Knee-Jerk Review: "Paul Blart: Mall Cop"

Paul Blart shouldn't be as funny as it is but it somehow works on a stupid-yet-fun level. I didn't expect many laughs but was surprised at how many times I chuckled. Besides one scene in which Blart gets hammered there was little to no objectional content. It's refreshing to see a movie that doesn't add unnecessarry language or graphic sexual scenes and is really good for the whole family. Kevin James does well using what he has, meaning getting laughs from his stature and ability for physical comedy. I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed this movie as much as I did.

-Rating: 6 out of 10
