His family tries to find a suitable girlfriend for him but Blart have a crush on a new wig kiosk girl Amy (Jayma Mays). When a heist forced the mall to shut sown, Blart become the security officer that will save the day.
Direct storyline and simple plot right? Nobody asked you to enter the cinema with a rocket scientist brain with high expectation to enjoy a comedy. What do you expect; it's an Adam Sandler movie. It has same old slapstick or stupid humor and still I laugh or at least chuckle at it. The director plays with the mall environment to the fullest: window displays, CCTV, video arcade, mall announcement, sports shop, and air vent to name a few. If you like to ‘lepak’ at malls while growing up, it does bring back memories. Some moments surprise me involves few romantic scene, one of it is the Segway ride to the parking lot with Amy. There's is also family value with his daughter Maya (Raini Rodriguez) and the ending credit have a sweet touch for the whole movie but I wont give any spoiler away.
