Paul

2011

Starring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Seth Rogen

I found Paul to be extremely funny. I’m thinkin’ we all need our own little Paul.

I’m not much of a Seth Rogen fan because it seems that he can’t do any movie without having the F-word being most of his lines. Sometimes I swear he rewrites his scripts just to add that word in there. Bad form.

Paul, a recent escapee from a military compound, wrecks his stolen car and is picked up by two Comic-con geeks Graeme Willy (Simon Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Nick Frost) outside Area 51. Together, Paul takes them on a wild road trip where they accidently have to kidnap a young woman, Ruth Buggs (Kristen Wiig), because she saw Paul. All the while they are being chased by Feds and the crazy father of the girl and trying to get Paul back to his mother ship.

There are crazy mishaps, adventures and run-ins that make this movie fun to watch. And there’s even a twist to the story! I so did not expect that!!

So, if you like alien stuff and you just don’t give a hoot how many alien movies are out there and you’re looking for fun, then I suggest Paul.

Two thumbs up for me!
