Review of Paul (2011)

It is one of the must-sees of 2011. Simon Pegg and his side kick Nick Frost return with a sci-fi spoof, complete with lots of comedy and gags. For lots of fans, the on screen bro-mance duo are back.
Directed by Greg Mottola, of Superbad and from the stars of Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the dead, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost return for the comedy adventure of the year.

The pair star as sci-fi nerds who stumble across a friendly computer alien, voiced by Seth Rogan.
For the past 60 years, the alien named Paul has been hanging out at a top-military base. He decides to escape the compound and jump on the first vehicle out of town on a rented RV containing earthlings Greame Willy (Pegg) and Clive Collings (Frost).
They are chased by federal agents and the fanatical father of a woman they accidentally kidnap. Greame and Clive think up an escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship and as two nerds struggle to help, a little green man might just take his fellow outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes.

Student, Vicky Chessum saw the film when it came out: "I thought the film was hilarious, the narrative was  original and I didn't lose interest whilst watching the film."
