Paul Blart : Mall Cop (2009) 7/10

Starring : Kevin James, Jayma Mays, Bobby Cannavale
Director : Steve Carr
Running Time : 91 mins

Shopping mall security guard Paul Blart (James) has never been given any respect in his position, so when a gang of thieves take over the mall he works in and plan on robbing every store, Blart takes a stand and uses the opportunity to prove his worth to himself and to the woman he loves (Mays).

Although this movie starts off incredibly slow, and with little or no humour to speak of, after about half an hour a plot emerges and the movie becomes actually quite engrossing. James does well as the overweight action hero of the piece, but falls a little flat at the start of the movie where the set up feels like a last minute tack on to brong up the run time.
