Well, I just saw it today. Mall Cop and it is funny as heck. It has everything a movie should have.
Humor, Action, a person to root for. I decided to look up Mike Valley's(Rudolph in the movie) Blog.
He was one of the minions in this hilarious movie. So I Quote personally from Mike Valleys Blog.
“Paul Blart: Mall Cop,” starring Kevin James and yours truly, opens in theatres everywhere tomorrow. Your mission as a reader of this blog is to go see it immediately and help to make it the No. 1 movie in
America
this weekend. Why? Because Kevin James really delivers as the bumbling yet endearing mall security officer Paul Blart in this his first solo lead role in a movie. And I too bring the heat with high-intensity skating and aggression in what my agent and my seven-year-old daughter are banking on as a breakout role for me -- fingers crossed.
The movie was filmed late last winter/early spring in
Boston
, where I basically lived on location for two months straight. It was hard being away from my family for that long, and being away from the Ducks especially during the playoffs, but that was what was required and really the opportunity to be in a Happy Madison film alongside Kevin James wasn’t something I was going to let slip by.
Being in
Boston
as a Ducks fan during the playoffs was strange – the worst part was I had no one to watch the games with. I found myself posted up solo in sports bars throughout the city night after night with my Ducks hat on getting
strange looks from people.
The early playoff exit last spring was painful to watch, especially at a distance, but was almost a relief in allowing me to concentrate entirely on the movie and the work to be done without thinking about watching the game all day. Don’t get me wrong, I would have preferred total playoff fever over that empty sinking feeling of watching my team go out in the first round, but I was occupied with making the movie and so all of my energy went into that.
My role in the film is as Rudolph, one of Santa’s helpers turned bad. On Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year, my fellow cohorts and I take over and shut down a shopping mall in an attempt to steal millions of dollars. The only thing standing between us and making off with a huge payday is… you guessed it: Kevin James as Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
Working on the movie was a lot of fun and presented me with several new challenges on my skateboard and off. One was actually acting. I’ve had very little experience as a thespian and this was easily the first real role I’ve had in a movie of significance. Second, although I’ve skated in plenty of movies previously, this was the first truly challenging skate work I’ve had to do in a film and the first time I felt that the skating I was doing was at a caliber that would really stand out on its own and get people’s attention. Third, the other stunt work my role required was also at a very above-pedestrian-level caliber, and since I’ve always wanted to be a stunt man since I was a little kid, this was work that I relished.
I attended the premiere of the film last Saturday in Westwood and I was more than pleased with the results. Kevin James really shines and he has created a character in Paul Blart that you really feel for and root for. The story moves along briskly and the action is high-energy all the way. I know everyone is guarding their pocket books a little closer these days, but trust me on this one, “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” is worth the dough and will be two hours at the movies that will entertain you and leave you feeling energized afterwards. It’s a feel-good action comedy and with Kevin James, you can’t go wrong."
Go Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
Go Ducks.

It's funny because that guy was completely bald, now if you look at him in this movie, he has really freakin long hair.
Anyways I was really exited to see it today, and the movie didn't disappoint. Kevin James is so funny, and is usually a big dork in most movies/shows. as the movie progresses you realize that the characters attitude changes in the middle of the movie, to somewhat of a darker mood.
If your ever looking for a movie that will lighten your mood and still keep you on somewhat of an edge,
You should go to the theaters and watch "Paul Blarts: Mall Cop"
