While I’m on a movie kick, I want to take this opportunity to warn the masses about Paul Bart: Mall Cop. I was not a fan of this comedy, and I’m not sure why others are.
Apparently, this movie is doing really well at the box office. It was the top money grossing film two weeks in a row, and it only slipped to second place in its third week. In total, this movie has grossed $83.2 million even though it only cost $26 million to produce.
I am confused by the movie’s success. The first half an hour of the movie just makes fun of Paul Blart (played by Kevin James) for being overweight, hypoglycemic and lonely. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t find it funny that someone has to stop every 20 minutes to take a shot of sugar. That’s no way to live if you ask me.
Then there’s an extremely awkward bar scene. I think this part was supposed to incite hysterical laughter, but all I did was cringe. Since I am an awkward person at times, it was not fun to watch one of my greatest fears being played out on the big screen.
After the sadness and awkwardness, there is some comedy in this movie. I did laugh a few times towards the end, but the last half of the movie wasn’t good enough to save the first.
Before attending this movie, I advise you to read some reviews. Then, save some money and rent this movie. I can’t say my experience was worth the $8 I had to shell out.
