Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015)

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Do you ever watch a movie and pause at one moment and just think to yourself: Why? Why am I watching this? That's how I felt when Paul Blart was lying on the casino floor licking ice cream off of it. Paul Blart: Mall Cop (the first movie) is a harmless comedy that's just a lot of slapstick and goofy humor. In this adventure, Paul Blart and his daughter Maya, now grown up, go to Las Vegas for a convention after his mother gets run over by a bus. Maya tries to get romantically involved with this dude, but Blart, being the overprotective father he is, disapproves. Meanwhile, this bland heterochromic villain attempts to steal Van Gogh's Sunflowers, which for some reason is at the Wynn. Oh, yeah, another thing that sucks about this movie is that it seems like an ad for the Wynn. The signage on the hotels, while present throughout Las Vegas, is seen often throughout this movie. While the Wynn is probably is an extravagant place to stay, we don't need that much product placement in this movie. Plus, if you're spending your money to see this movie, you're probably too young for Vegas anyway. Anyway, the villain's eye color is the most memorable thing about him. What was his name again? So, after that, it's nothing but generic slapstick humor and cliché plot points. Way too much of the humor depends on Blart's hypoglycemia, which is not particularly funny, especially after its been done before. There's also a scene where he gets his ass kicked by a goose. There's one where he falls down stairs in a suitcase, and also a lot of jokes involving the use of Blart's Segway. It's just forgettable, generic, and above all, not funny. But what do you really expect? It's a comedy sequel. The list of good comedy sequels is very short, and this certainly isn't on it.

Often, a sequel can fail to live up to the original, particularly when it was made later to cash in on the popularity of the first. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 lives up to all expectations, and is a must-see for anyone who has seen Paul Blart: Mall Cop, which in itself is a must-see film. This time, we see a different Paul Blart. He has lost many of those close to him, and his daughter is about to go off to university. On top of this, during the climax of this film, he is away from his home-turf and up against even tougher foes, a top-level gang of project criminals! The pacing is again excellent. We are introduced to all the key characters and locations towards the start of the film, while not left bored waiting for the action to begin. The themes of security and art present in this film are well-presented in the visual style, just as the theme of a shopping centre was constantly seen in the original. The plot itself is again solid, and refreshingly not simply the same plot as the original. We are also given a large selection of new gags, as well as a few cheeky homages to the original. As ever, Kevin James delivers a strong performance. In conclusion, 10/10. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 will have you stood up, chanting BLART BLART SHOPPING CART by the end. We can only hope the next one arrives before 2021!

One of the worst week for me as most of the of films I've seen were not up to any good. Okay, fine, the first part was decent. I thought a little refresher, somewhat funny too, so on such scenario, anticipating a sequel is common, but this is not what I wanted. After seeing this, I come to realise that the sequel was a bad idea. Seems funny, but no impact. In fact a little boring to see the same old comedy tricks again. Especially mocking a fat man is too offensive at the present era. So the hashtag on body shaming would go viral on social media.They did not get a decent story. Even the film characters, including the villains were too old fashioned. Even this film had made in the 90s, might have not received well too. The concept of going vacation-come-convention, we had seen this before, are not we! Yeah, Paul after his short marriage and losing mother, he and his daughter heads to Las Vegas. Being watchful father and meeting his old friends, the adventure begins, when some criminal activity is going on behind the conference. His plan to save his daughter, as well as thwart the crime are the remaining focus of the film.I felt for a character like Paul Blart, casting Raini Rodriguez as his daughter was a little too much intentional. Yeah, the film was full of television guys every corner. Its not just direction, or performance failed, it was the writing. This kind of comedies is now considered ancient, that's why Rowan Atkinson stopped doing his routine comedies. But now it's certain that there won't be a third. If you had seen the first and not sure about this, believe me, you won't miss anything. Instead, I would suggest you to re-watch the original. That ain't a masterpiece, though a much better one.3/10

This movie tried so hard to be funny like the first one. Had a really cheesy storyline. Paul Blart (Kevin James) the main character was too slim to fit his old chubby persona. Sloppy writing/bad jokes. Mistake in the movie at about 1 hr 10 mins (you can see the boomstick)My summary (OPINION) about the movie Paul Blart (Kevin James) was a really giddy happy funny character in the first movie, started off introducing his glaucoma and that he needed sugar every 5 mins or so, then in this movie it seems to have lessened? The glaucoma somehow got better (impossible) without medicine.And he isn't really a "Mall Cop" so to say in this movie.
