Paul Blart: Mall Cop Teaser Trailer Starring Kevin James

A teaser trailer of sorts has arrived online for the upcoming Kevin James comedy Mall Cop (which has been renamed to Paul Blart: Mall Cop since it was originally announced). The teaser is actually a viral video of a skateboarder (pro skater Mike Vallely, to be exact) vandalizing a mall before being confronted by a mall security cop (Kevin James!).

Although I thought this was a creative marketing idea, the video itself wasn’t all that funny. I suppose when Kevin James is your biggest star, that’s not a good sign to begin with. I did like his segway though… do mall cops actually ride those things? That’s pretty awesome. Either way, I’m guessing Seth Rogen’s mall cop movie, Observe and Report, will be a little better than this. Paul Blart: Mall Cop is directed by Steve Carr (Next Friday, Dr. Doolittle 2, Daddy Day Care) and hits theatres on January 16th, 2009.

  1. That wasn’t funny at all. I felt bad for the mall cop.

  2. this is coming from a man who watched season six of king of queens in its entirety yesterday .. that was indeed brutal … mike valley didn’t help too much either … but i will still watch anything that kevin james is in.

    King of Queens inspired moment:
    Doug: Let’s flip a coin on it.
    [Carrie hands him a penny ]
    [Doug looks at here in disgust]
    Doug: What the hell is wrong with you?
    You are such a girl.
    Here. we’ll flip a quarter.
    [Doug hold up quarter]
    Doug: And for future reference, this is your smallest
    flippable coin.

  3. For what it’s worth, I like Kevin James’ comedy.

    (And I’m tired of defending Rob Schneider. I wonder if the French think Rob Schneider is a genius. :-) )

    I guess there’s an audience for everything.

  4. I stumbled upon this on the tubes. At the point of Vallely tagging things I was disappointed by fakeness…now it makes sense.
