Kevin James’”Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2″ failed to dethrone the action packed film, raking in $59.8 million in its debut weekend. In this sequel, in which James reprises the role of Paul Blart, the security guard is headed to Las Vegas to attend a Security Guard Expo with his teenage daughter Maya (Raini Rodriguez) before she departs for college. While at the convention, he inadvertently discovers a heist – and it’s up to Blart to apprehend the criminals. Rottentomatoes.com dished out a fat round “0” so far which means “Mall Cop 2” is the lowest rated movie of 2015 based on 41 reviews. The consensus reads:

“Bathed in flop sweat and bereft of purpose, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 strings together fat-shaming humor and Segway sight gags with uniformly unfunny results.”

Ouch!
