Attention, shoppers: Former King of Queens star Kevin James makes the successful leap to big screen leading man with this Die Hard meets Home Alone slapstick comedy produced by Adam Sandler. In his most empathetic role since his endearing scene-stealing turn in Hitch, James (who also co-wrote the script) stars as biggest loser Paul Blart, a 10-year veteran of the West Orange, New Jersey shopping mall, where he gets no respect from taunting kids who pelt him with ball pit orbs, or a senior who brazenly violates Blart's strictly enforced speed limit in his motorized wheelchair. The film is slow to get rolling as it lays on the pathos as thick as the peanut butter the lonely, overweight and socially awkward Blart spreads on his pies ("Food fills the cracks in he heart," he tells his mother). But then, a band of cycling, skateboarding thieves presumably recruited from the X games take over the mall on so-called Black Friday, the busiest holiday season shopping day. Blart is "untrained, unarmed, and presents a huge target," but, like a plus-size John McClane on a Segway, he is the wild card determined to stop them and rescue his unrequited crush (Jayma Mays) who has been taken hostage. James carries the film on his massive shoulders (the supporting cast is strictly discount outlet, with comedian Adam Ferrara as a sympathetic cop and Bobby Cannavale from Will & Grace and Third Watch as a bullying SWAT team leader the most familiar faces). He proves himself to be an impressively agile physical comedian and he's game for every body slam, pratfall, and tumble. Rated PG for mild violence, a few profanities, and a couple of gross-out gags, Paul Blart: Mall Cop is less crude than previous Sandler productions, more The Benchwarmers than Deuce Bigalow. --Donald Liebenson

I watched this movie with my husband and we both laughed hard. You have to like slap stick comedy to be able to enjoy this movie though.

This movie was awesome, we rented it and watched it probably 5 times before returning it and then we bought it. My 7 and 9 yr old loved it and me and my husband thought it was hilarious. I can't believe all the negative reviews, it was awesome, you WON'T be disappointed.

A single, suburban dad tries to make ends meet as a security officer at a New Jersey mall. It's a job he takes very seriously, though no one else does. When Santa's helpers at the mall stage a coup, shutting down the megaplex and taking hostages (Paul's daughter and sweetheart among them), Jersey's most formidable mall cop will have to become a real cop to save the day. Refreshing to see a movie without bad language, unnecessary sexual content, good script writing, and enjoyable throughout. Characters were real and relatable and very funny.
Kevin James is amazingly funny in Paul Blart Mall Cop May 9, 2009

This movie became a sleeper hit as a low budget film turned blockbuster with $176 million worldwide I like this movie when I first seen the TV spots for Paul Blart Mall Cop I really wanted to see this movie which I did. I want to see this movie about two more times I like this Die Hard in a mall idea as a family movie with Kevin James as the title role I can't tell you about the movie go buy this movie on Blu-ray or Dvd and you love this blockbuster hit.
I really want to chew all on Paul Blart's bubblegum... June 8, 2009

I love me some Kevin James and so I was actually really excited about this movie, despite the fact that it did look rather lame. I loved what he did in `Hitch' and even though I feel that `I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry' was a ridiculous mess of a film, I found James to be the best part of it and actually funny in almost all of his scenes. Couple that with the fact that I watch `King of Queen's every day and the fact that recently an Ammy buddy of mine (here's your shout out MKIA) gave this five stars (hehe, we really are twins) and you have a few good reasons why I made this a must see film for my weekend.
I was far from let down.
Yes, this is not a brilliant comedy. It is a family gag film. In line with my grading scale though, when taken in context, this is a brilliant comedy. I mean, it does not set out there to be a smart and intelligent satire or anything like that. It attempts to get a rise out of the entire family (from the wee-little ones to the scrupulous adults) with countless pratfalls and childish humor and it actually succeeds just about everywhere. I can't think of a segment that didn't work.
I was laughing consistently.
The film centers around Paul Blart, a security guard who is very unlucky in just about everything. His wife left him and their daughter after she became a US citizen; he's been stuck doing the same thing for ten years despite repeatedly trying to advance to something better; he's consistently poked fun at while at work by everyone from co-workers to mall shoppers.
Paul Blart is, for lack of a better word, a loser.
After setting up the film by giving us the lowdown on Paul, his home life, his work relationships and his newfound crush on fellow mall worker Amy (that segue scene is hilarious) we are thrown into a `Die Hard' spoof when the mall is overtaken by superhuman thieves on Black Friday. With certain mall employees taken hostage and the rest of the mall evacuated, Paul finds himself the only hope of saving his mall.
What is so great about `Paul Blart: Mall Cop' is the casting of Kevin James in the lead. He has such sublime physical comedy that is matched by his ability to make his every word (even his manner of speech) genuinely funny. I think that is why I loved his pairing with Will Smith on `Hitch' so much. They have very similar comedic styles; they both used every inch of their bodies to sell a character. I've always loved the way Will Smith can contort his face to get a rise, and James does that to. We so often mention dramatic actors and performances as telling a story with their eyes, of truly sinking into a feeling and emotion and just ravishing us with their stare; but the same can be said for a truly rewarding comedic performance as well. Kevin James can crack a smile on anyone with just the expression on his face.
The rest of the cast is serviceable, but they really don't matter much when you consider the fact that this film rests firmly on Kevin's shoulders.
I definitely suggest this film for anyone who just wants to watch something funny, charming and entertaining. `Paul Blart: Mall Cop' feels fresh and exciting and completely rewarding, which is not something that can easily be said for a film in this genre. It's certainly not the best film of the year, or any other year for that matter; but for a somewhat mindless family fun escape from reality it does it's job and then some. Maybe 5 stars is a bit much, but I can't think of a single negative thing to say and this movie.
