Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
Fantastic!
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
View MoreIf you ever need ideas on finding unfunny jokes or cringy moments, just pick this movie.Oh, by the way, it also includes nonsense about how it's legal to harass people, stalk them, not do your job and somehow not get fired, and other things.Sorry but I couldn't get past half an hour. I couldn't get over the fact that an attractive woman was interested in a complete and utter loser. Dragons, aliens, sure, whatever, I can accept magic wizzards, but any fictional story has its limits. A 10/10 girl will never date a 1/10 manchild.
View MoreThis would have to be one of most un-comedic movies I've ever seen. Basically this is nothing more than an updated version of any Marx Bros movie, where you have a ridiculous premise full of equally ridiculous sight gags. Kevin James is Paul Blart, a shopping mall cop who rides a ridiculous Segway and who takes his job, or "shopper safety" as he calls it, a little too seriously. While his colleagues simply see it as a job where you punch in and punch out, (like all mall security guards do), Blart takes it up several notches to an area bordering on pointlessness where every random meaningless mall incident becomes a do or die mission. Naturally there's the usual ho-hum jokes-du-jour throughout; one where he pulls over an elderly man on one of those reprehensible mobility scooters for driving recklessly amongst shoppers. The man couldn't have cared less and drives off with Blart being dragged along the floor behind him. I'm not sure where the joke is, but it's supposed to be funny. Next he gets in a punch-up with 2 legged hippo in Victoria's Secret and she punches the stuffing out of him. If this were anywhere else but America I could see her probably getting away with it, but in a court-happy country like the U.S, I highly doubt it. Judge Judy would be all over it like flies on a turd. I don't remember too much after this as it was around this point that I started to really lose interest. I think there's some feeble attempt at a story when the mall is subject to a heist where they are after credit card codes or something, Paul Blart somehow manages to save the day, gets married and I'm counting the minutes of my life that have been lost forever. I was wondering when this was going to ever get funny and it simply never did. I get that comedy is subjective but normally you'd expect to find some semblance of comedy within a movie that's supposed to be funny, even if you as an individual don't happen to find everything funny. If you enjoy watching a bumbling fool getting himself into poorly scripted situations and unfunny situations, then you'll enjoy this. If you want to have a proper laugh, this movie is a waste of time.
View MoreWhen a shopping mall is taken over by a gang of organized crooks, it's up to a mild-mannered security guard to save the day. Paul Blart: Mall Cop is a film that it's clearly not for everyone it's humor it's not for everyone and Kevin James as an actor is not for everyone but to be honest i died laughing with this film Paul Blart is basically John McClain but he is much dumber and he is basically fat the film has a lot of adventure and action sequences if you can call them that it's for sure over the top but i was entertained a lot and that is what truly matters to me in the end. Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009) gets an A+ what can i say? I liked it!!
View MoreIt is not a good comedy or a good movie for adults. I thought it was pretty stupid at first and it is. But after some minutes i thought "what the heck i miss this type of movies", its an 90s style family comedy. And if you just don't take it seriously at all, its OK entertainment.The story is nothing new. Its the classic thing about an outcast that has been bullied all his life, will he become the hero and get the girl???? hmmmmmmm.The jokes is nothing new and very often is about fat stuff jokes etc, classic style. And the lines i general are nothing new. And its a late 90s acting style with stupid villains.Kids will laugh and most grown ups will kinda watch it without throwing up or being mad. And maby laugh sometimes. Its a feel good movie.Recommended if you are tired of watching disneychannel stuff with your kids. Or if you want light entertainment.
