Review of Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015) by Stephen P — 07 Jul 2015

Do you remember Paul Blart Mall Cop? That movie that made you laugh hysterically for an hour and a half? The one that after watching you thought "i need to have a sequel to this"? No? well neither did i, and six years on someone answered your request for a film you didn't want. This has to be one of the laziest attempts at a comedy sequel I have ever seen. The structure is extremely unoriginal, just following the exact same formula as the last film from start to finish. And the jokes were unbearably awful, every single one made me sigh and ask "really?" It looks like a five year old wrote the jokes in this film to entertain his 4 year old friends, and it just makes this whole film look stupid, as well as Kevin James. Do you remember the days when he was funny? No? well neither do i, he is like a parody of his character from the first film thrown into a similar situation and makes a fool of himself every 5 minutes. Not only was the plot terrible, I had no idea what the actual plot was until almost half way into the movie, yes there are bad guys from the start but I had no idea what they were doing until like 45 minutes into the movie, maybe because it wasn't clear enough or I just didn't care.

I must say I smirked like twice in the entire film, one of those times was seeing Kevin James get smashed into the side of a car, and so was the other time. I have to say there was nothing good about this movie, the comedy was atrocious, the plot was pointless and at times non-existent and the bad guys were stereotypical movie bad guys from the moment you see them. It also tries to shove some emotional crap down your throat the entire time and I actually bought some of that for like 5 minutes and then I remembered that I don't care. There were also a crap-load of secondary characters that all factor in through many side plots, most of which were there to fill the hour and 30 minute runtime.

So in the end, even Kevin James on a Segway could not save this pile of horse crap, do yourself a favour, and stay far away from this excuse of a comedy. - 1.7/10.
