Wonderful character development!

A Disappointing Continuation

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Kevin James revives his role as the over confident and delusional Paul Blart, the "strange misshapen super hero" mall cop from New Jersey. The first few minutes of this film cleanses the events at the end of the last film. Blart goes to Las Vegas for a Mall Cop convention, something a joke within itself as was his speech glorifying the position as life's aspiration. Nothing like making fun of the blue collar service sector.In Vegas, there is a subplot of art thieves (Neal McDonough) and Blart being put down by hotel security. There is a display of high tech low impact weapons that are also part of the demeaning of the profession. It isn't hard to figure out the outcome even at the age of five. When Blart's daughter (Raini Rodriguez) is kidnapped, Blart doesn't exactly go into Liam Neeson mode, but something closer to a combination of Inspector Clouseau and Jerome Lester Horwitz.If you have grown tired of hearing "Best Day of My Life" like 80's folk tired of "Betty Davis Eyes" you have been warned about the over used sound track.Guide: kid safe. A PG closer to G than PG-13

The main joke of everything in this movie may be described in the following short list. Kevin James is fat, Kevin James is lonely, Kevin James is out of touch, or any combinations of those atrocities. Here's the main problem, Adam "lucifer" Sandler's company, Happy Madison has tried to turn Kevin James into a poor man that is looked down upon by others. This has been his plan all along, because Kevin James is supposed to be the next messiah. If we keep letting Mr. Sandler destroy Kevin James' image we will have no messiah to lead us in our war efforts Against the next plan to destroy the world by Satan. So don't be fooled, Kevin James is a holy man and Adam Sandler is trying to convert us to in to followers of Satan.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is the sequel to the highly successful film released in 2009. It is well obvious that the main reason as to why this film was given a sequel was due to the success of the original film. Many wonder as to why it took as long as it did (6 years). Had this film came out roughly 2 or 3 years after the original, perhaps this sequel would have generated more input and been more successful. Within the film, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is a relatively simple plot and storyline. This time instead of Paul Blart being a security guard on duty for his local mall, he has been invited to Las Vegas, and plays officer in one of their wonderful hotels, with mainly the running around occurring in their casino. For starters, this film lacks the depth and genuine comedy of the original (although the original was not great or too funny, it had several laughs). This sequel is quite dull and time pasts quite quickly with predictable and reused jokes. The jokes are the same rehash of "fay guy jokes" with Kevin James making a fool of himself, seen falling down, hiding behind objects, and a scene where he fights with a large CGI bird. Neal McDonough is the typical villain and he plays his role well, as it is something he has done throughout his career.Overall, this sequel was not needed, though it still made over $107 million worldwide (more than it's budget back) but did not make as much as the original (which was obvious). A positive about the film is the scenery of the hotel and the overall landscape. Certainly just a one time watch, if even at that.

I know I am really late on reviewing this title but I just made an account on IMDb and HAD to review this movie. When this movie was coming out I had and I mean HAD to see this and I will be honest with you I had high expectations for this movie and at first it seemed like the movie let me down and then all of the sudden I just couldn't stop laughing. Perfect casting, perfect acting, and perfect plot. The first movie got put to shame after this movie came out, the first movie was a lot duller (but that's for another review) I am hoping they make a third movie out of this and make it more funny than this, if that's even possible. All in all if somehow you haven't seen this movie yet I HIGHLY suggest renting/buying it RIGHT NOW!
