For the past 60 years, a space-traveling smart-ass named Paul has been locked up in a top-secret military base, advising world leaders about his kind. But when he worries he’s outlived his usefulness and the dissection table is drawing uncomfortably close, Paul escapes on the first RV that passes by his compound in Area 51. Fortunately, it contains the two earthlings who are most likely to rescue and harbor an alien on the run.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Paul is a lot less funny than I anticipated. It's a one-joke pony ("Hey! The alien acts just like Seth Rogen! Hilarious!") and it rides that pony into the ground. I also wasn't a fan of the anti-religion plot line. It had some humorous moments and some great, nerdy sci-fi references, but this movie, sadly, doesn't live up to its potential.

Not much more to say really. Feel good comedy with some nice action packed in, can't go wrong with this one.

Not really much to say here. This movie is very funny and has a decent story with good CGI (for 2011) but it feels really weak when compared to Simon Pegg's other movies. The jokes can get a bit repetitive and it feels very "american" compared to Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz (Mainly because Greg Mottola is directing) but it's just something that bothers me a little and nothing else. It's a fun movie, but unlike Kingsman and other fun movies it clearly lacks a creative spark.

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.
