Amy, his girlfriend from the first film (played by a most intelligent Jayma Mays - in that she is not in this one) divorces him six days after their nuptials and his mother (Academy Award nominee Shirley Knight) is hit by a milk truck - and this is the highlight of the comedy here, friends.īut every dark cloud has a silver lining and on the same day his daughter, Maya (Raini Rodriguez), is accepted into UCLA, an even less important subplot is revealed: Paul is invited to the Security Officers Convention in Las Vegas where he is led to believe he is giving the keynote speech.
Now, six years later (and possibly 50 pounds added to the title character played by Kevin James, numerous and forgettable comedies like “ Grown Ups” and “ I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry”), the lovable loser Blart has gone through a series of cataclysmic setbacks in his life. The original was a mediocre comedy at best and at worst was the indirect inspiration for one the most horrendous films of the decade, “ Observe and Report.” The question wasn’t why it took so long to make Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, the unanticipated sequel to 2009’s “ Paul Blart: Mall Cop,” as much as why waste the time, money and effort to make one at all.
