Kevin James is set star in an untitled comedy for Sony Pictures. According to Variety, the film is about “a physics teacher who moonlights as a martial arts fighter to save his school’s music program.” While the film lacks a title, may I suggest “Fatty Fall Down” since I assume that will be the basis for most of the jokes. Screenwriter Allan Loeb (The Switch) is in talks to handle the script.
James has become a favorite of the studio ever since January 2009 when Paul Blart: Mall Cop was a surprise hit at the box office and grossed $146 million. James is also leading their family comedy The Zookeeper, which is due out July 8, 2011. He’ll next be seen in Ron Howard’s cheating-couples comedy The Dilemma, which opens January 14, 2011. Production on the mixed martial arts comedy could begin as soon as early 2011.

How did Paul Blart Mall Cop make any money! $146,000,000! WTF.
RETARDS!
Easy question and easy answer. This movie came out at the worst part of the recession/depression. Everyone thought that our way of life (ie. Starbucks and air conditioning) would be over. Seriously. People needed a few stupid laughs. My wife & I saw it and we had a few laughs.
I tried watching it again on Netflix and I couldn’t get thru 1/2 of it.
It was the right movie at the right time.
I like Kevin James – in a retarded way, but honestly, I’ll take the “Foot Fist Way” over this.
Could this be the Beverly Hills Ninja 2 we’ve all been waiting for?
Didn’t they already do a movie similar to this called “Nacho Libre”?
