# Paul Blart: Mall Cop



"Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish" - _Mark Kermode, BBC Radio 5 Live_

Kevin James in the first of March 2009's two overweight-man-gets-job-as-security-guard-at-a-shopping-centre comedies, the other being [Revenge Of The Sexually Pathological Voyeur](Revenge_Of_The_Sexually_Pathological_Voyeur). Established itself as a real low watermark for that year (one in which [Bride Wars](Bride_Wars) had already happened) - see, for example, the review of [Dance Flick](Dance_Flick):

SIMON: Is it worse than Paul Blart: Mall Cop?
MARK: Paul Blart: Mall Cop is better.
SIMON: But you hated and loathed and detested that with a passion.
MARK: I did. But this is _so_ much worse.

Just to check, Mark took his son (who famously turned to him during [Transformers](Transformers) and said, "this isn't rubbish at all daddy") to see it. His son't one-word review was a pained, "daaaaad!"
