Aliens can never be the same again.. Move over ET.. The greatest creature from outer world has arrived.. Simon Pegg and Nick frost have taken the idea of cute n' sweet alien and then punched ET's face with it.. The smoking, drinking, trash talking alien Paul is here everyone.. The quirky English comedy works.. This has to be the funniest alien movie I have seen. By far..
Paul is actually the name of the dog which is killed when the alien spaceship crashes. The name sticks and the alien is christened Paul. He talks in English fluently and its not the science fiction brain fuzz thing which enables him.. He just does. Thats bloody brilliant. I was tired of all the directors trying to show that aliens are alien to the technology we use. Sure, he has super power like other aliens do in other movies. but he is not that odd creature who is uncomfortable around earthlings.. and he doesn't have weird robotic way of talking. He uses more cuss words than a mobster in a Scorsese movie.. And he doesn't say "take me to your leader". He is the brain behind most alien stories for 70 years.. and now He is trying to escape from the leader, "the big guy" who is infact Sigourney Weaver (who does know a thing or two about aliens.)
The English nerds Graeme and Clive (Pegg and Frost) help him escape and are supported by a conservative christian who is shown the truth and a covert agent (Kristen Wiig and Jason Bateman). After the adrenalin filled journey, its the happy endding. The simple yet unpredictable storyline is carried very well by the cast.You sometimes feel that Seth Rogen actually tries to takes over Paul and ruin it.. But thankfully he has failed..
Simon Pegg.. What do I say.. the man cannot do anything wrong, can he? Blood and ice cream trilogy (Shaun of the dead, Hot Fuzz, third movie yet to come.) is awesome but he just went one step ahead with Paul... With his best buddy Frost, he creates his weird yet lovable creature. The chemistry between the two (three if you include the green wacky dude..) is very interesting to see. Their teamwork and effort is sincere.. More sincere than a group of college boys trying to get some weed.
Im going to give five out of five, ten out of ten, an A+, two thumbs up.. Whatever way you can put it.. It is not a family oriented movie.. But you can leave your family behind, go have fun. Trust me, you will have fun.
