Paul (1:40) 2011
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reunite in this road trip movie. Graeme and Clive attend the Comic-Con convention in San Diego. Their plan is to rent an RV and drive to some alien tourist attractions like Area 51 and Roswell before returning to England. Graeme and Clive, while sci-fi geeks, are decent men and stop at the scene of an accident. There they meet Paul, a big headed, cigarette smoking alien on the run. Paul is voiced by Seth Rogen and has some funny lines. The duo agree to drive Paul to his rendezvous point with the mother ship. Of course along the way they are chased by government men who want to recapture Paul. The trio meet a young woman, Ruth, who decides to leave her oppressive father and travel with them. Ruth's father is also in pursuit. I went to see Paul with my daughter, Liz and my two nephews, Connor and Paul. They are all adults and I was glad, while the movie is funny the language is crude and vulgar. I had to admit we couldn't help laugh at some of the crude dialogue. We all enjoyed the movie and had a good time. Although Paul is receiving mediocre reviews I think it will do well at the box office due to word of mouth. We weren't the only ones laughing out loud.
