Review of Paul

I haven't seen 'Hot Fuzz', but I actually preferred this to 'Shaun of the Dead'. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are definitely capable comedians, and the science-fiction/comedy combination actually worked really well. I also liked the character Paul, his mannerisms were certainly something new for an alien, and this was refreshing. However the whole time I was waiting for something a little bit more. 'Paul' was never laugh-out-loud funny, and despite some sweet moments, it just didn't pack enough punches and laughs to be called a 'solid' comedy film.
