Paul Blart: Mall Cop

Paul Blart: Mall Cop

Who's in it: Kevin James, Keir O'Donnell, Jayma Mays

What's it about: Hypoglycemia has always kept Paul Blart(James) from being in the police force. Until he can get over his illness, he works as a Mall Security Cop. He is chosen to train the new recruit to the security team, Veck(O'Donnell). Paul meets a new young woman, Amy(Mays), in the mall who sells hair extensions. After Veck puts his plan to take over the mall into play, it's up to Paul to save Amy and the other hostages. With the police and the SWAT team ready for action on the outside, Paul takes action on the inside against Veck and his thugs.

What I Think: This movie was absolutely hilarious. James just has everything that you need to be funny. His look, his voice, his personality, all is just hilarious! O'Donnell worked well with all of the other people involved and I loved his full confidence in his character. The stunts that were done during the movie were great. The mall setting really worked with the story. All of the stunts and characters just belonged there. I thought that the story lacked a little bit in connecting with James, but I think all in all it was a good movie.

Hitch

Hitch

Who's in it: Will Smith, Eva Mendes, Kevin James, Amber Valletta

What's it about: Hitch(Smith) is always helping the less fortunate men who can never get a woman to stay. He helps them dress, speak, and just act the way 'every' woman wants. But when Albert(James) wants to get together with the lovely and famous Allegra Cole(Valletta), he tries his hardest. He succeeds with major triumph and then he meets Sara(Mendes). Sara is a columnist. She and Hitch go on a few dates until she finds out that Hitch is the 'date doctor'. She rats him out to the whole city through the newspaper and chaos spreads.

What I Think: This movie was a great movie to watch. I enjoyed the hilarious sides of Smith and James. Mendes did an alright job, but I think that she could've put a little bit more into a Will Smith comedy. Even though the movie in itself is labeled as a romantic comedy, the movie wasn't just all fun and love games. There were some serious parts about it that make you think about life.
