Yes, it's "Paul Blart: Mall Cop," Columbia Pictures, 2009

In... honor of (?) the unfortunately non-rhyming "Paul Blart: Mall Cop," we take a look at a few of the movies set in major retail settings, from department stores ("Miracle on 34th Street") to malls ("Scenes from a Mall") to big-box stores ("Career Opportunities"), and then, because we're punchy from Sundance prep, discuss the alien versus Viking movie with which we've become obsessed.
