Paul Blart: Mall Cop (no spoilers)



Paul Blart is a single father living with his mum and daughter after his wife left him a while ago. Hes a lonely man who believes he is happy with his life as a mall cop but his mum and daughter know that hes not and try to hook him up. But he has his eyes on this new girl who opened a store in the mall but kinda messed it up when he got drunk and freaked out the girl.

So hes been a mall cop for ages and he rides around in this scooter kind of thing:



its pretti awesum cuz he can move like all directions on it and he can even go backwards without looking back cuz hes so pro on it. he doesnt have a car so he uses that as his vehicle to go from home to work.

okay so its black friday and this group of bad people come in and plan to rob the mall so everyone is evacuated out of the mall except of course paul blart because of coincidental circumstances. Paul blart is in contact with the police force who tell him to get out but (once again of course) he stays for his own reasons. After that, he does crazy stuff and becomes the hero of the day, surprise surprise.

This movie is totalli predictable. every second you kinda have an idea of wats gonna happen next. but thats totalli overlooked because of its great humour.
So the plot is predictable, and the characters kinda are too. most of the humour is slapstick and comes from paul blart, the chubby unlikely hero who needs sugar every once in a while (note: not wants, needs.) Then theres your damsel in distress which the hero falls for. Then the other guy who also is in love with that girl and looks like the bad guy but then his true colours come out at the end. Theres bad guys who do crazy stunts all over the mall, jumping and flipping and maybe skating over just about anywhere (i liked these guys, they looked cool). And last but definitely not least, theres a random curry guy that onli makes 3 appearances so hes not a main character, but definitely memorable.

To me, and alot of other people, this movie was awesum fun. Forget about the predictable plotline and character roles, it was hilarious! I laughed every second of this movie, even when Paul Blart was crying, cuz he looked so funni i couldnt hold my laughter (everyone else was silent, i think me and will were the onli ones that laughed?) Its great, i think its onli PG because of the mild violence and one other scene which was the most disturbing i must say involving a chubby lady and part of her bra. that was about the only thing that could have made it PG because it has no swearing or sexual references while still keeping it hilarious.

Go watch it

note: the first picture doesn't give him any justice, he looks like a loser (probably before his heroic acts). then after, when he becomes a hero, lighting and camera angles change giving you:
