When a shopping mall is taken over by a gang of organized crooks, it is up to a mild-mannered security guard (Kevin James) to save the day.
Kevin James is a funny guy, and I like his Paul Blart character. I like how he moves, how he acts, how he uses his body not just for fat jokes (and there are many) but as a bombastic prop. He flies over fences, breaks through glass, and allegedly James did all his own stunts.
Some jokes were good, some average, but the main issue I had was the creepy age difference between Blart and his crush. She's roughly thirty, while he is in his mid-fifties. That may work for George Clooney, but it defies believability to think a middle-aged, overweight security guard has a chance with a reasonable attractive young woman. And it is a little bit gross.
