Attention, shoppers: Former King of Queens star Kevin James makes the successful leap to big screen leading man with this Die Hard meets Home Alone slapstick comedy produced by Adam Sandler. In his most empathetic role since his endearing scene-stealing turn in Hitch, James (who also co-wrote the script) stars as biggest loser Paul Blart, a 10-year veteran of the West Orange, New Jersey shopping mall, where he gets no respect from taunting kids who pelt him with ball pit orbs, or a senior who brazenly violates Bart's strictly enforced speed limit in his motorized wheelchair. The film is slow to get rolling as it lays on the pathos as thick as the peanut butter the lonely, overweight and socially awkward Blart spreads on his pies ("Food fills the cracks in he heart," he tells his mother). But then, a band of cycling, skateboarding thieves presumably recruited from the X games take over the mall on so-called Black Friday, the busiest holiday season shopping day. Blart is "untrained, unarmed, and presents a huge target," but, like a plus-size John McClane on a Segway, he is the wild card determined to stop them and rescue his unrequited crush (Jayma Mays) who has been taken hostage. James carries the film on his massive shoulders (the supporting cast is strictly discount outlet, with comedian Adam Ferrara as a sympathetic cop and Bobby Cannavale from Will & Grace and Third Watch as a bullying SWAT team leader the most familiar faces). He proves himself to be an impressively agile physical comedian and he's game for every body slam, pratfall, and tumble. Rated PG for mild violence, a few profanities, and a couple of gross-out gags, Paul Blart: Mall Cop is less crude than previous Sandler productions, more The Benchwarmers than Deuce Bigalow. --Donald Liebenson Stills from Paul Blart: Mall Cop (click for larger image)

(Robbie, 2009-11-10) IF YOU LOVE KEVIN JAMES IN KING OF QUEENS, YOU WOULD LOVE THIS! MY REVIEW IS 5 STARS BECAUSE IT IS GOOD CLEAN FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT AND THE KIDS WOULD LOVE IT. IT IS FUNNY, HEART WARMING AND GREAT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. I ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH!
(B Man, 2009-11-02) I probably am going to rate this movie higher than it's worth because I have worked with many security guards in the past ten years as well as a stint as one myself so I can see the humor in the jokes of this movie, but for others I can't really say, and there was something annoying about that fake mustache on Kevin James I couldn't stop staring at it in half the scenes. Anyway I'm going to give this movie a 2 out of 5 I did get a few good laughs out of it so if your into comedy I'd say give it a rental probably not worth a buy.
(virginia, 2009-10-26) I LOVE KEVIN JAMES MOVIES HE ALWAYS FINDS WAYS TO MAKE U LAUGH AT EVERY MOVIE HE MAKES I WILL BE BUYING THIS DVD!!
(Douglas N. Ritz, 2009-10-18) Easily one of the worst movies that I have ever had the misfortune to view.I stayed in the theater til the end,because I thought it had to get better.It never did.If I was Kevin James,I would go screaming into the night over what a pile of trash this movie is.I only wrote this review to warn people away from it.
(Bob Waskiewicz, 2009-10-05) "Paul Blart:Mall Cop" is a film the entire family can watch together.Kevin James is great,and its his film.The movie takes a turn around when the Mall is taken over,and the main guy behind the crime is surprising,then the ending has another surprise. I don't think there's a foul word spoken in the film.This is a fun movie because of the loveable star.If anyone else was staring in the movie it won't be the great hit it was.
