Story: Two sci-fi geeks take a pilgrimage to America's UFO heartland. While there, they accidentally meet an alien who brings them on an insane road trip that alters their universe forever. For the past 60 years, an alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen) has been hanging out at a top-secret military base. When he discovers he's been taken prisoner, the space-traveling smart ass decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town - a rented RV containing Earthlings Graeme Willy (Simon Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Nick Frost). Chased by federal agents and the fanatical father of a young woman that they accidentally kidnap, Graeme and Clive hatch a fumbling escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship. And as two nerds struggle to help, one little green man might just take his fellow outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes. Written byUniversal Pictures

Paul (2011) Review by dapplegrey13 from United States
We saw it tonight with about 30 friends at a pre-release screening inAtlanta.
Let me say I am a 50-yr-old female film-lover. Sci fi is not myfavorite genre, but I have seen most of the sci fi classics.
I didn't know what to expect as I am not always a sci-fi comedy fan.For instance, although mildly entertaining, I wasn't wild about"Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy". I was wild about some of the castmembers, but not really the film.
So, we arrived and the theatre was packed. They were turning peopleaway at the door. Although I had qualms and wasn't sure I'd like it, itturns out I LOVED it! ALL of the audience members seemed to laughthemselves in to hysterics through much of the film. And the ENTIREAUDIENCE CLAPPED WILDLY AT THE END!
WARNING: This movie is NOT for the devoutly religious or for those whoare offended by swearing and sexual references. Period. If you THINKyou might be offended by anti-religion humor, swearing, or sexualreferences, then don't go. And I would recommend it for older teensonly; NOT young teens.
Amazingly, during the first 20 minutes or so, I found myself thinking'This is delightful! If only they could keep it THIS funny for the restof the film..... so many comedies start out with a bang and then arejust "tired" by the end of the movie.....'
But I couldn't have been more wrong. It not only kept up a wonderfulpace, but introduced many great characters along the way.
If you enjoyed "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz", this will be rightup your alley. There were lots of sci fi movie references (Alien, ET,Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, Star Wars, Aliens, Predator, etc.) Ithad an AWESOME cast, MARVELOUS character development, and a terrificscript that went from sweet and moving, to hilarious, to scary, andback. It was really SO MUCH FUN!
It is lewd, it will certainly will be offensive to some AmericanChristians, and it is totally sci-fi, but it's absolutely hilarious.So, you sci-fi comedy lovers, GO!! RUN to the theatre to see it on thebig screen. Take friends and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
Paul (2011) Review by n-kalimin from Canada
I lucked out and received tickets to watch an advance screening of thismovie. I had 0 expectations, the trailer didn't really show much, andgenerally went in with an open mind.
Bottom line: no forced laughs and I laughed a plenty. The writing wasabsolutely brilliant. The gags are funny, and jokes come in smart andcrude and those who are science fiction fans will get a huge kick outof how many hidden nods there are everywhere. Simon Pegg and Nick Frostdid a fantastic job penning this script (as well as their acting)andwell executed by Greg Mottola (Superbad and Adventureland). Simply put,I had a blast and it was just that much satisfying as a film overall.
Personally, I would have given it a 10, but it may be hard to recommendto a wide audience. I would expect anyone aged from 16 to 30 wouldenjoy it the most given the amount of vulgarity in the movie.Basically, I wouldn't recommend it to my parents because theydefinitely will get turned off by it.
I was initially skeptical about Seth Rogan voicing Paul: DON'T WORRY.He does a great job and you end up loving the character. All the actorsin this film were great and you will enjoy their roles.
Paul (2011) Review by musanna-ahmed from United Kingdom
Shaun of the Dead – great. Hot Fuzz – brilliant. Paul, The thirdcollaboration between the two best friends Simon Pegg and Nick Frost isanother action-packed comedy featuring an alien, guns, and JasonBateman. Unlike the previous films the pair starred in, Paul still hasthe strong bromance between the two but takes a turn to be more of whatScott Pilgrim Vs the World was instead of Hot Fuzz.
Scott Pilgrim – directed by Edgar Wright who also directed the firsttwo films mentioned – was a geek-friendly action comedy. Paul is moreof a geek-friendly comedy. It's crude, so think Superbad (Greg Mottolahad directed that too) instead of Shaun. Then add the whole 'comic'tone of Scott Pilgrim – the great action scenes but less violent andamusing ones instead, and two geeks who are into comics rather than inthe comic like Scott Pilgrim was. And add E.T gone comedy with thevoice of Seth Rogen. Plus add a cameo from Sigourney Weaver. Then youhave Paul, a geeky, clever, and very funny film but simultaneously youthen have its problem.
As you could probably figure from the description above, the problembeing said is that Paul tries to pack too much in during the encounterwith the alien itself. The running time is a perfect 104 minutes. Butby the end of those 104 minutes, there are several suggested sub-plotsand alternate directions that could have been taken to reach thedestination. One sub-plot involves Paul shattering Ruth's (KristenWiig) faith. It's an odd film to have a religious subtext in and itwill maybe have questions thrown at in terms of what message is tryingto be said. Nevertheless, those 104 minutes are brimmed with pureentertainment and the plot is established enough to make sense and nottake a wrong turn.
With an ensemble cast, what makes Paul especially hilarious is howevery character in the film has a moment of comedy gold. That includesAdam Stevenson – famous writer whom they meet at a Comic-Con festivaland simply has five on-screen minutes. Five amusing on-screen minutes.Pegg and Frost are as funny as they were before, fizzing chemistry overArea 51, still the brilliant duo that work better than Pegg and AndySerkis did in Pegg's last film Burke and Hare. They're buddies withmutual buddy-love that are better together than most odd pairings. It's(probably) guaranteed that they will stay as the best British duo evenoff-screen as Thomson and Thompson in the upcoming Tintin film which isto be directed by veteran sci-fi director Steven Spielberg. It'sreported that Pegg and Frost said that Paul was a love letter toSpielberg – it sure is an amusing one, and is certainly the bestValentine-themed film this Valentine's Day.
The pair wrote the screenplay for this film – so expect manycontemporary references – plenty of sci-fi ones – and clever gags. Attimes, the jokes can feel a little self indulgent; inside jokes thatwould probably confuse most and only careful listeners can interpretthe clever jokes. The majority of the script, however, is alaugh-a-minute ride with some recurring jokes that become funnier andfunnier throughout. Paul's part of the script gives a big L to TheGreen Hornet; Seth Rogen was much funnier off screen. The actor wasmiscast as the green superhero so there were dreads of him beingmiscast as this green amiable alien but kudos to Pegg and Frost becausethis was the perfect script for Rogen to show that The Green Hornet'sfailed hilarity wasn't detrimental. Looking at another view, if Rogenwas the screenwriter for Paul, then maybe it would have been of thedull standard of the Hornet unless he can still write something on parwith Superbad. Imagine that.
Paul may be a funnier film for the more clever/geeky viewer. If that'sthe case, the words 'Cult Following' can be seen written all over it.For all other audience, Pegg and Frost haven't diminished in theircomedy quality from their previous films even though Paul may bebroader than either of them. If Scott Pilgrim was the geekiest film oflast year, Paul definitely wins that title for this year. It may not bean Out of This World film (pun partially intended) but lays claim tothe most hilarious film of 2011 yet.
Verdict: Your money's worth – Paul is the funniest film there has beenin ages.
