An average movie

Honestly, I was rather disappointed. I mean, the premise was just pure gold. Indeed, two geegs portrayed by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost bump into an alien (voiced by Seth Rogen) who is just a rude SOB who likes to smoke and drink beers. If you read it like this, it all sounded great on paper but, unfortunately, the whole thing was ok but not much more than that I'm afraid. First of all, I didn't care at all about Paul's superpowers. I mean, it was the whole point of this flick : to have an extra-terrestrial being who is neither a psychotich killing machine or a nice and cutty creature who wants to help human-kind but just an average slacker who just wants to have fun and chill around. The second thing that bothered me was that there were too many boring supporting characters. I know, it is the whole point with a road trip, they meet some colorful people and hilarity should follow. Well, it wasn't always the case here. Still, Pegg, Frost and Rogen were all pretty good here so I was still entertained throughout the whole thing but it couldn't have been much better in my opinion. To conclude, in spite of its flaws, I still think it remains a decent comedy and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
