Paul

"Paul" features Nick Frost (Clive) and Simon Pegg (Graeme) as life-long English buds who travel to America to attend Comicon in San Diego, and then they travel eastward in a RV to visit all the various locations with extraterrestrial reputations.  At it would happen, the pair actually do meet up with extraterrestrial life, and that would be Paul, an alien who does look remarkably like the usual visage of an alien: greenish skin, large bald head, large eyes, skinny body.  Paul is voice by Seth Rogen, and is remarkably versed in pop culture after being detained in Area 51 for many, many decades.  The reason why Calvin and Graeme stumble upon Paul is because Paul is finally make an escape attempt, and after coming to terms with Paul's presence, the pair agree to take Paul to the rendezvous point.  But it's not easy, as the FBI and the Secret Service are on the chase for Paul.

Tonally, the film's pretty light-hearted, but the plot is primarily chase-driven, with some good comedy bits sprinkled throughout, mainly through lots of cursing, and some alien-derived hijinks.  I enjoyed most of it, and it'll be a staple for geek cinema culture for years to come.

I give it 2.75 stars, or a grade of B-.
