The rivalry with one other mall employee. And while Paul makes a connection with his dream girl while drinking (but before falling through the window), Ronnie gets some face time with the lady as well (before she falls asleep while they're having sex.)ħ.

Brandi, on the other hand, is an experienced drinker and pill-taker, but that doesn't stop her from getting just as hammered as Paul does. Paul Blart doesn't really drink, so when he goes out with the other mall workers and downs a margarita before he knows what it is, the night ends in some embarrassing karaoke and falling through a plate glass window. The night out drinking that ends badly, sorta. For Ronnie, it's makeup salesgirl Brandi, played by a batshit crazy but also very pretty Anna Faris.Ħ. The pretty girl crush who works in cosmetics in the mall.įor Paul, it's weave salesgirl Amy, played by a very bland but very pretty Jayma Mays. Apparently this is a pretty universal mall cop gripe.ĥ. Probably the one shared joke between the two movies is one about having to pretend you have a gun even though you're not allowed one. The jokes about mall cops not actually having guns. Ronnie's is a much bigger character played by Ray Liotta, a cop who is just as power-mad and maybe deranged as Ronnie, but just does a better job at keeping his cool.Ĥ. Paul Blart's rival is a SWAT team agent and former high school classmate played by Bobby Cannavale, brought in at the end to handle the robbery in progress. The archnemesis working outside the mall with more power. At the mall Ronnie has an equally-ridiculous ride, a white egg-shaped golf cart, but since it has four wheels, it doesn't count.ģ. Ronnie rides a white Honda motorcycle, which is left as a subtle jab never mentioned by the characters. Paul rides a Segway both in the mall and out, a cheap joke that's used way too many times.

The silly two-wheeled vehicle used for transportation. Both obviously struggle with their weight, and both live with their equally overweight moms, who are supportive and maybe a little overbearing and, in Ronnie's case, a huge mess.Ģ. Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan illuminated the second floor of Neiman Marcus in Boca on Mahelping customers pick out handbags from his latest collection.It's not just the mall cop careers that make Paul Blart and Ronnie Barnhardt seem so similar. 3, 2012, Stella McCartney made an appearance at Saks Fifth Avenue to show fans her 2013 collection. 10, 2011, Richard Lambertson and John Truex came to Tiffany & Co., to introduce their new handbag and accessories line for the posh jewelry store. Rosie O'Donnell did a meet and greet with fans and displayed her art work there Apand Paul Stanley of Kiss also showed his art work there and met with fans in March 2010. Wentworth Gallery in Town Center Boca Raton has also attracted A-listers for in-store appearances. 1, 2010, designer Betsey Johnson made an appearance in the Nordstrom end of the mall to open her now closed store. 4, 2008, Dwyane Wade, Alonzo Mourning and DJ Irie hosted a private charity event at the Louis Vuitton store. He had just released a collection of ready-to-wear camouflage bags and I confessed to him I had spent my entire paycheck on it. While I can't remember the specific date, I did almost lose my mind once running into Michael Kors in 2006 at Saks Fifth Avenue. The late "Wizard of Oz" munchkin Margaret Pellegrini came for a meet and greet with fans around 2004. My friend who was working there at the time said she didn't recognize him until he she saw the name on his coveted American Express Centurion Card - aka the black card - when he paid for his shoes.Īnd let's not forget the dozens of scheduled appearances stars made over the years. Several years ago, actor Paul Sorvino popped into Skechers. I saw football player Zach Thomas in front of Yankee Candle shopping with his wife and kids just before Christmas. Bagels on the corner of Powerline and Palmetto Park roads. During that time, Roddick was residing in Boca Pointe and I would often see him at the Starbucks and Einstein Bros. I spotted Andy Roddick shopping for jeans and T-shirts with his friends at Abercrombie and Fitch in during his days dating Mandy Moore, which was circa 2003.
