Paul Blart: Mall Cop


Saw something on YouTube about embarrassing things young people write in college admission essays. A girl trying to get into film school said she developed a deep love of cinema after watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I'd never seen the movie. It didn't interest me, but there it was, free on Pluto. 

From Columbia Pictures. Adam Sandler's production company was behind it. Starts out as a Marty thing about a lonely mall security guard (Kevin James) living with his mother and daughter (Raini Rodriguez). 

Pretty well-made. Nothing wrong with it technically. It got terrible reviews but made a fortune at the box office. A young person seeing it and deciding to go into film made more sense than Steven Spielberg watching Lawrence of Arabia and thinking he could do better. 

I never understood what was funny about Segways.
