Title: Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)Starring: Kevin James, Jayma Mays, Keir O'Donnell
Directed By: Steve Carr
I get it. He's fat.
That's hysterical.
Kevin James, you deserve so much better than this; AND you're credited as a writer! I'm guessing the credit came from improv moments or general character quirks, but come on!
The basic plot (if you can call it that) is "lovable fat security guard + Die Hard = hilarious!" I chuckled once. And I was ashamed. For those who've suffered through this mess, it was at Jamal Mixon's "Happy Meal" joke. Yeah, I'm sorry.
The fact that this movie made barrels of money (earning back more than it's $25 Million budget in its first weekend and going on to gross well over $145 Million in the US alone) is disturbing. And that's not to mention the added attention it got when it was nominated for a 2009 Teen Choice Award for favorite comedy (which it lost to Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian)!
Hollywood will not stop churning out these mindless wastes of celluloid EVER! But why would they? They're so inexpensive to make, they really only need 1 out of 5 to make any kind of bank to remain profitable.
Here's my personal note to America: STOP PAYING TO SEE CRAP MOVIES! IF YOU MUST SEE IT, WAIT FOR CABLE!
Oh, and avoid Paul Blart: Mall Cop, cuz it sucks.
Score: 4/10
