Recently, I went to the movies and saw "Paul Blart: Mall Cop." This is a comedy starring Kevin James as Paul Blart. Blart is a security guard at the local mall who takes his job very seriously. His wife left him after using him for citizenship and he is single for years. His mother and daughter convince him to use an online dating service, and he searches for a match online. He meets what he thinks is his perfect match, Amy. After a bad evening in a bar, Amy wants nothing to do with Blart, but things change when he saves lives.
Although the "Mall Cop" is a big tough guy and saves lives, there are many times throughout the movie that he is crying. After the bad night in the bar, he starts crying when he thinks of Amy. He also cries in front of other cops. Blart is looked at as a baby because he cries in certain scenes throughout the movie. If there was a female crying in the movie, it would have been completely normal. Why is it that men cannot show emotion and be tough at the same time? I think this movie was good because it showed a full grown man crying. Society should not judge anyone for showing emotion.
Thanks for reading!
