This movie, with no sexual content or profanity, doesn’t even stretch the PG category-also amazing considering Sandler’s best comic buddy Kevin James is the star. Most Sandler epics push the PG-13 envelope to the limit. What’s unusual about the pair of Paul Blart films, compared to their edgier Happy Madison cousins, is the PG rating. This film comes from Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions, a pop culture factory that cranks out title after title that I have not cared to see. And that’s when my change of perspective occurred. Fifteen minutes in, I was ready to hop on board the hate-train, until I realized that my theater was full of young people laughing, while I was smugly enduring. The writing isn’t sharp, most of the performances range from mediocre to uninspiring, and the plot is contrived with a conclusion that offers no surprise. Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 epitomizes what virtually every critic loves to hate. I knew the moment I left the screening of this film that my review would be an outlier within the realm of sophisticated critical assessment.
