Synopsis
A dedicated, single, working class father makes an honest but unglamorous living as a security officer at a mall in New Jersey. Although he takes the job seriously, he fails to gain the respect of his peers and co-workers. When a criminal scheme staged by the mall's Santa Claus helpers shuts down the mall, Paul Blart must devise a way to save the hostages, which include his daughter and the woman he loves.Yahoo! Movies: "Paul Blart Mall Cop"Paul Blart: Mall Cop Reviews
"The film is mostly a showcase for how to crash into things and people from different angles. No gay jokes, but the fat and ugly get thrown under the bus in ways unseen since About Schmidt, with Blart finally allowed trite redemption when the New Jersey mall he works at is robbed by an obnoxious group of tattooed thieves apparently on break from a Madonna tour."Slant Magazine: Paul Blart: Mall Cop(January 13, 2009)-
