The ad campaign for PAUL has wittily informed us that this film was directed by "the earthling who brought you SUPERBAD," Greg Mottola. Of course, since PAUL is largely a comedy, there won't be a single ad that'll allude to the director's more recent cinematic offering, the amazingly delightful ADVENTURELAND, because studio heads won't want you to think "No way, man, I'm not gonna go see a movie t... read more

Good, cinematic entertainment? You can count on it. A good, fresh comedy? Far from it. Paul is full of forced jokes, based on unnecessary vulgar language and ridiculous, hasty set ups. On top of this, the visual gags are pointed out by the characters because they assume the audiences are too stupid to pick up on it themselves. For example, as seen in the trailer, Paul is dressed as a cowboy to go ... read more

"Hey fucknuts! Probing time."

Following their parodies of zombie flicks (2004's Shaun of the Dead) and action films/buddy cop movies/murder mysteries (2007's Hot Fuzz), the endearing British comedy duo of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost turned to road movies and sci-fi for 2011's Paul. However, while Shaun and Hot Fuzz were British movies directed by Edgar Wright, American director Greg M... read more

"2011: Two British comic-book geeks traveling across the U.S. encounter an alien outside Area 51. Fun Fact: Simon Pegg and Nick Frost made the film to demonstrate their love for Steven Spielberg's sci-fi classics,Close Encounters of the Third Kind(1977) and E. T. (1982). When Spielberg got wind of the project, he happily suggested that he make a cameo appearance of some sort, in this case a voice on a speakerphone. "

"First viewing - Aug. 25th After the kiddo went to bed I decided to watch Paul, a film I'd wanted to see in theatres but missed since its release fell while the kiddo was in her first year of life. And I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It works as a love letter to sci-fi as well as a wacky buddy comedy. I loved all the references sprinkled throughout, and found it to be solidly entertaining. It never crosses the line into greatness, but that's not a bad thing in this case. It'"
