Aliens crash landing on earth...correction, aliens appearing exclusively in the United States of America, people with a exceptionally good talent for yelling out mothers and sisters running about, until a leader gives a motivational talk on universal brotherhood (keep those nuclear weapons aside, for now) and an unlikely hero packing aliens to their own outer-space hell with a good smack to their obviously better evolved buttocks...
Hollywood film makers have drained every lemon drop cosmos squeeze out of hostile aliens and end of the world scenarios in countless expensive action dramas.
E.T. call home
So Paul, a goofy science-fiction road trip comedy comes as a relief, kind of.
Despite the irrelevance, abuses barfing up as comedy, there is good Area 51 friendly air blowing, thanks to the Simon Pegg - Nick Frost duo making light of playing geeks who are visiting all the famous UFO US hot spots and end up encountering a on-the-run, smooth talking, hitchhiker-like-shorts-wearing, cigarette-spouting, healing-powered alien named Paul (Seth Rogen-voiced) instead.
Alien movie lovers rejoice
Pegg and Frost are exactly the guys you would want to hang out with a friendly alien who needs to get back to his planet far far away, with a little help from his dude friends.
If you love every kind of alien movie out there, you will like the fun references, especially the suggestion that Steven Spielberg consulted Paul on alien authenticity for E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) and gasp at the lovely short climax cameo by an alien-movie regular.
Paul movie review
Director Greg Mottola keeps Paul running with its spoofy, reference-filled vibes, as it goes overboard and raunchy, like so many other commercial Hollywood movies featuring sexually gross jokes, just for the heck of it.
It takes the earthly comedy talents of Pegg, Frost, Rogen and Kristen Wiig to suit up for this just-a-cut-above-average one-time ride.
The Close Encounters of a Third Kind (1977) replication finale sums up Paul, it doesn't tickle out the laughs but keeps the smiles coming.
