Synopsis

Mild-mannered Paul Blart has always had huge dreams of becoming a State Trooper. Until then, he patrols the local mall as a security guard. With his closely cropped moustache, personal transporter and gung-ho attitude, only Blart seems to take his job seriously. All that changes when a team of thugs raids the mall and takes hostages. Untrained, unarmed and a super-size target, Blart has to become a real cop to save the day.

TinsHeadline Touches You
Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
cricketbat Not that funny, but strangely endearing. Kevin James is likeable, even if the premise is ridiculous, the plot is predictable and the supporting cast could have been played by cardboard cut-outs. This ain't no Die Hard.
xinzhaorekter I mean seriously, as a good movie, it falls flat, but as a so bad its good movie, this is incredibly fun, if you want to have a good time and see one of the best so bad its good movies them go right in
kevcoop7 I'm not one of those critics who blast movies out of proportion and out of context. This movie is a movie in which I can have a good laugh at how cheesy, stupid, and bad this movie is. For this review, I will be talking mainly about the acting, characters, and the comedy. 1) The characters- For one, the characters aren't all that bad. The character of Paul Blart to me if a lovable, goofy, and funny character who should be a sympathetic character. HIs daughter, on the other hand, is just plain annoying in this movie. This character got on my nerves, but that's just what the actress worked with. The love interest is also kind of an airhead and the romantic subplot is think is just shoehorned in this movie.2) The Acting- The Acting was okay for the most part. The guy who plays the new guy, Vec Simms, he does well as well as the main star, Kevin James. Kevin James is a funny and goofy comedian who can make me laugh no matter what he's in. 3) The comedy- To be honest, the comedy in this movie is a little bit lame, but still, it makes me laugh at loud in several places, and when it does work, it works well. All in all, I consider this movie a guilty pleasure movie, and when I want some mindless comedy, Ill watch this.
tammynelson-94904 Paul Blart: Mall Cop is a comedy, written by Steve Carr on January 16th, 2009, centered around an everyday, single father who is struggling to raise his daughter. Around the time of Blart's struggles (no wife, hypoglycemia, failing policeman test), this unlikely hero takes extreme measures to show that this mall is focused on the safety of the customers. Though very few workers at this mall aren't worried with their careers. Paul Blart continues to identify himself as a serious security guard when the mall is taken over by a seemingly harmless colleagues of his and a group of this young colleague's little helpers. Paul Blart quickly jumps into action the moment he realizes that his once endearing colleague has taken his daughter and potential girlfriend hostage showing how h always strives to be the hero he in his heart.This comedy is intended to give the audience a laugh to remember. Like movies such as Pitch Perfect, Steve Carr continuously creates jokes that revolve around Blart's weight and the fact that he needs sugar almost every hour. Apart from the insulting jokes, there is the question about language. Fortunately, parents are able to relax because the language is simply mild. There is only one curse word throughout the entire set, but the movie also settles to using God's name in vain. These sets of words are said to be used during one of the violent scenes. The violent scenes go as far as using stuffed animals to hit, guns in hopes of shooting, and threats to scare the main characters into backing down. IN addition to violent scenes, there are only a few scenes involving sexuality. Paul Blart is seen kissing his new girlfriend after having her life for only a couple seconds, bug any other idea of romantic things are briefly shown by Blart making googly eyes at the girl he finds beautiful and another scene that includes a longer showing of two girls fighting in Victoria Secret. The fight within Victoria Secret does include a brief peek at one of the lady's bras but nothing more is shown.Through all of the random scenes that seem to be expressed throughout Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Carr does come to the idea of never doubting yourself. Every character within this eventful movie seems to see Blart as the odd man out until the day that he saves the mall and gets the girl of his dreams. While viewing this movie myself, I had quite a few laughs but never truly appreciated the movie until I found the value of the message. Usually movies are less dramatic in selling the message to you, but the presentation was quite entertaining in the end. Overall, I would definitely recommend this movie for a family night in with the children but not for a first date sort of thing. I hope that everyone takes the same amount of laughs away as I did, and just remember to have a completely open mind while viewing this comedic movie.
