Right now, the world needs a hero.
An anonymous flasher (Randy Gambill) exposes himself to shoppers in the Forest Ridge Mall parking lot. The head of mall security, Ronnie Barnhardt (Seth Rogen), makes it his mission to apprehend the offender. He is assisted by the Yuen twins (Matt and John Yuan), Charles (Jesse Plemons) and Dennis (Michael Peņa) in his efforts. At home, Ronnie has a loving but dysfunctional relationship with his alcoholic mother (Celia Weston).
Ronnie's dream girl, Brandi (Anna Faris) who works a mall make-up counter, is flashed the next day, becoming distraught over the situation. Ronnie tries to comfort her until a police officer, Detective Harrison (Ray Liotta), arrives and takes over Ronnie's palliative role. Ronnie feels threatened by this and is upset that his boss allowed an outside person to infringe on his search for the offender.
The criminal activity at the mall continues, as a masked person is seen robbing a shoe store, causing property damage. Detective Harrison is once again called in to investigate, his efforts hindered by Ronnie's unusual attempts to resolve the matter. In response, Harrison curses out Ronnie during a meeting with Ronnie's superior. In defiance of the detective's angry rant, Ronnie decides to take the steps necessary to become a real police officer.
Ronnie obtains preliminary documents needed to become a police officer from a recruiting station, including forms for a physical and a psychological profile check, as well as entertaining the idea of a ride-along with a policeman on patrol. Ronnie decides to ride along with Detective Harrison. Harrison, fed up with Ronnie, tricks him into walking into the most dangerous part of town, and drives off. Ronnie confronts and then violently subdues several drug dealers, victoriously returning to the police station with a dealer's son and thanking the detective for his help.
Emboldened, Ronnie arranges a date with Brandi, seeking advice from Nell (Collette Wolfe), a friendly food court worker, who recommends that he just be himself, which Ronnie declares as bad advice. That night, Brandi arrives home very late, forgetting the date. Undeterred, Ronnie still takes her out. She consumes much alcohol and, when she sees Ronnie taking his tranquilizer medication, demands that he share it with her. He offers her the whole bottle, declaring that he won't be needing medication anymore; she proceeds to ingest mouthfuls of pills. Ronnie takes her home and they engage in sexual intercourse, despite Brandi's barely-conscious state.
Ronnie's optimism is deflated after learning he will never be able to become a police officer, due to his failure of the psychological examination, where he told the examiner disturbing stories concerning his violent, grandiose fantasies about law enforcement. Depressed, he is persuaded by Dennis to spend the day doing a wide variety of drugs and assaulting skateboarding teenagers. At the end of the day, Ronnie finds out that Dennis was the shoe thief, and that he has been stealing from the mall for quite some time. Ronnie is stunned and, after a brief argument, is knocked unconscious by Dennis, who then flees to Mexico.
After being chewed out by his boss for not realizing that Dennis was the thief, Ronnie decides to go undercover in order to catch the flasher. While he is undercover, Nell explains to him that her boss Roger (Patton Oswalt) makes fun of her for having her leg in a cast, leading Ronnie to beat Roger up. At night he sees Harrison having intercourse with Brandi in his cruiser, which induces him to confront her in front of onlookers at the mall the next day, breaking the glass of a display case, getting him into trouble with the law. Ronnie refuses to leave the mall, and police are called in to remove and arrest him. Not going quietly, Ronnie fights off many officers, before eventually being overtaken and then arrested.
After a brief time in jail, and a few days of recovery, Ronnie returns to the mall, although no longer as a security guard. He is approached by Nell, and she kisses him to console him. Interrupting their romantic moment, the pervert flashes Nell and Ronnie and runs off, exposing himself to many other mall patrons. Ronnie, pursuing the flasher in a slow-motion sequence, retrieves a gun from a closet and shoots the flasher as he approaches Brandi. She thanks him but he publicly berates her for cheating on him with Harrison. Ronnie's boss, impressed, throws him the keys to the mall.
Refusing the flasher an ambulance, Ronnie takes him to the police station, impressing the officers who had previously ridiculed him. A victorious Ronnie is then interviewed with the other security guards and Nell, who back on both legs is now his new girlfriend, as he returns back to his job as the head of mall security.

Bi-polar mall security guard Ronnie Barnhardt is called into action to stop a flasher from turning shopper's paradise into his personal peep show. But when Barnhardt can't bring the culprit to justice, a surly police detective, is recruited to close the case.

Ronnie tries to comfort her until a police officer, Detective Harrison (Ray Liotta), arrives and takes over Ronnie's palliative role.
