Leave your thoughts about Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
| MoviedexAnders WotzkeUnfunny, unoriginal and tedious - Mall Cop is successful only at living up to the standard set by past films that have begun with the words 'A Happy Madison Production'. |
| Film.comChristine ChampIn places the plot sags a bit and some jokes don't quite hit their mark or tickle the funny bone as much as they're obviously meant to. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanThanks to Kevin James' earnest portrayal of an earnest guy, I was won over by the film's goofy charms. |

| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...a genial, inoffensive little comedy that coasts on the charm of its "King of Queens" star James... |
| Entertainment WeeklyAdam MarkovitzHas a few surprises in store. The biggest is James, an unexpectedly nimble master of the face-plant, the failed jump, and the lopsided tumble. |
