I respect Kevin James for coming out of his comfort zone and doing something against his type. I will always support artists who want to expand their skills, but unfortunately Mr. James feels miscast here. Not once did I believe he was playing this character and I didn't find him intimidating as I couldn't take him seriously. Throughout the movie I only saw Paul Blart if he turned racist, which I guess made it somewhat enjoyable.
However, I think it's the writing that's at fault here and not Kevin James, as the writing gave him nothing to work with and the character itself was so underdeveloped.
