Is There a John Daly Film in the Works?

According to the man himself, there may just be a film based on Daly’s life on the way. That movie would be based on a book that Daly plans on writing himself. Pretty ambitious for a guy who lost 115 lbs. The question though is–would you go see a movie about John Daly? If it’s half as entertaining as the (former) big man’s real life, count me in.

Daly has some fairly interesting ideas as to who would play him before and after his lap-band surgery.

“I just saw Matt Damon, how he swung a golf club, and I thought if I ever made a movie, I want him to be me,” Daly said. “The tough part is who would play me at 290 pounds. Now Kevin James, he’s my bud, but he’d be good.”

I’m not 100% sure, but I think Daly was joking about the Matt Damon part of that quote. At least he should be joking. Kevin James, on the other hand, would be a perfect choice to play the rotund version of John Daly.

Finally, I never thought that John Daly would be the voice of reason on any subject, but it seems he’s on the money as far as criticism of Tiger Woods by fellow players goes.

“I’m not too happy with what some of the players have said,” Daly said. “Without him our tour would not survive as what it is when Tiger plays. I just hope for him and [wife] Elin that they get through it.”

Now On DVD: “Paul Blart: Mall Cop”

Paul Blart: Mall Cop comes out on DVD tomorrow and I’m almost ashamed to admit that I not only watched this movie but I also kinda liked it. Of course, I’m not going to say it’s the best movie I’ve ever seen but it was sweet and actually a little funnier than I was expecting.

Kevin James (King of Queens) stars as Paul Blart, an overweight man who lives with his mother and daughter and works as a (you guessed it!) mall cop. Actually, he prefers to be called a “security officer” but who’s keeping track, right? He dreams of becoming a State Trooper but he keeps failing the test because of his hypoglycemia (you’d think it would be because of the fact that he’s horribly out of shape but you’d be wrong!).

Paul is a real stickler when it comes to following rules (he even makes up and suggests some to his superiors) and his life seems to be on the upswing when a new girl (Jayma Mays) at a kiosk in the mall shows some interest in him.

Unfortunately, the mall gets overtaken by thieves and his new crush, along with some of his friends, are taken hostage. Will Paul succeed in defending the mall? Watch the movie to find out.

It’s a pretty decent family flick and, if you’re a fan of physical comedy, you won’t be disappointed.
