Who Is Seeing Paul Blart: Mall Cop?

Is it you???

Fess up!

The Kevin James flick was #1 at the box office once again. I mean, in fairness, this is a pretty easy week to be #1 at the box office — it had to beat out Underworld: Rise of Lycans and Hotel for Dogs — but still. Who is going to see this film?

  • Beet I thought I’d like to let you know the Jon and Kate plus 8 thread has an out of control 1,238 posts XD

    • Holy shit! I had to google it to find it. Since I obsessively must check this site daily, I never go back to far. How many people have that particular article bookmarked so they can argue?

    • And actually, there are TWO topics both of which have over 1200 comments.
      Search jon and kate in the side bar both come up.

  • Awww give Kevin James a break. He is a real sweet heart.
    At least he gets to have a little fun with this right now.

    • Well yeah he is kind of today’s Chris Farley but not anywhere as good. Actually, I did see the movie and laughed a lot, but then I like cheesy comedies.. Sure miss Chris though.

  • The fact that Paul Blart: Mall Cop has been #1 for two weeks in a row and has already grossed more than most of the excellent films released this year makes me wanna move away from America.

  • people in burlington massachusetts are seeing it. that’s where the mall is that they filmed it in. yet another wonderful thing brought to you by massachusetts.

    • ha, i actually went shopping at that mall during the time they were filming the movie. they had all the christmas decorations up and they changed the sign so it would say the movie mall’s name.

  • I confess … it is me. Me and my husband and 3 kids went yesterday. We were desperate! Desperate to kill time on a S…L…O…W… Sunday in January when we are TRAPPED LIKE RATS IN THIS SARDINE-CAN HOUSE!!! I took the first movie that was appropriate for a 5 yr old that wouldn’t make me pierce my eyeball with a red hot skewer. I do love Kevin James. My husband and I DID laugh … mostly at the soundtrack!!! Early 80s music! It was, probably, one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen! But, better than being home with stir-crazy kids.

  • ME! I haven’t seen it yet but I’m pretty excited, looks like the best thing out right now. And it’s the highest grossing movie! You snooty snoot snoots who aren’t watching may just be in the minority. You’d rather watch an old white man enlighten some poor Asians?

    • ^^^^^ OMG, Hooray for calling out the snooty fucks that thing they are above some quality low brow humor. HOORAY FOR PHYSICAL COMEDY AND FART JOKES!

  • MEEEEEEE!!!! I really want to see it (haven’t yet) because it was FILMED IN MY MALL. As I have said before…but yes. That would the be one and only reason I am going to see it.

  • Apparently, it’s twelve-year-olds with the mentality of slow five-year-olds.
    Or so was the case with my brother, anyways.

    My Mother (who drew the short straw, and so was tuck taking him), said that it was primarily mothers with far, far too many unruly, bratty children with huge boxes of nachos and hotdogs and buckets of pop.
    So it sounds to me like they just wanted the kids to shut up for a couple hours, giggle it out on the movie, and then crash at home. Dying a little inside during the movie was an even trade-off.

  • I don’t think that many people are actually seeing it. I think a lot of underage teens are buying tickets to that so they can sneak into Notorious. My younger sister and all of her friends did this last week and my younger cousins have also mentioned using this strategy to get passed the R rating. Heck, back when I was underage, I used to do the same thing. Buy a ticket to some G or PG rated movie and then just stroll into the R rated movie like you were supposed to be there the entire time.

    • Good call. That’s how I saw Purple Rain. I bought a ticket for some shitty Kristy McNichol movie but snuck into Purple Rain. Good God, I just dated myself.

  • Aww Hell…I will admit it. My two sons (10 and 6) begged me to go see it and there was honestly nothing better to do. My kids laughed hysterically and I…didn’t! The matinee was completely full with approximately 30 of us old farts and 300 ruthless children. If nothing else the release date on this one was pure genius!

  • My friend dragged me to see it… there were some cute/silly parts but it was nooot worth the $7 ($17.50 after a small coke and small popcorn, holy cow) that I paid.

  • We had a party of 7 that went to see it Saturday.. My boys thought it was fabulous and my poor husband saw lots of himself in Kevin James.. I like Kevin James so I wasnt disappointed at all. Its all in your expectations people! ;)

  • the younger girls on my basketball team made me see it! i wanted to see bride wars but i was outnumbered :(

  • I Love Kevin James but I’d really wish he’d given a part to Jerry Stiller. I miss him so much as Arthur in King of Queens. Thank God for reruns.
