The biggest comedy of the year, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, hits DVD and Blu-ray on May 19th from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The film (which earned an estimated $137 million at the box office) will arrive loaded with deleted scenes, outtakes, featurettes on the making of the movie, and a commentary. It will also mark the introduction of Sony’s eco-friendly ultralight DVD case on single-disc DVDs.
The new packaging is designed to use approximately 20 percent less plastic than a standard-weight DVD case and reduce the DVD case carbon footprint by 20 percent.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop was directed by Steve Carr (Are we Done Yet?, Daddy Day Care), co-written by Nick Bakay (TV’s “Til Death” and “King f Queens”) and Kevin James (TV’s “King of Queens,” I Now Pronounce you Chuck & Larry ) who also stars. This film also features Keir O’Donnell (Wedding Crashers), Jayma Mays (TV’s “Ugly Betty”) and Bobby Cannavale (TV’s “Will & Grace”); and was produced by Happy Madison Productions. Synopsis: With a heart that won’t quit, a stomach that won’t stop gurgling and a self-sworn oath to protect his turf, he’s Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Mild-mannered Paul Blart (Kevin James, “The King of Queens”) has always had huge dreams of becoming a State Trooper. Until then, he patrols the local mall as a security guard.
With his closely cropped moustache, personal transporter and gung-ho attitude, only Blart seems to take his job seriously. All of that changes when a team of thugs raid the mall and take hostages. Untrained, unarmed and a super-size target—Blart decides now’s the time for the big guy to show everyone he’s the biggest cop of the mall as he tries to save the day.
