Watch Last Stop for Paul For Free

Pretty Good

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

What an amazingly made movie. If you don't know the story behind the film, here it is. Director Neil Mandt set out with cinematographer Marc Carter and just one camera. They went around the world to different countries filming themselves and other people. Somehow, they managed to use this method to make a great movie. Don't ask me how they accomplished this. Last Stop for Paul is full of great characters, stories and settings. It's pure eye candy. As a film student, I found this movie to be very inspirational. It got me to believe that I might actually be able to make a good film. This is the future of film-making here and it's a beautiful future indeed.

Last Stop for Paul follows two traveling friends (Charlie and Cliff) on their journey to fulfill their dead friend's dream of traveling the world. They take his ashes in a thermos (which is a hilarious scene in the movie) and head out. They have many cool adventures along the way. They pretend to be writers for Frommer's travel guide and get free rooms. They go to Jamaica and meet some troublesome hotties. They almost fly off a mountain in a broken down van and Charlie gets marooned on a boat in Thailand. All of this is leading up to an amazing party called The full moon party in Thailand. Geesh,I want to go there. The film is shot guerrilla-style and is very enjoyable and super cutting edge. I saw that it's won a ton of awards and can't believe it's not much more popular than it already is. In time, it will be though. This film will be a cult classic. There is no doubt about that.

What an ingenious way to make a film. Mandt, the director of this film, made this movie with a brief outline and a lot of guts. He traveled to countless countries, taught amazingly interesting locals how to act and somehow managed to make an engaging film in the process. The movie is about two friends that travel the world, spreading the ashes of a dead friend everywhere they go and posing as writers for Frommers travel guides in order to scam free hotel rooms. It's about storytelling above all else. Just interesting, funny and touching stories about traveling. I heard that most of the stories are true, which makes this film even better. The editor of the movie even acts in it. When you watch the film, it's hard to tell that it isn't just reality. But you learn from the credits, that it took a lot of rehearsal from the locals to get them to act in the scenes. I don't want to spoil the movie. Just go see it. It's a very enriching experience.

I saw this movie at a festival and wasn't expecting much, but WOW. This movie totally blew me away. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but it's about two guys that travel the world and learn a lot about life. Along the way, they meet a lot of cool people and it's really hilarious and touching. It's so awesome because they use all the natives of the locations as actors. It really reminded me of what Werner Herzog does. Just working with people from other countries and using what they do for the story. It gives the movie a very realistic feel and almost seems like a documentary. Very innovative, exciting and always entertaining. I HIGHLY recommend you see this movie. 10/10
