It has lots of good laughs it not inappropriate for young kids its just a great movie to watch with a group. Anytime this movie is on cable I can watch it. I must have seen it at least 5 times and that doesn't bother me in the least. Kevin James just seems to put out movies that are clean and funny. I hear that there is a sequel in the works and I bet it'll be funny too. Expand

Personally, I kind of actually liked the movie. At some parts of the movie, it was really funny, although, at others, it was kind of corny. I like the sense of humor but I feel like it should have ended much better.

This action comedy is awesome, entertaining, and funny throughout. An unexpected story and a great performance by Kevin James make this an enjoyable comedy.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Humorous movie filled with heavy themes and teaches our nations children the values of persistence, friendship, and honesty. Paul is loyal and will do anything to help his friends. The triple plot twist involving the 5 main antagonists is enticing. We can all relate to Paul's journey in realizing he doesnt need to help people if he could theoretical help people if a similar unrealistic set of circumstances happens to his friends whom most of which dont like him.

Has a few surprises in store. The biggest is James, an unexpectedly nimble master of the face-plant, the failed jump, and the lopsided tumble.

I just saw this with my 6 yo grandson we both had a blast. A little slow at first but a real fun time towards the end, little violence and swearing made it even better.

A good film that has you rooting for the unlucky "hero" from the start and is very funny when the Die Hard style part of the film kicks in.

Had it been slightly longer, it would've been the perfect comedy movie. No sex. No adult material. A comedy I can actually feel comfortable watching with my family.

Paul Blart is a pretty funny movie with some flat jokes. Kids will probably enjoy this but adults should probably watch movies like The Heat or Grand Budapest Hotel instead.

It makes the most out of a simple premise with some funny slapstick and a likeable performance from Kevin James. There are a few groaners in the script, but also quite a few laughs. Bottom line: If you can't stand fat jokes, then this isn't for you. But if you like a good, dumb slapstick comedy, then Paul Blart: Mall Cop is worth a look. 7/10. Expand

I became a “Die Hard” fan moments into the film, even looking up Paul Blart merchandise to purchase later since I am a newly enthusiastic and proud Paul Blart fan. I relate to Blart’s hypoglycemia and enjoy the use of humor to lightheartedly cope with the condition. Many people will relate to the themes in the film such as lonliness, doubt, insecurities, and overcoming adversity. This film will bring joy to all people just like it has brought joy to me. It has had a positive impact in my life. Some critics may be negative by calling the film kitschy and insignificant, but it is really a projection of their personal failures and lack of redemption arc in their own lives. I hope you all enjoy this film and it changes your lives as well. Expand
