If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

If you ever need ideas on finding unfunny jokes or cringy moments, just pick this movie.Oh, by the way, it also includes nonsense about how it's legal to harass people, stalk them, not do your job and somehow not get fired, and other things.Sorry but I couldn't get past half an hour. I couldn't get over the fact that an attractive woman was interested in a complete and utter loser. Dragons, aliens, sure, whatever, I can accept magic wizzards, but any fictional story has its limits. A 10/10 girl will never date a 1/10 manchild.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop is a wonderful and funny film. Paul Blart is a very relatable protagonist, who loves his family and strives to achieve his dreams, despite being constantly let down by his hypoglycaemia, a moving metaphor for the hurdles we all face in life that can seem insurmountable. The plot itself is fairly solid, with constants twists and beautiful comic timing. We see a squad of villains who are both professional and quirky, which makes for a perfect pairing with the professional and quirky Paul Blart, as well as helping to establish a visual feel for the world of Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Add to this a great performance from the cast and you have a nearly perfect movie, and while there may be mistakes, the pacing and soundtrack will immerse you to the point where you barely notice. 10/10

The type of physical humor perpetuated by Kevin James is worth a few good chuckles, to be sure. The trouble, though, is that it is only good for "X" many jokes.For a basic plot summary, "Mall Cop" focuses on Paul Blart (James), an overweight mall "security officer" who continually fails to become a true gun-toting policeman. Just when his life seems to be at the lowest, however, he is thrust into a high-pressure hostage situation that tests his mettle.The first thirty or so minutes of this film are legitimately funny, watching Blart blunder through situation after situation. James is an accomplished physical comedian who knows exactly how to comically move his oversized body.Yet, the jokes stop being funny in the second half, when the film gets a little too repetitive. Those same "fat jokes" that worked so well in the opener are old hat once the climax approaches.Thus, this is a decent little family-friendly comedy. It isn't great, but you'll genuinely laugh on more than a few occasions.

well, what can I say about this very good movie masterpiece? firstly, credit to Kevin James. If I believed in reincarnation, I would want to live my second life as either Kevin James or the very good movie masterpiece Paul Blart: Mall Cop itself. On Blu-Ray though, not DVD. There is at least 15 very very good jokes and scenes in this film & that is possible the most of any mall-based comedy-drama I have seen in the last decade. If there was an Oscar for "best very good movie masterpiece of the year", this would have won. If this movie masterpiece was a facebook post, I'd either react with a wow or a haha. The decision would be hard. I once watched the sequel with my friends and it wasn't as good. i fell asleep quickly, but woke up in time to see the scene with the swan or goose (can't remember which). Very good comedy gold and a good return to form for the series that reminded me of this very good movie masterpiece original! Could only be improved if lead role or main bad guy was played by Pierce Brosnan, or another ex-james bond actor such as "Sean Connery". Very good movie, very 10/10!
