10 Films That Probably Started As A Drunken Bet
8. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2
Paul Blart: Mall Cop was a bad comedy about a fat idiot who, in between performing pratfalls, foiled a siege at the mall where he worked, so Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is a bad comedy about a fat idiot who, in between performing pratfalls, foils an art theft in Las Vegas, where he’s on vacation.
A movie destined to be this generation’s Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach (only more likely to inspire mass suicide), Mall Cop 2 proves the power of positive drinking. You can almost hear the drunken executives egging each other on: “Can we put in more fat jokes this time? How unlikeable can we make the lead character? I’ve got it - let’s have him talk down to ethnic minorities!”
In true sequel style, there’s more of everything the first one had: more segways, more generic villains and another ‘hilarious’ scene where Kevin James runs into a glass door.
