Review: Paul



Pegg and Frost team up once again to showcase their natural chemistry once again as a pair of nerds setting out on a once in a lifetime US road trip, but despite taking the lead roles they settle for being the links between several not so-subtle spoofs 80s sci-fi as the rest of the cast get most of the good lines - with Seth Rogen shining as the CGI alien Paul, showing he suits a supporting role and delivering an excellent voice performance that could've ruined the film if he hadn't delivered the goods.

Relying a bit too much on swearing for laughs and the lack of any truly memorable jokes stop this film from being a classic, but simply describing Paul as a more mainstream effort from Pegg and Frost downplays how entertaining and likeable this film is.
