Review: “Paul Blart: Mall Cop”
Since we went to see Kevin James at the Brandenburg Gate, we feel the need to follow up on this. We were glad to hear that Kevin James made it out of Berlin alive. His press tour was a big hit and everyone loved him here.
We’ll leave it to Kevin James himself to tell you all about the movie. Also, there is some funny behind the scenes stuff we thought you might enjoy. This one is surprisingly funny, another light-hearted comedy from the folks at Happy Madison (no plot, no problem!). They make us, well, happy.
This is James’ first stand-alone starring role and he definitely stays in his comfort zone and does what he does best. He reminded me a little of John Candy. Like in his popular sit-com “The King of Queens”, this character is slightly cheesy, but good-hearted and very likeable. Obviously sporting a great sense of humor, however missing some stamina.
And speaking of sport, Kevin James did all of his own stunts. And there is some serious physical stuff in this. So, respect! James’ brother Gary Valentine (who also starred in “The King of Queens”) has a great cameo as a Karaoke Singer. Favorite quote: When are you gonna give up, Blart? – I’ll meet you on the corner of “NE” and “VER”!

It’s a rare thing, to read a movie review and know, for a fact, if you’re gonna like this movie or not. Movies have existed for over a century now, and with all the changes in techniques and styles, older movies have become irrelevant as a reference for the modern public. Movie critics have become overzealous of their knowledge in cinematic history and forgotten the fact that most people watch movies just to have a good time.
