adonis98-743-186503 When a shopping mall is taken over by a gang of organized crooks, it's up to a mild-mannered security guard to save the day. Paul Blart: Mall Cop is a film that it's clearly not for everyone it's humor it's not for everyone and Kevin James as an actor is not for everyone but to be honest i died laughing with this film Paul Blart is basically John McClain but he is much dumber and he is basically fat the film has a lot of adventure and action sequences if you can call them that it's for sure over the top but i was entertained a lot and that is what truly matters to me in the end. Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009) gets an A+ what can i say? I liked it!!

Chris Shipton This "movie" is utter rubbish. I've seen "King of Queens", and always wondered how a fat waster like that got a reasonably attractive wife, but this movie just takes this to the extreme. Is this guy an actor? or just a fairground attraction. Hated it. Everything about this movie lets the viewer down. The attractive (goldie Hawn) lookalike girl, is nice, but, would she look twice at that fat idiot......NO. The daughter? the less said the better. The storyline is rubbish. It's as if they were just making a vehicle for Kevin James, to accelerate his career, I'M SORRY THEY FAILED. Got to make ten lines, so the film is rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish.

wkozak221 I watched this movie to see if was going to be funny. It wasn't. I found out Kevin James can not handle a feature film. The premise is pretty good. Paul has to protect his mall. Fairly good idea for a film. The problem is hypoglycemia is not a thing to make fun of. He has to constantly down sugar to stay awake. Also, he seems to be clueless. He is playing an 'air' guitar while the bad guys ransack the mall. This is not the funny. Also, he seems to take out every bad guy with little trouble. I find john candy and john Belushi much funnier. They also were much more adept at physical comedy. It was an OK film but not worth repeated viewings.

Clayton Holloway (Darkhorse_Knight) Every man has their guiltiest pleasure, and their is no shame in that. People like those indulge in films that, while admitably not great or even good movies, are fun to watch and unwind to. Films that seem more inclined to be viewed with a bunch of friends over a few cans of whatever soft drink you prefer and a big bowl of chips or popcorn, versus being viewed at high-class events with high-class officials at an Art-house Theatre. While I do see a lot of flaws in plenty of summer blockbusters, I believe no film company better describes this phenomenon like Happy Maddison. This is Adam Sandler's personal film production company that cranks out high-grossing, yet critically reviled comedies meant almost exclusively for the "Bro" Culture. Just for the record, almost EVERY Happy Maddison film is reviled, and some of the people do know this for a fact. However, equally as many people can't help but have a soft spot for Sandler and his awful films. And I'm man enough to say I'm one of them. Because my personal favorite Happy Maddison film is perhaps my biggest guilty pleasure. But for a good reason I'm going to get into.Paul Blart is, in essence, Kevin James playing the role of a kid-friendly version of John McClane. The film could just be called "Die Hard Junior" and you could never tell the difference. And that's not necessarily a bad thing to have in a movie meant for the former reason stated above. Sometimes a film about a horse is just about a horse and a film about a good-hearted security guard is just about a good-hearted security guard. In the grand scheme of things, it's actually one of the better Happy Maddison films because of it.But enough about my rambling, what's the story? Well, it's about Paul Blart. He's a Security Guard, or a "Mall Cop" if we're going by the politically incorrect title. He's an overweight police academy expelee with hyperglycemia, and he's well integrated into his job, as little action as he gets. He rides on a Segway and keeps West Orange Mall safe from the usual petty thieves and jaywalkers(or some little stuff like that).One night, a small gang of TPTs(Teen-Punk Terrorists for your new acronymic lexicon) begin to bust into the mall after closing while our titular character is jamming out on what I can assume is an arcade version of Guitar Hero. The Punks are revealed to be led by Veck Simms, a security guard trainee that plans on robbing every store in mall in order to splurge that cash into...something. I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure what Veck's plot was all about, even after 2 viewings of the film. All I know is it had something to do with the Cayman Islands. After taking out each TPT(which are named after Santa's reindeer because guilty pleasure why blooming not.), Paul finds the captives and tries to rescue them. Quite unsuccessfully, too. Before escaping to his private jet aeroplane, Blart finally helps arrest Veck along with Commander James Kent.And this is a spoiler to anyone who wants to see this....still here? OK.It turns out the reason SWAT was trying as eager as it was to take out Veck's crew was because Commander Kent wanted to "stop" the TPTs so that he himself could download all that money to the same aeroplane so he could do...something. I don't know why. It's just free money, I guess both guys just wanted to burn the mall a la Mafia style before having a party at the Cayman Islands, Christ if I know.Kent is soon arrested by the police chief, as is Veck and his crew. Paul Blart takes the John McCane route and just stays a lowly security guard, he gets the girl in the end. Yadda Yadda hootinnanny. For a Happy Madison film, Blart could've been better, but honestly, it could've been far worse. Far. Far. Far Worse. It's a summer Bro Film, and it's above average. All I can say, you can do better, but you can do worse. Final Result: 2 and a Half Stars- C Ranking
