greatest film in the history of cinema 10/10 Author: Ty Yarborough 22 April 2015 *** This review may contain spoilers ***

Hero. A word that embodies a person of strength, high moral value, extreme fortitude when it's comes to times of adversity, and the willingness to put oneself above others. Paul Blart (Kevin James) is none of these things. On the surface, it's easy to see that these traits don't personify a man such as Paul Blart but it's beneath the surface that we find what Paul Blart and this film are truly made of; a warrior spirit, determination, a lot of laughs and probably a few stuffed crust pizzas ;). The film opens in a time of tragedy in Paul's life. After his marriage of 6 days ends in an ugly divorce and his mom is run over by a murderous milk truck driver, a treacherous void is left in Blarts life. it seems as if things couldn't get any worse. until one day 2 sealed envelopes enter the Blart family's life that would change the course of their destinies forever. To his surprise Paul is welcomed to an all expenses paid Security Officers honors convention in none other than Sin City. That's right. Las Vegas, baby! his daughter is given an acceptance letter to UCLA although she decides the timing isn't right to reveal this to her bereaved father in his time of grief. With much excitement the Blarts are whisked away to Vegas to start their vacation. At the hotel PB and company convene with security associates from across the nation who all have heard of Blarts exploits but fail to hold him in high regard despite Paul's accomplishments. once again we see Paul being underestimated and openly mocked for his incompetence by those around him even though he shows enormous passion for his work. We are introduced by a spicy Latina love interest in the hotels manager who feigns no interest in Paul but beneath the surface a small fire burns in her chest for the mysterious anomaly that is Paul Blart. Ah, but what is a hero without a villain? an eccentric millionaire who frequents the hotel has set up a plot to steal various art pieces from the hotel and sell them for profit. It's not long before Paul catches on to this horrific ploy due to his daughter Maya accidentally seeing some rather unruly dealings of these delinquents and being captured. Not only must Paul stop this corrupt crook but also save his beloved and only remaining support system. His daughter. Paul Blart may seem like an incompetent, overweight, buffoon of a security guard, but he has something that is hard to find. Heart Determination and Loyalty to those he loves. to me, the story of the sequel to mall cop is one of the Underdog. a story that often times goes unnoticed and swept under the rug. This film shows us that you don't have to the smartest, fastest, strongest or even the bravest to be a hero. you just have to have the will and determination to do the right thing. With an A+ cast, hilarious dialogue and James' mastery of physical comedy i HIGHLY recommend this film to anyone searching for a little bit of hope, and a lot of laughs along the way.
