Paul Blart: Mall Cop has some laughs, but its plot is flimsy and lacking in any sustained comic momentum.

In places the plot sags a bit and some jokes don't quite hit their mark or tickle the funny bone as much as they're obviously meant to. May 6, 2011 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

James makes a funny, likeable doofus, and the expansion of his girth since his hit sitcom The King of Queens is used to great comic effect. March 20, 2009 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

James, who also co-wrote the script, is delightful as the well intended but frequently misguided Blart. September 19, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/4.0 | Full Review…

But it's not meant to be deep - it's intended as an easy-going laugh-fest and on that front it succeeds thanks exclusively to Kevin James's energetic performance. November 4, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Save for its dalliance with the everyman action movie, there's no surprises in Paul Blart: Mall Cop, another largely listless comedy from Sandler's Happy Madison production company. July 14, 2011 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

James is much better than a lot of his contemporaries at this, eschewing over-the-top clowning for actual humanity. But it all gets thrown out the window in the second half. Maybe he'll do better next time. April 25, 2011 | Rating: 5.5/10 | Full Review…

Neither good enough to to really cheer for nor bad enough to really care about trashing it, it exists in that room-temperature middle where nothing feels like it matters. April 4, 2011 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Doesn't offer anything new but it is an ample addition to the comedy genre, and after a mostly rip-roaring 91 minutes, you'll understand how the film did so well in America. April 15, 2010 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
