Paul

This film is about two British men, Clive and Graeme, who are best friends played by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Sound familiar? It should! These are the two men who brought us Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. In this scenario they have come to America to attend comic-con and then, in a rented RV, travel to all the geekiest hotspots from the infamous black mailbox to Area 51. Not long into their journey, however, they meet a small green man named Paul from space and agree to help him get back home. Meanwhile, they are pursued by several agents, two homophobic rednecks, and an angry bible-thumping father. Needless to say, hilarity ensues! Will they get Paul to his rendezvous point before their pursuers catch them?
　
Let me just say “Bravo!” I am still clapping! I love the films from this duo and can’t wait for the next one. The more you love sci-fi films, novels, or comic books, the more you will love this film. It is jam-packed with clever references from all your favorite sci-fi movies from Star Wars to E.T. Even if you don’t know much about the sci-fi world, there is still lots to enjoy. I love these films because just watching them makes you feel like part of one big inside joke. Be forewarned, however, there is a LOT more profanity in this film than the other two and is rated R for a reason! If that doesn’t bother you, then grab your popcorn, sit back and prepare to be delighted!
　
My Opinion in a Nutshell:

Entertainment: 8- Although this film is hysterical, there is a bit of a target audience here and if you don’t fit into it, you might feel a bit left out of the full effect, but there are still plenty of laughs for you!

Award-worthy: 3- There is a good reason we don’t see many comedies at the Oscars.
