Paul
For the past 60 years, a space-traveling smart-ass named Paul has been locked up in a top-secret military base, advising world leaders about his kind. But when he worries he’s outlived his usefulness and the dissection table is drawing uncomfortably close, Paul escapes on the first RV that passes by his compound in Area 51. Fortunately, it contains the two earthlings who are most likely to rescue and harbor an alien on the run.

Simply Perfect
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Finally a current story that seems to be another "aw gawd, not another sci fi". It's that and a really fine cast, great photography and again what a clever story. I don't mind seeing it whenever I feel like it. I've got a half dozen dependables (sp) which I can fall back on. What a great film. And really funny.
A little corny, but whatever! I enjoyed it! I'd also watch a sequel of this, as long as it continued to be lighthearted and funny. I watched this on the Sci-Fi channel and they had to bleep out the swearing, but you can figure out so easily just what they said. That was the only issue I had. Otherwise, it's a solid 6.5 stars from me!
This is one of the films that forces you to think as the author imagined, a lot of the stereotypes and weak arguments. It feels as if you are forced to listen to a stupid man that talks 2 hours. Yes, there are a few funny scenes, but it's transformed into "swill".It's not about whether you are religious or not, but the movie shows a forced belief of the author and without any arguments, but uses the stereotypes that are not really arguments. You feel like you are in the prison of stupidity. I really do not like movies like that. Also, it's very predictable, you just wait when it will happened, imposing the wrong model (drugs, bisexuality, "strong" language...).I think every film needs to have a lesson (final word) and this garbage have: smoke, be gay - it's fine, there's no God, drugs...Just do not waste time on this.
Huge fan of Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. They make a brilliant duo, they're the Action-Comedy kings, and this film proves it. Brilliant comedy, great voice-dubbing by Seth Rogen, surprisingly great action sequences and great original story. The directing was spectacular, the writing was great as well, and everything is handled fantastic. I'm definitely gonna watch this film again, had a blast with it, and basically anyone who loves comedy can enjoy it. A very humorous look at the mysteries behind Area 51. Greg Mottola really nailed the directing here, truly enjoyed that aspect. Other than that, my only issues with this film is that I wanted a little more background about Nick and Simon, and I wanted more background about The Big Guy, she felt kinda too mysterious and had a bit of an empty personality. Besides that, I really recommend this film, if you love either Nick and Simon or just a fan of Comedy- check it out.
