Preview: Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)

Synopsis:

Fired from his previous job, Kevin James takes on a new profession as the bumbling Segway-riding rent-a-cop in a mall where robbers are trying to make off with serious rewards.

• Poster: C; D

Review:

The one redeeming quality is the escalator in the center of the badge. The rest is fairly lackluster.

At least there was some measure of detail in the firs poster. This second one is entirely uninspiring. It won't draw viewers to the film, except maybe fans of Kevin James.

• Trailer: D

Review:

From popular television show to blink-and-you-miss-it film comedies. I can't see any reason why this film would be successful from this rather lame trailer.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• January 16, 2009
