Paul

Sam and I went to see Paul last night after work. I was excited for the film as it stared Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Seth Rogen, Kristin Wiig, Bill Hader & Jason Bateman who are all great. Simon Pegg & Nick Frost's previous movies, especially Shawn of the Dead, are some of my favorite comedies. The basic plot of the movie is that Simon & Nick are 2 huge nerds from London who go to San Diego for Comic Con then a cheesy alien vacation road rip across the South West. They meet Paul, the voice of Seth Rogen, on the road and help him evade the law in an attempt to get home. Kristin Wiig was probably the funniest character as she plays a super religious daughter of a trailer park owner. Her religious beliefs are shaken by meeting Paul and she decides to make up for lost time on the whole moral front. She swears constantly for the rest of the movie with really graphic odd curses that can't help but make you laugh. She also gets a good on screen grab of Simons man meat that was so incredibly awkward and so not sexy that it was hilarious. Good cameos and a very well acted movie, while not consistently hilarious it definitely had its moments and was worth seeing.

My favorite part of the movie was when someone you wouldn't consider a big pot smoker made an unexpected drug reference and Sam blurted out really loudly and to the audiences amusement "What!? Weed!? HAHAHA!"
