Paul

I originally didn't want to see this movie as I thought the previews looked juvenile and crass. But what I found while watching the movie was...that it was juvenile and crass. But I still liked it!

Paul is an alien that is trying to get home...think ET, but voiced by the expletive loving Seth Rogan (There isn't that much swearing). On his journey to get back to his home, he bumps into Graeme Willy (Simon Peg) and Clive Gollings (Nick Frost). The three form a fast, if uneasy friendship, while being pursued by the G-man Agent Zoil, his boss The Big Guy (Sigourney Weaver), Two inept policemen, homophobic red necks, and a shot gun toting father of an unsuspecting hostage victim of the trio, Ruth Buggs (Kristen Wiig).

The movie, despite being a mashup of ET and Every Which Way But Loose actually works really well.

4/5
