Paul (2011)

Director: Greg Mottola
Writers:  Simon Pegg, Nick Frost
Cast:      Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Seth Rogen (Voice of Paul), Jason Bateman
Pegg and Frost stars as two English comic book geeks travelling across the US who encounter an alien outside Area 51. The alien named Paul need to escape from Earth and they try to help him do that.

The film is like a well mannered spoof on Spielberg's films of 80s. I haven't seen ET and close encounters but still Paul is a very enjoyable watch even though it does not each the level of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Good to see Jason Bateman getting good roles after 'Arrested Development' and there is a cameo by Steven Spielberg's voice as himself.

Rating: 4/5
