‘PAUL’ Written by: Simon Pegg & Nick Frost
Movie Review Directed by: Greg Mottola
By: Laura Higginbotham
I’m writing this review to post on the site, as a celebration of the movie's release on Valentine’s Day in 2011, in the U.K. I, myself, am not in the U.K. but it’s as good an excuse as any. PAUL is my all-time favorite movie and I’ve seen a LOT of movies!
‘PAUL’ is written by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, who also star in the film. This is a madcap comedy that keeps you on your toes wondering what is going to happen next. Paul is an alien who Simon and Nick's characters meet, and then the fun begins. Paul is an interesting character portrayed by the voice of Seth Rogen, who is perfect in the role and completely encompasses the character, bringing him to life. I forget I am listening to Seth!
As a major fan of Simon, I can tell you that if you somehow missed this one you are missing out. If you can get your hands on a copy of the DVD, watch the add-on ‘Simon Pegg's Funny Faces'. It is HILARIOUS!!! The movie is packed with stars, which I will not reveal who and spoil it for you. You can find that out for yourself.
I love Simon Pegg and Nick Frost equally in their physical humor in ‘PAUL’, (and ‘Hot Fuzz'), sooo good. I also love the writing and the storyline, and the cinematography is terrific. I don’t know directing, but with all of the good acting going on I’ll bet it’s terrific also.
I think ‘PAUL’ would be enjoyed by all those who appreciate sketch comedy shows such as ‘Saturday Nite Live’ and ‘Mad TV’, and of course science fiction films since it is a Sci-Fi comedy. There is a lot of subtlety that you need to watch closely for making it fun to watch over and over. My husband and I watch it every time it comes on, plus we own the DVD, plus his movie geek friend put it on a stick drive for us... Each time we see it we notice something new and laugh hysterically.
I would love to see a sequel as it seems perfectly set up for one. My only feeling of anything even resembling disappointment is that the film ends at all! ‘PAUL' is an awesome movie. Get it. You won’t be sorry you did.
