnie fixates on, gives his fantasies another target. When the investigation slips from his hands, a surly detective (Ray Liotta) arrives to take over, turning Ronnie’s badge-and-gun ambitions into a territorial standoff inside the mall.
