In the movie, Rogen plays an over-zealous mall security guard who is also a nut job. His dream is to become a police officer, but he fails his psych exam.
Watch the movie and you will get an insight into Zimmerman, with one key difference. Rogen's character is not allowed to carry a gun.

OP
Another key difference is that Zimmerman was not so much as a security guard.

I won't give anything resembling a spoiler, but it's definitely worth viewing.

No one to 'allow' him or disallow him anything. As odd as this sounds, I think equating him to that character is too generous to Zimmerman.

(422 posts)5. I've described this movie as TaxiDriver meets Paul Blart - Mall cop
I like the movie, but there's not a likeable character in the whole film.
Although it has surpassed Fight Club with the best use of The Pixies "Where is my Mind" You know what I'm talkin about.
peace,
