Sony has released the first Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 trailer.  Kevin James returns as the titular security guard, en route to Las Vegas to attend the Security Guard Expo: "While at the convention, he inadvertently discovers a heist---and it’s up to Blart to apprehend the criminals."  In Vegas, Blart swallows a fly, Segways into a car, gets slapped by a peacock, and sprints into a glass door, among other slapstick gags.  Credit where credit is due though: I found one genuine laugh in the trailer.

Hit the jump to watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 trailer.  Raini Rodriguez, Eduardo Verástegui, Daniella Alonso, Neal McDonough, and David Henrie also star in the sequel directed by Andy Fickman (Parental Guidance).  Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 opens April 17, 2015.
