Tony Reviews Stuff-Movie-Paul Blart: Mall Cop

Sometimes people make parody movies that aren't just a collection of random pop culture references...and the wayans brothers. For those of you who didn't think Paul Blart was a parody, go watch die hard..go on....I'll wait...Didn't it blow your freakin mind!? the main character is an interesting choice since when we assume that bruce willis is a culmination of his movie characters we know that he is a near invincible gun expert who can kill an entire universe (provided that he doesn't have to drive or interact with anyone corporal since he was a ghost the entire time.) Doing the same to Kevin James reveals that he once pulled a thorn out of Adam Sandler's paw. (Note: I made this joke up mid movie anf got an extra chuckle during the credits when I learned that he produced the movie.) It takes alot of time to get to the action, but once it does, the resemblence to Die Hards is incredible, with comical exchanges (instead of being covered in blood, James gets stuck in a spray tan booth. and the guy who played Carl in Family matters is replaced by some italian guy.) While the twist wasn't taken from Die Hard, it was taken from Die Hard 2, so I'm counting it.
The plot revolves around Paul Blart (who would've guessed) a fat security guard with an amazing sense of duty/ When the mall is taken over by a terrorist like group seeking access codes. Blart is left alone and Segways his way to Justice! The movie itself isn't that funny unless you've seen Die Hard, but it's ok because you did during paragraph one (If you didn't, you cheated, and John Mclane is coming to kill you right now, and you won't be able to stop him, if Alan Rickman couldn't stop him, you don't stand a chance.)


This Messege Approved by Alan Rickman (I assume)
