Paul Blart: Mall Cop: 2 hours of my life I cant get back
By politicaldisgust on May 25, 2009 in Movies
Once again I was tricked by clever movie marketing. Tonight I sat down to watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Kevin James plays the role of a single dad who’s failed attempts to get into the New Jersey state troopers (his dream job) has kept him at a job as a security guard at a local mall. The predictable plot includes a love interest played by Jayma Mays .
20 minutes into this flick and it was evident that the jist of this one-sided hot mess was centered around James’s bumbling, stumbling fat boy antics. The improbable love interest of James’s character played by Jayma Mays is equally uninteresting. Add to her thorougly unconvincing acting ability and you are left with a bad taste in your mouth.
The storyline centers around a group of thugs led by Keir O’Donnell who’s rediculous idea is to rob a mall of the stores nightly credit card take (what?!). O’Donnell’s character as a villian is overplayed and adds nothing to this banal comedy.
As entertainment goes, Mall Cop is a waste of two plus hours of time. Save your money and watch some reruns of Kevin James in King of Queens where his predictable acting ability is appreciated.

I agree 100%. The movie is just plain dumb and tries to play itself off as a combination of an action film, romance, love story, and comedy, and seems to fail at everything it tries to accomplish. It was not even a good renter in my opinion!
