Tinfoil hat jokes aside, this is an awful film. Billed as a comedy, this film made me laugh maybe 3 times? The scene of Blart prancing around on his Segway was the peak of comedy for this film. The rest of the humor is below remedial. The characters and writing are embarrassingly one dimensional. Blart is a weak, cowardly, pathetic, obese, shell of a man. He gets beaten up by a middle aged woman in a women's underwear store. He is constantly embarrassed and emasculated. He isn't even the hero at the end of the film, as he gets bailed out by another cop. His character sees no progression or growth.
Was this film a humiliation ritual for Kevin James? Maybe.
I guess this could be a fun watch if you are braindead or you are looking for a relatively short feature length film that serves as a time capsule from the mid 2000's. We get to see Blart playing an arcade version of the Rockband video game and there is plenty of parkour to go around.
The most impactful thing that came from this film was "Paul Blart" became the universal insult for fat cops.
