review

This comedy stars the overweight but graceful Kevin James as a security guard at a mall who must save a group of hostages from a gang that's taken over the plaza. It's vulgar and obvious, but James has a kind of charming grace The movie has a certain juvenile and predictable quality to it that makes it an unforgettable unlike the other stupid comedies of our decade. People would be won over by the film's goofy charms such as Kevin James who plays the lead role of Paul Blart. James makes a funny likable doofus who is very proud of his job and almost OCD about it even though he is just a security guard or like he says a security "officer." Directed by Steven Carr, a Man who knows how to put a camera in front of things puts certain consistent hilarious touch into it. James character falls in love with a hair extensions saleswomen by the name of Amy played by Jayma Mays. The chemistry between the two although awkward to begin with turns into a loving chemistry between two opposite kinds of people. James and Mays have engaging chemistry and create a handful of moments to spark laughter from the crowd. although this movie is in co production with Adam Sandlers movies such as Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore, pointless and unmindful movies if you will. Mall cop has a spark to it that not only glamorous people can do great things that it takes underdogs such as Paul Blart to make great things happen.
