Paul

Great song? Good show? Bad movie? What should be enjoyed and what should be avoided.

Paul

Paul is a silly scifi movie that has been on my cable a lot lately. It has grown on me, it's cute.

It is a Simon Pegg effort. Two Brits are driving around the USA in an RV exploring the UFO scene. They meet an alien, and zaniness ensues. I guess it is a kind of chase scene movie and a buddy movie. I enjoyed at the end as they resolve each character, in particular "The Big Guy".

I don't remember much about it but we saw it a few years ago and I remember liking it very much at the time. Maybe it's worth watching again.

I liked it too. Usually, Seth Rogen gets on my nerves but he's much more enjoyable as voice-only.
Lot's of little nods to sci-fi classics and culture.

My absolute favorite moment was the handling of The Big Guy, but the best part of that was as they were boarding the ship, one of the crew was hosing off the gangway steps.

Loved the reuse of a classic Aliens line there.
