Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is a 2015 American comedy film directed by Andy Fickman and distributed by Columbia Pictures. It is the sequel to Paul Blart: Mall Cop released in 2009 and was written by Kevin James and Nick Bakay. The film stars James as the eponymous mall cop Paul Blart, along with Neal McDonough, Daniella Alonso, David Henrie, Raini Rodriguez, and Vic Dibitetto. Filming began in April 2014 at Wynn Las Vegas casino resort. It was released the following year on April 17, 2015.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is the first film shot on the Steve Wynn property. It is also the first film to receive Nevada's film tax credit enacted in 2013. The film grossed $107 million worldwide.
Six years after the events of the first film, Paul Blart (Kevin James) is recovering from several misfortunes. His wife Amy (Jayma Mays) divorced him six days into their marriage, and his mother Margaret (Shirley Knight) was killed after being hit by a milk truck. To feel better, Paul takes pride in patrolling his mall, the West Orange Pavilion Mall. Paul receives an invitation to a security officers' convention in Las Vegas and begins to believe his luck is about to change. His daughter Maya Blart (Raini Rodriguez) discovers that she was accepted into UCLA and plans to move across the country to Los Angeles, but in light of her father's invitation, she decides to withhold the information for now.
After arriving in Las Vegas, Paul and his daughter meet the general manager of Wynn Hotel, a pretty young woman named Divina Martinez (Daniella Alonso), to whom Paul is instantly attracted. He later learns that she's dating the hotel's head of security, Eduardo Furtillo (Eduardo Verástegui). Meanwhile, Maya and the hotel's valet, Lane (David Henrie) become instantly attracted to each other. A security guard from the Mall of America attending the convention, Donna Ericone (Loni Love), is aware of Paul's earlier heroics in the West Orange Pavilion Mall incident and believes Paul will be the likely keynote speaker at the event. However, Paul discovers that another security guard, Nick Panero (Nicholas Turturro), is giving the speech.
