Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2

Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is a 2015 American action comedy film directed by Andy Fickman and written by Kevin James and Nick Bakay. It is the sequel to 2009's Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

Synopsis
Taking place six years after the first film, Paul Blart is invited to a security officers' convention in Las Vegas.

Why Its Not A High Roller

 * 1) Very weak plot.
 * 2) Horrible acting, especially from Kevin James, Rani Rodriguez and Neal McDonough.
 * 3) Tiresome supporting characters.
 * 4) Unfunny and weak humor; compared to the original film which had some good moments of sarcastic humor.
 * 5) Forgettable and unoriginal moments.
 * 6) Atrocious puppetry for the bird, which looks absolutely fake and unrealistic.
 * 7) Completely destroys all of Paul Blart's hard-earned happiness from the ending of the original film.
 * 8) Shameless product placements (eg. Wynn Las Vegas Hotel).
 * 9) Boring and pointless slapstick.
 * 10) Lame action scenes that many films have done better.
 * 11) Some horrendous dialogue.
 * 12) The film was stuck in development hell for 6 years.
 * 13) No jokes or comedy at all, compared to WIS #4.
 * 14) Surprisingly bad ending; especially compared to the original film.
 * 15) It ultimately killed the Paul Blart: Mall Cop film franchise.
 * 16) Misleading title: Despite being called Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, the first half of the film focuses more on the Wynn Las Vegas Hotel rather than the mall, which is pretty surprising considering that the first film focused on the mall.
 * 17) Weak directing skill of Andy Fickman, the same director behind Playing With Fire.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) There's an exciting climax in which Paul Blart stops being a moron and takes down the bad guys, just like in the original.
 * 2) Good soundtrack.
 * 3) The scene with Mini Kiss on the elevator is pretty funny.
 * 4) Voice actor Brock Baker helped people rediscover the Paul Blart sequel due to his liking of it.

Trivia

 * The film rejected a theatrical release in Russia, but was released direct-to-video in said country.
 * A producer confirmed that a character called "The Shadowman" was going to appear in the film. The Shadowman was going to be a god-like being who put Paul Blart through his trials. After a great amount of discussion, it was decided the filmmakers remove The Shadowman, seeing that the studio wanted to keep the film grounded in reality.
