Rating: 3.5/5How many of us in Pakistan face the problem of what to watch with the family?
I think pretty much all of us.
Once upon a time, there were, urdu plays which finished in an hour without too many commercials.. but that was then, but now..

All we have left are...
English Movies- Unexpected SNL
English drama - can't watch too many murder mysteries cos my mom in law is squeamish.
Urdu Dramas - Way too many commercials
Indian Movies - Expected SNL
or even worse
tabsaray!
So what are we left with? yes.. I watch National Geographic, Discovery or sports with family. THATS ALL!
However, yesterday, after a long long time, I caught a movie on HBO called, "Paul Blart: MALL COP" starring Kevin James from "The King of Queens" Fame. While his acting was not that different from how he acts in the show, however, the movie was extremely funny and made me laugh out loud at regular intervals. The movie revolves around a mall cop, who in spite of his boring job description believe he is doing a very important job. His skill and commitment is put to test when a co-worker puts into action his plan to rob the mall and take his daughter and the girl he likes as hostages. The interesting and funny way, he foils robber's plans and shine in the end, makes it a very good comedy watch. Its not what he does, its how he does it!
As a comedy movie, this is perhaps the movie I watched after "What happens in Vegas" which actually made me laugh out loud. Whats even better about it is that I could actually watch it with my family. I only needed to censor a kiss and a scene where he is being beaten up, so that was a good change.
Maybe what I wrote is wrong cos I watched it on HBO, a channel which censors movies so much that one becomes miserable. So, in that case, I am sorry in advance if your mom screams, "What kinda cheap movie is this!" after you pop it in your DVD player. Ha ha.. Other wise, for good laughs.. I give it 3.5 outta 5. :)
