What critics compared Rebound to
James co-wrote it with "King of Queens" producer/writer Nick Bakay, then handed the directorial reins to Steve Carr, whose previous PG comedies, which include "Daddy Day Care," "Rebound," and "Are We Done Yet?," should not have inspired confidence.
"Paul Blart: Mall Cop" was directed by Steve Carr, the king of throwaway family movies whose past credits include 2005's " Rebound " and 2007's " Are We Done Yet? " He is in his comfort zone here, but a game Kevin James (2007's " I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry ") and a cute-as-a-button Jayma Mays (2007's " Epic Movie ") raise the proceedings all on their own above being thoroughly detestable.
Granted, these scenes work on the page, but the execution is as flat and dull as director Steve Carr's other family-oriented films like Daddy Day Care and Rebound.
