Film Review
Production
The movie is not terrible, but not great either. You will laugh at times, some brought on by the actual comedy and others for its failure. It does try to up the "cool" factor by having the bad guys lovers of extreme sports; everyone grab your BMX bike and skateboard and lets take over the mall. It just does not achieve the laugh out loud comedy you may desire, leaving it merely a movie you will not hate, but one you will more than likely never want to watch again.
Comedy Factor
What is funny about this movie? The physical comedy. The majority of the film relies on the physical comedy and the action sequences to make it entertaining. There are few, if really any, funny jokes or lines. The real humor comes from the escapades of Paul Blart (Kevin James), as he attempts to take down the thieves who have invaded
Score/Soundtrack
The film is full of fun and uplifting songs. If you have a penchant for 80s music it will not fail to please as they are mixed throughout.
