PAUL
What a waste of talent. The film falls flat on almost every level. The jokes feel dated and it is easily Nick Frost & Simon Pegg’s worst efforts as both actors and writers. It really is a disappointment on multiple levels. The only saving grace in this film is Seth Rogen’s voice over as Paul because if it weren’t fort him, the film would be all but dead in the water. If you must see it, wait to watch it on TV, but just skip it and instead rewatch Hot Fuzz & Shaun of the Dead until Frost & Pegg reunite with Edgar Wright to finish the “Blood & Ice Cream Trilogy”.
