Paul Blart Mall Cop

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on May 30th, 2009

Exhausted from our 20+travel ordeal over a good portion of the last two days, we decided to veg out and watch a rental. In this case, “Paul Blart Mall Cop,” starring Kevin James.

We vowed back in January that we would one day rent the flick. We did.

It was well done. It wasn’t “Citizen Kane,” but then again, some folks aren’t all that convinced that “Citizen Kane” was “Citizen Kane.” To put it another way, it was a ridiculous, fluffy movie that entertained and was worth a buck.

As the Female Half says, “It had plausible implausibility.” It was goofy, but at least it wasn’t stupid. And some folks delivered great performances– Keir O’Donnell, Jayma Mays, Raini Rodriguez, Maya Blart, Shirley Knight, Stephen Rannazzisi, Peter Gerety, Bobby Cannavale.

And it was packed with cameos by standup comics– Jim Meyers, Richie Minervini, Jackie Flynn, Adam Ferrara (actualy a rather beefy role as the head cop) and a most bizarre performance by Gary Valentine. We won’t tell you which one he was, we’ll let you figure it out.
