Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2

With the reviews here, I was expecting a terrible movie. I probably wouldn't have bothered with it but it was a free On Demand option recently. The worst thing about it was the lengthy setup, with plenty of exposition from the previous film followed by a lot of nothing before the actual story takes place. Once that began, I thought it had reasonably funny moments reminiscent of the original. I also appreciated that it had no memorable profanity that would have made it unsuitable for children, like so many "family" films these days. However, it was a one and done film; I don't see subjecting myself to repeat viewings.

Although the original "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" was a box office hit, I don't think anyone was exactly clamouring for a sequel. But here one is, and it's pretty much like the first movie, namely that it's a comic take on the formula the action movie "Die Hard" gave birth to. While there are a handful of gags that this adult did find to be (mildly) amusing, the humor for the most part is simple-minded and lame, with a number of gags recycled from the first movie. Kids (YOUNG kids) might find the humor to be funny, but I think other adults like myself will sit in silence like I did. Is there anything of merit to be found in the movie? Well, Kevin James does bring in an instant likability, like he did in the first movie. But he really needs someone else to write his material. And the movie looks great, with expert photography and lighting that makes the colors pop out of your television set. So if your kids insist on dragging you to see this movie with them, make sure you get the Blu-ray disc.

Like the first movie it got better in the second half of the movie.

Except this one was way harder to watch.

The funniest scenes are the most unessacary. Like the bird fight one

This movie was very boring at times but it was also sorta funny at times too.

This movie makes me appreciate the simplicity of the first movie

This movie was trying to be home alone two but ended up being home alone three These movies really do feel like home alone with a overweight cop

Also we get like no mall cop stuff until like an hour into the movie.

The soundtrack wasn't good because I don't remember a single song they had in the movie. If any.

They basicly ditched the entire cast of the first movie except for 2 characters

And the story isn't creative at all. They just go to Vegas for some speech and Paul's daughter gets aceepted to college.

Speaking of the college storyline i didn't really like it. Plus I feel like this movie would be exactly the same if they didn't add that plotline in

There's a lot more nit pics I have, but I don't want this video to be too long so we won't get into too much

Let's just say this movie was a pretty big downgrade from the first movie

But I will rate this movie a not so solid 5/10 really the only positive I had with this movie was it was pretty funny if not funnier than the first to me.

Overall it was just a very bland and boring sequel I do not recommend this movie at all. I hope there not making a mall cop 3 because they should have made a MALL COP 2.

Mall Cop 2 is directed by Andy Fickman and stars Kevin James, Raini Rodriguez, David Henrie and Neal Mcdonough. Basically, the plot is that after six years of keeping the malls safe, Paul Blart has earned a vacation to Vegas for a conference with other security guards. He heads to Vegas with his teenage daughter before she heads off to college. But safety never takes a holiday when a gang of people try to steal some paintings. I really enjoyed the first Mall Cop movie and it is one of my favourite comedies of recent years. The first one was directed by Steve Carr and you can really tell the change of director. This movie is set in Las Vegas and I really liked the fact that they changed the setting because it was more conducive to comedy and a much funnier place. Kevin James in the movie is as funny as the first one, I couldn't think of anyone else to play his role and he does it perfectly. He is really funny in the movie and is really dedicated to his role. A thing that the first movie was missing but that this one got right is that the sidekicks where actually funny and added a lot to the story. For instance, the other Mall Cops where as funny as Kevin James and that definitely added a lot to the movie. The first had no real sidekicks and though Kevin James was funny he could have needed the help of others to make it better. I really like this style of comedies and Mall Cop 2 did it very well. A lot of good jokes and memorable moments. My only issue was that the movie takes about 25 minutes to really get going. The first part of the movie is slow but does have a few good gags. But once it gets started it is great! This movie was as good as the first one because of a minor issue but the setting and story was better than the first movie and that's why I highly recommend checking this movie out. It is a perfect summer movie that isn't too long and that will make laugh everyone from all ages. Check it out and have a lot of fun!

This isn't a good movie. Maybe cute, but not good. It's not even funny.
