    Wasn't bad could of been funnier
  • November 16, 2009
    At first I thought this movie would be stupid. But then I thought it might be funny. Well it was somewhere in the middle, cute, but also forgettable. I thought that it was a lot like Home Alone in the mall (but a lot less funny, maybe like Home Alone 3, which I have unfortunately...( read more) seen).

    Actually my first theater outing of 2009 and a funny one at that. Kevin James is absolutely hilarious in this, it seems the part was made for him. See it!
  • February 2, 2010
    Don't even ask me why I saw this piece of trash. Everything I hate about bad movies, all in one movie!

    Kevin James saves the Mall, his actions took that trainee criminal by surprise

    Some parts were really stupid but overall it wasn't that bad.

I know this is January, the month where dreadful movies go to die, and I know we have to take what we can get. But this? Spring has rarely seemed so far away. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today

The last name Blart may be the funniest thing in the movie, so that's a hint as to just how bad this shopping-center saga can be. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

It's just not particularly funny. That Segway, alas, only goes so far. full review

Nick Schager, Cinematical

Paul Blart tepidly goes through its motions, but that doesn't mean you have to. full review

Kyle Smith, New York Post

Laughs occasionally ensue. full review

Pete Hammond, Hollywood.com

Avoid this mall cop and just go shopping instead. full review

January 15, 2009
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Paul Blart: Mall Cop is a slapstick comedy with a hero who is a nice guy. I thought that wasn't allowed anymore. full review
