This movie suffers from a terrible title and trailer advertisements that show the dumbest parts of the movie. I went to this movie with my mom the other day, and didn’t expect too much out of it. I had a free ticket to see it, so I thought I’d give it a chance.

I’m glad I did. There are some really dumb moments (just about all of them showed up in the commercials), but it does have a really nice story. I liked that they portrayed Paul as a capable man, despite his size and disposition. Too many times in these movies, the heavy comedians are portrayed as blunderers and slackers who come out on top by accident. There’s a bit of that in this movie, but thankfully, most of the time Paul Blart is shown having the skills and knowledge, he just had some real emotional and physical boundaries to overcome.

Often times commercials will show the best parts of the movie, leaving me disappointed when I leave the theater. This time it was the other way around, and I left the theater quite satisfied with the movie.

This one is a bit cheesy but still worth consuming. Paul Bart: Mall Cop takes a poke at the microcosm of mall life and all that entails.

This movie feels like that they couldn’t make up their minds whether they were going for a PG-13 or an R rating, then they decided to go G rated and it comes off a bit cheesy and campy. Maybe I am a bit jaded but this movie comes off like a G Rated Disney romp and NOT a true comedy with Adam Sandler as a Producer. No tits, bush, cursing or gun play. There were a few minor explostions but don’t worry Kevin James isn’t going to dethrone The Rock, Clive Owen or Bruce Willis as an acion hero.

Adam Sandler produced this however he didn’t put his pal, Rob Schneider, with his catch phrase, “You can do it.” But maybe he should have. They went camp and he should have called Rob up and stuck him in as a minor side kick. Paul Bart is cheesy but still funny. But Sandler, give me a bit more cowbell next time. OK?
