Review of Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015) by Dann M — 18 Jul 2015
"Always bet on Blart!" Even worse than the original, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is a clichéd and formulaic screwball comedy that doesn't deliver any laughs. Starting with an immediately reversal of the happy ending from the last film by having his wife divorce him in the prolog (which is a horrible way to begin), Paul Blart is now a has been whose 15 minutes of fame has past; but he's forced to taken on a gang of thieves once again, while attending a security convention in Las Vegas, when his daughter is taken hostage.
The writing is incredibly awful; featuring cheesy character stereotypes and horrendous dialog. And Kevin James seems to be phoning in his performance, and doesn't have any charm. In fact, none of the performances are any good.
Also, the sketch comedy and slapstick comes off as extremely lame. Paul Bart: Mall Cop 2 is an atrocious film, and what happens in Vegas should stay in Vegas.
