Kevin James Patrols Vegas in First 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2' Trailer

Did you forget that a sequel to Paul Blart: Mall Cop was coming? Or did you intentionally block it from memory? Whatever you think of it, the first film made $183M five years ago, and that's a lot of people paying to watch Kevin James stumble around and fall over over stuff, all while wearing a uniform designed to emphasize his chunkiness. And if you were one of those who liked it then, chances are Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is already on your radar.

The first trailer has arrived and...let's face it, it's exactly what was to be expected. The sequel finds inept security guard Paul Blart attending a security expo in Las Vegas with his daughter, only to stumble upon a major art heist. Somehow the band KISS figures into all this, and of course there's plenty of time for that special brand of Kevin James tomfoolery.

Despite the earlier success was anyone really clamoring for a sequel? And how long until we can get a crossover between Paul Blart and Melissa McCarthy's Tammy? Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 hits theaters April 17th 2015.

Johnson had been there in Selma, Alabama to give a speech on voting rights just a week after racially-charged violence had erupted. [TheWrap]
