Ivan Antonijevic This is one of the films that forces you to think as the author imagined, a lot of the stereotypes and weak arguments. It feels as if you are forced to listen to a stupid man that talks 2 hours. Yes, there are a few funny scenes, but it's transformed into "swill".It's not about whether you are religious or not, but the movie shows a forced belief of the author and without any arguments, but uses the stereotypes that are not really arguments. You feel like you are in the prison of stupidity. I really do not like movies like that. Also, it's very predictable, you just wait when it will happened, imposing the wrong model (drugs, bisexuality, "strong" language...).I think every film needs to have a lesson (final word) and this garbage have: smoke, be gay - it's fine, there's no God, drugs...Just do not waste time on this.

merklekranz "Paul" has a very promising beginning, with a good laugh count. The fish out of water scenario of an alien needing assistance to get home works initially. However, just passed the midway point, after the religious zealot girl gets involved, things change from clever to redundant, bordering on boring. I mean the cursing angle is way over done, and the film seems to have run out of ideas. The last third of the film is nothing more than a cartoon-like car chase. Overall, "Paul" is enjoyable enough for a watch, but repeat viewings seem unlikely. It's really a shame, because the alien creature is well done, but Paul ultimately wears out his welcome. - MERK

stevenlesliethomas Who do i see to get that 2 hours back. Worst movie i have seen in a long time. Usually like Simon Pegg but as my son said "did he write this as they were going to shoot?". Not sure if this was to be a true comedy or a weak attempt at satire focusing on ET and other early space alien movies. The movie starts off promising with Comic Con and a few good laughs at nerdy stereotypes. Then jumps into a few typical jokes of laughs at homosexuals and straights but falls very flat. Then the movie tries very weakly to make a statement on religion and then continues into a mishmash of tripe. I will give Simon Pegg a pass as the rest of his movies had a cutting edge that was funny.

idanvinter123 Huge fan of Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. They make a brilliant duo, they're the Action-Comedy kings, and this film proves it. Brilliant comedy, great voice-dubbing by Seth Rogen, surprisingly great action sequences and great original story. The directing was spectacular, the writing was great as well, and everything is handled fantastic. I'm definitely gonna watch this film again, had a blast with it, and basically anyone who loves comedy can enjoy it. A very humorous look at the mysteries behind Area 51. Greg Mottola really nailed the directing here, truly enjoyed that aspect. Other than that, my only issues with this film is that I wanted a little more background about Nick and Simon, and I wanted more background about The Big Guy, she felt kinda too mysterious and had a bit of an empty personality. Besides that, I really recommend this film, if you love either Nick and Simon or just a fan of Comedy- check it out.
