I'm a newbie here and I apologize if I'm missing something obvious, but I'm looking for reviews for Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Yes, it's seems kinda dorky, but I'm curious what real paying customers think.

Thanks
Hank

We took our kids to see it and we all enjoyed it for what it was. Good clean stupid humor. A good family flick with some good laughs. it will be one to add to the dvd collection.

Re: Paul Blart: Mall Cop Reviews?

I wish someone would explain to me where the laughs were in this film. For something promoted as a comedy, and grossing nearly $150 million, I thought it was pretty much humor-free.

Thankfully it only cost me $1 at Redbox, but I'd prefer to have my dollar and my 90 minutes back.

Re: Paul Blart: Mall Cop Reviews?

Now granted, I was pretty drunk at the time. But when I caught this on DVD with some buddies we were all really pleasantly suprised. Imagine a lighter-toned, PG Die Hard in a mall, and you have this flick in a nut shell. I really dislike Kevin James generally, but I thought he was pretty solid here.
