Normally I would refrain from adding my 2¢ to a movie like Mall Cop. Not that I'm too good for Mall Cop. No no. I just don't know of too much more that can be said after viewing either the trailer (preview) or the movie poster. Too me this is the kind of movie I might have sneaked into in my youth simply because I had watched all the other movies in the metroplex. Those were the days, when I would pay $7 and then hop from theater to theater until I had gobbled up every movie playing. Of course there was also no cable TV then either.
Basically this is the story of a security guard working in a New Jersey mall. His dream has been to join the police force but his weight has always disqualified him. One day some criminals take over the mall and take hostages. Mall Cop Paul Blart is trapped inside and decides to help the police regain control and attempts to take on the gang on his own. Hilarity ensues.
This movie is the dream child of comedian Kevin James who wrote and then stars as the main character, Paul Blart the Mall Cop. The director is Steve Carr of Daddy Day Care fame. I won't lie, there are a couple of times that I may have shaken my head with some inner prepubescent laughter. Over all this is what you would expect, bad jokes about being fat from a fat guy. I have chosen to give it a few words because as of January 30 this movie has made a little over $83 world-wide. It was finally removed from 1st place on the charts by the movie Taken with Liam Neeson. I can only hope that by giving this movie some air time here it will have brought some people that will discover some good movies that I have written about. I beg you to go see them and not give your money to films such as this one. 1/10*
