Paul Blart: Mall Cop

I have never seen a single episode of The King of Queens but it was a hit for many years on CBS. I became a Kevin James fan by watching his performance in the movie Hitch. He had me in tears from laughter. In his role as Albert Brennaman he was a great 2nd banana to Will Smith. He also worked well with Adam Sandler in I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry.
In Paul Blart: Mall Cop James tires it alone and the results are disastrous. The story is weak and so are the bad guys who James goes up against in the mall. Keir O’Donnell is the main antagonist who you will remember as the family geek in Wedding Crashers.
Mall Cop could be James's movie franchise based on the applause I heard when the movie ended from the very young audience.

Verdict: For kids and diehard fans ONLY.
I pray that Kevin James finds better material and passes on Mall Cop 2.
