Unfortunately, Hayes was unavailable for this sequel due to her shooting schedule on GLEE.
At the end of the first film, Blart married the girl of his dreams, Amy (Jayma Hayes). It really wasn’t until the film began that I realized the previous BLART had come out more than six years ago. And so it was that I found myself in the local Cinema Café, jockeying for space with people on family outings and watching PAUL BLART: MALL COP 2. My destination would have to be a place where my legs could carry me. My budget was limited and transportation was nonexistent. Unfortunately, the options in my neighborhood were few and far between. I decided that I needed to get out of the house and show my face to the world once again. The house was becoming a prison, the walls were closing in. I had spent a number of days indoors, trips to the grocery store notwithstanding. No, I haven’t, though I have been preoccupied with other things which meant there wasn’t much energy left over to focus on the very thing that brings me comfort in times of stress, my writing. It even led to some asking if I had given up on the site altogether. Whereas articles would ordinarily be published mere days apart, now weeks go by without much activity. I have had many weeks of what feels like pure lethargy. Sometimes, it keeps us from doing much of anything at all. It can make us do things we’re not proud of. Cinematographer: Dean Semler.ĭepression is a hell of a thing.
