never landed his dream job of being New Jersey state trooper due to his excess weight. Determined to support his mother and his daughter, Blart takes the slightly less glamorous post as the security guard at his local shopping mall. He never complains, approaching the job with impressive diligence and pride, but doesn't get much respect for it. It's only when a group of misfits in Santa's Helper disguises take hold of the mall and several hostages, that Blart's would-be cop smarts come in handy and he gets a chance to shine. With a deadly situation on hand, Blart may finally be able to show the world (and his romantic interest, who just happens to be one of the hostages) what he's made of. Though the villains have several advantages over him, Blart has a Segway scooter and a big heart on his side.
With a heart that won't quit, a stomach that won't stop gurgling and a self-sworn oath to ... more
protect his turf, he's Paul Blart: Mall Cop.Mild-mannered Paul Blart (Kevin James, The King of Queens) has always had huge dreams of becoming a State Trooper. Until then, he patrols the local mall as a security guard. With his closely cropped moustache, personal transporter and gung-ho attitude, only Blart seems to take his job seriously. All that changes when a team of thugs raids the mall and takes hostages. Untrained, unarmed and a super-size target, Blart has to become a real cop to save the day.

Kevin James really brings his charactor to life and is really funny in Mall Cop. Its a really goodfilm for all the family to watch, I watched it with my partner and 2 children aged 14 and 11 and we were all giggling away through most of the film.

Some really funny parts in the film such as when he accidentely gets drunk when he drinks cocktails thinking its lemonade as he doesnt normally drink and when hes trying to save the hostages its really funny.
Dont want to give too much of the film away but its definately worth watching good funny family entertaint
Advantages: Easy to watch & enjoyable Disadvantages: Lighthearted subtle comedy may not suit everyones needs
This movie is a lighthearted comedy that i thoroughly enjoyed. The film's main character is Kevin James who I had never heard of until I stumbled across a classic American tv show called 'King of Queens'. Following this I have watched 'Hitch' and 'I now pronounce you Chuck & Larry' both which stars the talented Kevin James. The film is centered around a down to earth, single dad who is devoted to his family and thoroughly enjoys his job as a mall ... ...but unfortunately he has failed on several occasions due to his chubby exterior. His dedication to his work is sometimes seen as annoying to his co-workers and he always seems to be at the heart of his co-workers jokes, which makes you love the character all the more. Throw in the fact that he stumbles and makes a fool of himself in front of the beautiful co-worker he dreams about from a distance and you have a film full of fun, laughter and comedy ...

Under Cover
Last weekend we had a night in and me and my mum decided to get a DVD to watch with some popcorn. I generally like comedy films so we decided with the film MallCop which looked pretty funny. The cover was quite eye catching with the face of PaulBlart. The main character looked familiar but I was not sure who it was. The interesting thing about this film is that it is released by Happy Madison?s Pictures owned by top comedian Adam Sandler. I thought it had to be good as I am a fan of Adam Sandler.
PLOT
PaulBlart is rejected from the Police Force again after failing the health exam. He has a problem of falling asleep whenever his sugar is low. Paul is a single man who lives with his daughter and his mum. He trains to be a security guard at the local Mall and tries his best to do his job but no one ...

Review
Paul Blart: Mall Cop is a slapstick comedy with a hero who is a nice guy. I thought that wasn't allowed anymore (Chicago Sun-Times, 30/06/2009)
A movie with a surprising amount of heart […] James is an extremely gifted physical comedian (Empire, 30/06/2009)
