Critics' reviews

"It's as slam-bang preposterous as any R-rated comedy you can name. It's just that Paul Blart and the film's other characters don't feel the need to use the f-word as the building block of every sentence. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Even though it was co-produced by Adam Sandler, it never sinks to scatological humor. That's pretty much where the accolades end for this mediocre."

Jen Chaney: The Washington Post
"The last name Blart may be the funniest thing in the movie, so that's a hint as to just how bad this shopping-center saga can be (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"Directed by Steve Carr, a man who knows how to put a camera in front of things, if little else, and written, sort of, by Nick Bakay and Mr. James"

Nathan Lee: The New York Times
"An almost shockingly amateurish one-note-joke comedy on which the star also shares writing and producing credit"

Brian Lowry: Variety
Two Weeks #1 in the Box Office USA. Domestic Total Gross: + $146 million.
