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!

"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)
