Paul (2011)

 5/10 interesting, fun but not a masterpiece

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost teams up again to bring Paul but this film did not have the same comedy quality as Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. I was a bit disappointed with Paul actually and found it to be a bit crude and dragging.

Paul is lingered with some comedic elements but is definitely not high brow comedy. The jokes are very on the surface and at times vulgar that a PG 13 audience may find offensive. Paul does make many sci-fi references and creates much joke around it.The jokes scratched the surface but failed to really make the film memorable.

I didn't enjoy Paul as much as I enjoyed Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead. I felt Paul didn't have the thrilling, suspenseful, dark comedy elements that the other two had.

I recommend this to those who love sci-fi and all things comic/nerd otherwise skip it and watch Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead.
