Maya, who is a "tween-ager" is mostly sweet. There's lots of physical comedy as well as playing off cultural and physical stereotypes, but I didn't find any of it malicious. In fact, most of the actors are B-listers, whose faces you recognize but can't-quite-place. This movie is a "Happy Madison" film, which is Adam Sandler's production company. He has a chance to leave, but doesn't take it when he realizes Amy is one of the hostages.īut he's overweight, hypoglycemic, doesn't have a gun, and has no training. So he ends up being the only one on "the inside" for the police department and SWAT team. Everyone else evacuates-except Paul, who was playing video games in the arcade and misses the excitement. She heads off to the bank and is taken hostage there as part of the mall takeover. The next day, he apologizes, but Amy isn't sure what to make of him. She invites him to join the gang for an after-work get-together where Paul inadvertently gets drunk and makes a fool of himself. Amy (Jayma Mayes) smiles back at him and Paul is smitten. Paul uses this opportunity to impart some of his philosophy about protecting the mall to Veck.Ī new saleswoman for one of the kiosks catches Paul's eye. Paul is assigned to orient the new guy, Veck Sims (Keir O'Donnell) and teach him the ropes. He takes his job very seriously, which his co-workers don't understand. The next day, Paul takes his Segway to his job as a mall cop in New Jersey. Mom and Maya help Paul fill out the application. Paul's first wife-Maya's mom-used Paul to get a green card, then split, leaving Maya behind. Maya reminds Paul that he made a promise: if he was still single by November, he would sign up for an online dating service. It's clear that food is the way Mom shows her unconditional love to her family.
He discusses this with his family over the dinner his Mom (Shirley Knight) has prepared for Paul and his daughter, Maya (Raini Rodriguez). Paul has hypoglycemia, which causes him to fall asleep if he doesn't get enough sugar.
But he climbs, crawls, jumps, and runs the course until he collapses-six inches from the finish line. Paul Blart (Kevin James) is shorter-and considerably heavier-than the rest of the gang.
