Synopsis: Paul Bart (Carr) always fails the police exam because of his hypoglycemia. Instead, he takes very seriously his job as security head at the mall.
Review: We were looking for a comedy out of the ordinary, and Mall Cop is a bit of that. The humour is a bit offbeat, often making fun of this overweight guy who is however very fit and flexible. The usual challenges are shown: meeting a woman, fighting a bully, and defeating the evil guy who wanted to rob the mall, all of it in a light humoristic style. At some point the movie even reminds me of a kind of parody of Die Hard 1 + 2. But it is not really funny and definitely too predictable and unrealistic: this guy alone defeats a bunch of enemies who don't even carry guns... too easy.
