'Paul Blart: Mall Cop' web reviews
Franck Tabouring
His name is Blart, Paul Blart, and he's struggling to protect his mall. In Steve Carr's latest comedy "Paul Blart: Mall Cop," Kevin James plays a good-hearted security guard who declares war on a bunch of crooks taking over his mall. Here is what the Web's critics say about the movie:
• CinemaBlend's Katey Rich: "Tasteless and slow and tonally uneven and all the other bad adjectives there are, 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop' is way too few ideas short of an actual feature, a couple of Segway jokes stretched to an hour and a half running time."
• Nick Schager at Cinematical: "Harmlessly humorless, Paul Blart tepidly goes through its motions, but that doesn't mean you have to."
• Kevin Carr at FilmSchoolRejects: "This movie is stupid, and not always in a bad way. It’s a typical January release, as it’s not going to win any awards and would have been crushed in the holiday box office."
• RopeOfSilicon's Brad Brevet: "This film washed right over me. I didn't laugh and I didn't cringe. I sat and stared at a movie screen knowing it had to end and once it did I would get up and leave."
