A single suburban father (Kevin James) works at a mall as a security guard to make ends meet, and he takes his job very seriously, even though most of his colleagues and customers don't. As the holidays approach, Paul gets his moment to shine when Santa's little helpers shut down the mall down and take hostages, including his daughter and girlfriend. He realizes no one knows the place better than he does, and he mounts his trusty steed, a Segway, and goes to the rescue.

Critics Consensus

Paul Blart: Mall Cop has some laughs, but its plot is flimsy and lacking in any sustained comic momentum.

Despite all the overused tropes, simplistic story and slap-stick. Paul Blart is an interesting character study and the perfect feel good movie.

When you know a movie called Paul Blart: Mall Cop you know that the story & writing are THAT weak & that the acting is THAT obnoxious & that the jokes are THAT lazy & that the action in this movie feels like it's parodying other films Die Hard & Steal, also cherry on top did i forget to mention that the product placement is not only bad it's Garfield: The Movie bad. For a film that earned a $26 million budget it's no wonder it's from the same company that gave us Click, Little Nicky, The Hot Chick, Eight Crazy Nights, Zookeeper, Grown Ups, Just Go With It & a bunch of others movies i don't even want to think about.

9.4/10 Paul Blart: Mall Cop is one of those movies I can watch over and over again without getting tired, thanks to Kevin James' excellent performance! I don't know why this movie received so much hate, it's a funny, mindless comedy! The plot may be absurd, but that's why I love this film! "Man on the red scooter! Please pull over!" All in all, Paul Blart: Mall Cop is a showcase of Kevin James' comedic nature and a funny, mindless comedy overall.

In places the plot sags a bit and some jokes don't quite hit their mark or tickle the funny bone as much as they're obviously meant to.

Gone With The Twins

Kevin James' blend of fat jokes and hilarious physical comedy deftly masks story shortcomings.

James, who also co-wrote the script, is delightful as the well intended but frequently misguided Blart.

Rated: 2.5/4.0

But it's not meant to be deep - it's intended as an easy-going laugh-fest and on that front it succeeds thanks exclusively to Kevin James's energetic performance.
