Also Paul Blart wants to be a good father figure for his daughter, and ha some anti-feminism aspects as showing the father as the good parent against a mother (not present in the movie though, only seen in a photo), who only married him to get legal status in the country, and they left him. Which could also been seen as an anti-illegal immigrant message. This film is also somewhat anti-environmentalism. |

| − | |The movie's main protagonist, Keller Dover, is a deeply devout Christian man, who says the Lord's Prayer on several occasions. The movie also depicts the importance of family in a very positive light, with Keller vowing to protect and love those closest to him at all costs. However, when his daughter and best friend are kidnapped, Keller takes matters into his own hands by kidnapping, imprisoning, and torturing the man whom he believes is responsible, even though it becomes apparent that he could not have done it. This is a clear transformation from holy man to sinner, as is symbolized at one point by the filmmakers intentionally changing Keller's daughter's best friend's rat from white to black. This makes it clear that the movie is self-aware that its main protagonist is no longer a good Christian man. Furthermore, this is could be a symbolization of Jesus Christ's crucifixion, as the man being tortured is innocent, and suffering for the crimes of the real kidnapper, his aunt. | + | |The movie's main protagonist, Keller Dover, is a deeply devout Christian man, who says the Lord's Prayer on several occasions.
