- Quotes
[from trailer]
Paul Blart: [talking to himself] What are you trained to do? Nothing...
- Crazy creditsTwo additional scenes play during the closing credits.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, this film was originally shown to the BBFC in an unfinished version. The BBFC advised the distributor that the film was likely to receive a 12A classification but that the requested PG classification could be obtained by making changes to two scenes. In particular the BBFC suggested that a scene in which a man has the lid of a sun bed slammed onto him several times be reduced; and that an extended fight sequence also be reduced to remove some of the strongest blows. In this scene specifically, it was suggested that a blow to the face with a skateboard and dialogue which introduces and emphasises a headbutt be removed. When the finished version of the film was submitted these reductions had been made satisfactorily and the film was classified PG.
Featured review
Is it stupid? Yes. Is it unrealistic? Yes. What I wildly entertained? YES! While I can see the flaws in logic and absurdity in Paul Blart: Mall Cop, I also feel that the film has a lot of heart. I enjoyed the time that I spent watching Blart ride is Segway around the mall, fail at his social interactions and ultimately come out the hero in the end. It is not my favorite comedy of all time, but I think that it is pretty dang funny.
