Paul Blart: Mall Cop, a review by Dragonfire

Yes I went to see Paul Blart: Mall Cop.  I wasn't exactly sure what to think when I saw the previews, though I did think it might be funny..in a silly way.  I did end up enjoying the movie overall once I saw it, though it does have problems.

Paul Blart has been a security guard at the local mall for years.  He dreams of joining the New Jersey State Police, but his hypoglycemia keeps him from being able to do that.  He lives with his teenage daughter and mother who want him to start dating again.  Paul has a crush on Amy, a woman working in the mall.  Close to closing time on Black Friday, a group of armed criminals take over the mall while Paul is distracted in the arcade.  It doesn't take long for Paul to realize what is going on and to discover that Amy is one of the hostages.  Paul decides that he is going to deal with the situation himself even though the local police and the SWAT team just want him to get out of the mall.

The plot for the movie is simple and very straightforward and there are very few surprises, making the movie rather predictable overall.  The few surprises do help to keep things interesting.  Paul's situation seemed believable even though it was a bit exaggerated at times.  The movie was pretty funny overall, though it relies on silly, slapstick type of humor, which doesn't appeal to everyone.  Most of the physical humor involved Paul in some way.  The humor did work for the movie overall.  There is little bit of mystery with what is going on, though it isn't that strong.  There is a little bit of mild violence in a few scenes.  Paul is a decent main character.  None of the others were as interesting.

Overall, this is a fun, entertaining silly comedy that is worth seeing for people who like this type of movie.  It isn't for everyone though.

 

I did get a review posted on Epinions if anyone wants to take a look.

Last night we all got together over here and watched their copy of Iron Man 3. This is the first time I got to see this one... and like the others I enjoyed it very much. Great film... lots of fun to watch. However... I will say this third one is definitely my least favorite of the three. I just didn't care much for a couple of directions the story took. Still well worth the time put in to watch it... a must see if you are a fan of the first 2 films.

When an injury forces baseball star Tony Micelli out of the major leagues, he finds himself penniless an without any job prospects. Swallowing his pride, Tony, along with daughter Samantha, become a live-in housekeeper for Angela Bower, a busy ad executive who has little time to look after her home or her young son, Jonathan. Now, Tony's got a full-time job and Angela's household is back in order. Only one question remains: Who's The Boss?


Who's the Boss?
Season 1.01 Pilot
Writer: Martin Cohan (Writer), Blake Hunter (Writer)
Director: Bill Persky
Cast: Tony Danza (Tony Micelli), Judith Light (Angela Bower), Alyssa Milano (Samantha Micelli), Danny Pintauro (Jonathan Bower), Katherine Helmond (Mona Robinson), Dennis Holahan (Grant Paxton), Rhoda Gemignani (Mrs. Rossini)

This is a series I watched in the 90s, mainly because there was nothing else on at the time it was aired. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't say it is a must-see. I really found Alyssa Milano attractive towards the end of the series and she was the main reason I stayed with the series.
The pilot is a good introduction to the series.
