Paul (8/10)

Paul is a great comedy from two worlds...literally. Two british sci-fi geeks (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the best comedic pair of the decade) arrive in the U.S go from Comic-Con to traveling the country, visiting famous UFO hotspot and sights. Along the way they run into Paul, the stoner alien (Seth Rogen playing himself). What follows is a madcap journey through several states as the three run from the mysterious agent (Jason Bateman) who is hunting them down. The cast is strong from those mentioned  plus Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, John Carroll Lynch, Jeffery Tambor, Jane Lynch, Joe Lo Truglio and Sigourney Weaver. However what truly is great about this movie is the type of comedy. Seth Rogen is one of the most popular comedians working right now. Anything his name is attached too automatically gets publicity. His stoner comedy is something that works really well today. Then there is the combination of Pegg and Frost, two kings of British comedies. Their jokes are more subtle and intelligent, but when pulled off are funnier than anything you'll see in american comedies. Take those two types and make it all geek humor and you got a great comedy and a perfect geek movie. It's not as funny as Pineapple Express, Knocked Up, Hot Fuzz and Shaun Of The Dead; but it's still a sweet time. The best comedy of the year so far in my opinion.

8/10

Recommendation: Sci-fi geeks will love it, everyone else will still have fun. There were two jokes I laughed my ass off in the theater... I was the only one. The scene where they show Paul in the cowboy suit and and Pegg says they're just a normal family, paul retorts with "We're as normal as the Friedmans", i was the only one who got that i think cause i was the only one laughing.
