Just came out of the new Simon Pegg/ Nick Frost collaboration - Paul. And I enjoyed it. It lacked Edgar Wrights zippy direction for sure and you could tell it was USA financed, but I laughed a lot. If you're a sci-fi fan like me, a lot of the humour was derived from previous film references and I found myself laughing out loud on my own a couple of times. In a recent interview with the two leads they commented that they had to erm... dumb it down slightly for the studio... all I can say is it'll be interesting to see if there's any out-takes on the dvd..
Overall rating: *** 1/2
Good, but would've loved to seen an Edgar Wright version.
