Paul Blart: Mall Cop – DVD Review
Kevin James' varied CV has thus far featured a wealth of memorable creations. Bumbling fat-guy in King of Queens, bumbling fat-guy in Hitch and bumbling fat-guy in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry - there hasn't been such a startling auteur with this much range since John Candy. And like Candy (which James clearly does), Kevin manages to make what is an otherwise down on his luck cardboard cutout into a likeable chubby action hero - Paul Blart. This is silly fun, the kind that makes children laugh until they're rolling around dribbling, while leaving adults to exclaim 'meh'.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop Still Weekend Box Office Topper, Confusingly
The week of the Oscar nominations usually sees a huge box office boost for the nominated films, and that’s true this week. Because Paul Blart: Mall Cop is still the weekend box office number one, reflecting its position as the movie with the most amount of Oscar nominations in histo... oh, hang on. Paul Blart: Mall Cop didn’t get any Oscar nominations, did it? And yet it’s still way above every single nominated movie in the US weekend box office. Something tells us we’re going to see a poignant three-hour opus about Brad Pitt on a Segway next year.

Weekend Box Office: Blart! BLAART!
We should probably point out now that we haven't seen the movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop yet. But if "Blart! BLAART!" isn't a catchphrase in it, we'll be mighty ticked off. That's right, despite its woeful critical reception, Paul Blart: Mall Cop is the number one movie at this week's weekend box office. Incidentally, Slumdog Millionaire - the movie that did so gloriously at last week's Golden Globes - only managed to scrape to 10th place. So the message is perfectly clear - the feelgood movie of the year is literally a tenth as good as a film about a fat bloke falling off a Segway. We're thrilled.
