Paul

While enjoying an RV holiday touring the hot spots of extraterrestrial activity in the American Southwest, a pair of English nerds run into an actual alien looking for a way to get back home. If it sounds like a family friendly film along the lines of ET, then be warned that Paul is definitely not for kids. It’s more for adults (OK, adult males) who never grew up. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, stars of Shawn of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, play the nerds in the mobile home and they are both very funny and absolutely charming. Seth Rogen provides the voice for the alien Paul and gives one of the best performances of his film career without ever actually appearing in the film. The real treat of the movie, though, is the performance by Kristine Wigg (Bridesmaids) as a deeply religious woman who has her world-view ruined when Paul touches her head and fills it with all his knowledge, as well as a perverse pleasure in swearing.
