Paul Reviews

Passable f-bomb riddled fanboy fare, a bit of a comedown from Frost and Pegg's British movies.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

Paul is probably the closest thing to Spaced that Pegg and Frost have made since Edgar Wright closed the book on Tim & Daisy.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

It's not a bad film by any means, it was just slightly disappointing especially when you take into account the talents of Pegg and Frost.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

Surprisingly smart and filled with homage, Paul is crass and a little rough around the edges, but thoroughly enjoyable.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10

Vale mucho más la pena ver (o volver a ver) alguno de los antecedentes de la dupla Simon Pegg y Nick Frost, como Shaun of the dead, Hot fuzz o la serie Spaced.

... A very funny movie with its heart in the right place.

Full Review | Original Score: B+

A refreshingly rollicking, sweetly raunchy comedy about a little green dude just trying to get home.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

The comic targets and the central manchildren bromance all feel overly familiar...Still, Paul benefits from Pegg and Frost's British comedic slant and the full complement of comedic talent... [Blu-ray]

Paul is slacker than the duo's previous efforts, but the gags still come thick and fast.

Pegg and Frost shoehorn in so many one-liners taken from other movies they're like embarrassing uncles at a wedding who have bet they can add a sci-fi twist to every conversation.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10

It's not the comedy of the year, but it counts as a fun night out at the movies.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

The poster is cute, the trailer cuter. "Paul" the movie? Don't ask.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are two guys who know what they like and whenever they turn their hands to writing a script, you can feel that enthusiasm in every line.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

Pegg and Frost have been better, but Paul is still good for a few laughs.

With so much reliable talent involved in this film it is extremely disappointing that it is only a mildly amusing comedy with a smattering of reasonably fun science-fiction references.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

While not as consistently funny or sharp as their previous pairings, Paul is a heartfelt tribute to friendship, what lies beyond the stars, and being a nerd.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

It is not that Paul is in any way a bad movie. It is just a very average one.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

Passably funny, though one suspects even diehard sci-fi buffs will find the film's wall-to-wall pop referencing tiring and a tad lazy. Doesn't anybody write genuine jokes any more?

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

Paul proves that these children of science fiction have bloomed into a rotten bunch indeed.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

This is a madcap ride with hilarious and occasionally touching references to many other films about aliens.
