Il superpoliziotto del supermercato

Quel ''mall cop'' di kevin james

L'obeso Paul Blart(Kevin James), guardia depressa di un centro commerciale Americano, vive con la madre e la figlia e utilizza il suo lavoro per sentirsi un'agente di sicurezza onesto e dedito alla professione dal momento che risulta ipoglicemico e di conseguenza, non può fare ne il poliziotto ne il militare. Durante il giorno/boom dello shopping, nel centro commerciale irrompono dei giovani malviventi pronti a derubare tutti i negozi; compresi anche gli ostaggi.

Pugni & risate Bud Spencer all'americana

In America è stato il caso cinematografico dell'anno. «Il superpoliziotto del supermercato», che è costato 25 milioni di dollari e ne ha incassati 170, è diventato un po' l'emblema del cinema anti-blockbuster, in grado di sfidare i kolossal con una formula a base di budget ridotti, assenza di star e idea stravagante. La commedia diretta da Steve Carr punta a rinverdire la comicità demenziale con un occhio alla parodia del grande cinema d'azione e a James Bond e uno ai cazzotti e alle gag fracassoni in stile Bud Spencer. »

A Hapless Security Guard Runs Amok

Fat people are funny. Fat people who fall over are funnier. Fat people who fall over and have humiliating working-class jobs? Stop, you’re killing me! This would seem to be the entire guiding principle behind “Paul Blart: Mall Cop,” a tossed-off comedy from Adam Sandler’s production company that makes one long for the comparative genius of “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry.” In the title role, Kevin James plays a lovable New Jersey doofus whose dreams of joining the police are foiled by a hypoglycemic condition that causes him to pass out in ostensibly hilarious contexts. »

Kevin James takes pratfalls in this silly, gentle film

Paul Blart: Mall Cop" is as sticky and gooey as a Cinnabon cinnamon roll, a snack the movie's title character has no doubt sampled once or twice over the years during his shift. A high-concept mash-up of "Die Hard" and "Kung Fu Panda," "Blart" gives sitcom star Kevin James a showcase for broad-comedy pratfalls, providing him 87 minutes to plop, flop and crash into things, highlights of which have been playing nonstop on Nickelodeon for the last two weeks. The targeted tween audience will lap up James' antics, but for the rest of us, "Blart" is just empty calories. »

Shoot me now! It's bad enough that this laugh-free farce featuring Kevin James' bumbling Blart saving a mall from thieves on skates (what a concept!) has shot this hackjob comedy to box office nirvana (a 10-day total of $64.8 million). Now there are plans for a sequel. I guess Blart (blart/fart — very droll!) will continue to stuff his face, live with his mom (Shirley Knight) and daughter (Raini Rodriguez), and pine for sex until his next feat of heroism turns babes into chubby chasers. What a year at the movies this 2009 has been so far. »
