3. 3/10. Oh what goes wrong when personal views get in the way of creativity. Paul could've been great, could've been one great mix of sci fi and comedy. Instead it's a blend of vulgar language, drugs usage, stereotypes of Christians and flat out mockery of religion. I only have this to laugh at how bad it is. It sits on one of my three shelves for movies labeled "So Bad They're Amusing To Watch And Laugh At. "

Paul is a silly, humor-packed film about a pair of British friends on vacation who come to the U.S.A. to take in a comic-con and enjoy following the "UFO trail" in the Midwest when they run into Paul, a sometimes rude, crude but overall harmless and friendly extraterrestrial who has been grilled for decades by mysterious government types eager to exploit his knowledge and abilities. The film is an extended chase romp with lots of nerdy pop culture references, stoner jokes, some foul language, and plenty of poking fun at anything to do with aliens. Seth Rogan provides the voice of Paul, while Simon Pegg and Nick Frost play his new friends who try to keep Paul from falling back into the clutches of "the big guy" (Sigourney Weaver of the Alien franchise) and her minions. Puerile fun, though I'd suggest Parental Guidance for drug use and references, strong language/profanity and adult humor, and some mostly mild violence.

Continuity mistake: When the bird first hits the RV, a blood stain is visible on the windshield. But on the exterior shot of the RV as it stops, the blood has disappeared. (00:26:50)

Paul: To you I am, yes.
Graeme Willy: Are you gonna probe us?
Paul: *Why* does everyone always assume that? What am I doing? Am I harvesting farts? How much can I learn from an ass?

Question: Being unable to believe Paul's existence, Clive attacked Paul by gripping his throat in the RV. Then Paul said "That's my fucking jorph. Get your fucking fingers out of there! If I get a jorph infection, you're dead!" What exactly does jorph mean? Where does the word come from?

Answer: Since Paul is an alien, his race would probably give their body parts names that are in their own native language. To humans, we have throats. To Paul's race, jorph is their word for throat.

It cannot be a throat as it is an opening, it is more likely an opening that acts like a human ear.
