Paul
To see a trailer or rate this film, please click here »
Directed by Greg Mottola.
Starring: Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, Kristin Wiig, Joe Lo Truglio, Bill Hader, Sigourney Weaver, Jason Bateman, Blythe Danner, Jane Lynch, Seth Rogen, Jeffrey Tambor.
Plot: Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) reunite for the comedy adventure Paul as two sci-fi geeks whose pilgrimage takes them 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. For reasons unknown, 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 (Pegg) and Clive Gollings (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...

Re: Paul
Just come back from the 10:30 Odeon screening. I did have a laugh before the film started where a woman next to me started wondering if anyone would be bothered to wake up early for this.
Having been to San Diego comic con last year (where they showed us 5 minutes of this film coincidentally), the start of this film instantly appealed to me and brought on alot of great references and brought back alot of fun memories.
In terms of the film I thought the funny meter was on par with the previous Pegg/Frost films and the story was a great amalgamation on a few classics.
Overall I'd give this a 8/10. The film was great, but the twist involving Lorenzo Zoil (the audience laughed at that name, but the reference was lost on me. Please explain?), being the good guy didnt make sense for me and came out of nowhere. There was no foundation for it and it took 2 whole score points out of the movie for me. Along with the fact that the tension in the climax (involving a shotgun) was wasted as the predictability meter was on high. So while it should've been emotional, and was presented in the right way, your just waiting for the prediction to come true. Which brought down another 2 points for the movie. But i have to say the movie's score got brought back up alot with, in my opinion, one of the best and hilarious disposals of a bad guy i've seen

There is a film called Lorenzo's Oil, apparently after a true story: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104756/TheOnes wrote: the twist involving Lorenzo Zoil (the audience laughed at that name, but the reference was lost on me. Please explain?),
