"Paul Blart" - Rewrite

After considering my blog, talking to friends, and re-watching a part of "Paul Blart," I felt compelled to re-write a review of this movie. In my first review of it (which I kept on my blog), I tried to find the positives. However, I've realized that diplomacy, when it comes to movie reviews, is for the birds. "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" is a terrible movie. At best, it should have been released in a straight to DVD format. Kevin James does his best to salvage an otherwise terrible movie with some attempts at physical comedy, but falls short. The casting is bizarre. They cast Keir O'Donnell, better known as the "creepy" brother from "Wedding Chrashers" as the villain. Rick Thorne, who is a professional BMX rider - not an actor, was also cast as one of O'Donnell's cronies.

If I had to say one word about this movie, I'd say it's amateur. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. I hope Kevin James rebounds. I am a big fan of his. He needs to forget about this one and just move on.

  1. Taking a mulligan on mall cop ay?

    I may be in the minority but I didn't mind this movie. Yeah it was cheesy most of the time and the plot wasn't exactly Oscar material, but it still made me laugh just enough not to hate it. Plus I think it may actually have been a children's movie which might be why no one liked it cause the previews didn't necessarily suggest it was for kids.
