Download, Watch online Paul Movie.

It is not that Paul is in any way a bad movie. It is just a very average one.

So very sorry that I watched this movie

I watched much of what Simon Pegg has done and found it to be veryclever in an understated manner, probably the British in him. Thisthough was a Seth Rogen movie which is curse words and fart jokeshumor. This had such a chance to be funny and clever at such a highlevel but instead sunk to Seth Rogen's level. There seems to be a lotof people who like that and I am sure they pre-order the newestrecording of Larry The Cable Guy as soon as they can, but I am not afan. The acting was fine and the plot while overdone was OK, but therewas nothing to pull it together and for most part entirly and utterlywithout humor 95% of the time. I can't wait to get back to whenpervasive foul language was not funny and you need to actually beclever to write a script.

Homage to sci-fi movies

This review is from: Paul (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) (Blu-ray) This was a send up to sci-fi movies containing many obvious and some not so obvious references to ET, Star Trek, etc. I liked the irreverent alien, Paul, who is the center of all this. Sci-fi fans should enjoy this, but I can't say if others will. Appears that a lot of effort went into making Paul play seamlessly with his human co-stars and the effort worked well.

Some laughs, but shameless Spielberg worship

Two British sci-fi 'geeks', Graeme Willy and Clive Gollings (played bySimon Pegg and Nick Frost respectively), have gone to America, firstlyto Comic-con and then on to a road trip diverting to all UFO hot spotsin an RV. Whilst in the vicinity of area 51, they are run off the roadby an out-of-control car, which makes them careen onto the sand off-road. This is where they encounter Paul, a grey CGI alien escaped fromsaid area 51, on a mission to get back to the mothership. Paul has beenon Earth since 1947 when his ship crashed. Paul is a wise-ass talking,pot-smoking refugee from a distant planet who was sent here on ascience project. Graeme and Clive are sequestered into taking him tofind his way home. On their journey they pick up fundamentalistChristian Ruth (Kristen Wiig) from a trailer park. They are also on therun from the feds, led by Jason Bateman's Special Agent Lorenzo Zoil.And that's it really. Written by Pegg and Frost, you'd think it mayhave the same verve and contextual Britishness of humour as previouswork Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. However, like their charactershere, they have seemed to Americanise themselves so that they can oneday 'make it' over the pond. It is therefore a very American affair,complete with the fitting stylised emotional 'arcs' of the characters.Don't get me wrong, there are some very funny moments in the film. Suchas Paul stating that he gets his weed from the US Military, which is sostrong that it killed Bob Dylan; "But he's not dead". Paul answers"That's what you think" (or something along those lines). I reallyliked the t-shirt worn by Ruth showing an image of Jesus shootingDarwin with the statement 'evolve this' underneath. But unfortunatelymany of the gags are derived from reference.This brings me to the main thing that Pegg as a writer has consistentlydone since the brilliant TV series Spaced. Whilst the film referencesin Shaun and Fuzz were at times subtle, in both Spaced and Paul, theyare nothing of the sort, kicking you in the face with theirobviousness. Paul might as well be an hour and a half of Pegg and Frostgiving Spielberg and Lucas a big massive w**k. (Spielberg also gives avocal cameo in the film) References to all Spielberg's Sci-fi output,along with, of course Star Wars, are so tritely signposted that itmight as well hold signs up stating "We love you Spielberg/Lucas,please suck my c**k!" Many of the characters lines are simply liftedfrom 80's fodder such as Aliens (Sigorney Weaver has a cameo) andRobocop, to name just two. But most gag/references are kept for the aweof said child/directors as previously stated.The two main characters are likable, but they just seem so clichéd.They may as well be lifted (particularly Peggs character) from Spaced.And Seth Rogen voicing Paul is amusing at times, but just falls shortas its just another all-too-obvious stoner character for him. Pegg andFrost chose wisely (if they chose at all) to hire Gregg Motola todirect the film, whose previous films were the actually funny Superbadand Adventureland. He brought with him the the ensemble of actors usedregularly in the Apatow group, but the script is just not good enoughto give the characters much to do. Perfect example being, the usuallyexcellent Bill Hader, who in my opinion stole the show in Superbad asone-of-the-boys police Officer Slater. So it simply seems that thesetalents were absolutely wasted.Well, in summary, the film definitely has some genuine laughs, but justseems to leave great streams of pearl necklaces on the faces of thosefilmmakers who revived (or ruined) Hollywood filmmaking from 1975onwards. Ha Ha, funny.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com

Believe it: Pauly Shore's Funnier

Even with the worse comedy, occasionally, I'll laugh – admittedly ornot – at least once, such as the wretched Vampires Suck. Though, 2011'sPaul almost held the record of the first ZERO-laugh comedy I've everseen, it still took until about the one hour, fifteen-sixteen minutemark for me to finally laugh. (Wiig's character exclaims: "It's okay;he's alive" and runs.) And I'll even note two more "huh"s – as inchuckles, one immediately before the credits and one during thecredits.The movie's 104 minutes long and waiting 75 minutes into a COMEDY forthe only laugh, is pathetic.Marketing should take some of the blame – all the "funny" scenes werein the trailers. But even then, they looked only mildly amusing. Infact, the only reason I wanted to see this is because of the fantasticteam of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost – both of whom are responsible to thehilarious and highly superior Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Perhapsthey're just not welcome in the USA where this was shot and takesplace.Speaking of the English duo, they were horribly miscast here. EVENthough they helped write it. You know…you don't have to star in thesame vehicle you helped write.Maybe I'm being a bit harsh on the "miscasting" comment. Allow me torephrase: literally anyone could've played these roles, but if I had mypick, it would've been Michael Cera and his Superbad costar Johan Hill.At least then…I would've laughed more than a dozen times. Guaranteed.So, what was it that made an all-star/all-around cast that's usuallyhilarious become as much of a dud as the recent performance of "TheSituation" on Comedy Central's Donald Trump Roast?Was it the references too overwhelming that made this film almostunbearable? I can only imagine that the Pegg/Frost team are probablynot that familiar with the "American Sci-Fi" universe and inserted thetop 20 (and yeah, 20 difference references, maybe more) searches onGoogle. They got so tedious and an actual distraction, all I couldthink of was a feature length film set in a bar called "CHEERful" andalong with the numerous Sam/Diane look alikes, you'll have a bartendernamed Moe, prank calls from a punk kid asking for "Mr. I.P. Freely," abeagle named "Regal" and the only thing served on the menu are "blueoysters."And speaking of which…don't get me started on the constant andmean-spirited "fag" jokes that certainly weren't funny at first and gotprogressively repugnant as the movie wore on. We get it: two bestfriends go on holiday together overseas and they simply must be gay, or"fags" as the secondary characters call them. They made it an obviousstatement that they hate God, but they further pushed the line withtheir homophobia as well. You'd think someone that was against Godwould also be pro-gay. (Yes, I know they backtracked with statingPaul's planet is completely bisexual, but after that's revealed, theycoast back into the gay bashing gag…for the tenth time.)Another horse they beat to death was the swearing. Ha ha ha ha, Ifollow the juvenile humor, and at times, in other movies that can becomical, but here, it was frankly not amusing. Kristen Wiig'scharacter, Ruth, is released from the Holy Book and has a "rip roaring"time by saying "nasty" words at inappropriate times. Honestly, shelooked almost embarrassed to say her cuss-laced lines after thefiftieth time.Two nerd BFFs, Graeme (Pegg) and Clive (Frost) make it their dream tovisit both a Sci-Fi convention and then scope out the most clichéd"alien" spots when all of a sudden, they find a real life alien! NamedPaul! Are you laughing yet? Perhaps not, so they throw those darnedSci-Fi references that would be more appropriate in a 22-minute episodeof Family Guy.At any rate, they need to transport Paul, the "anti-probing" crudecliché, from one spot to his departure spot, à la (many, but let's justsay) E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial's finale. And putting inreference/side gag Steven Spielberg in this not only wasn't funny, butnow I don't feel bad about bashing his wife in my recent Indiana Jonesand the Temple of Doom review.All the while, they're chased by more bumbling doofuses and let theslapstick begin!Not really. But it does make this seem like a perfect family movie andvirtually harmless. Well, aside from the five hundred curse words,sexual references, nude shots – okay, just from CGI-Paul and deathscenes. It's almost like they did have a "sweet-hearted" film, butthought: That doesn't sell!I will confess in the movie's defense: it wasn't the worst I've seen. Ididn't get as annoyed or p/ssed as I usually get when a movie getsprogressively worse or even less funny – if that was possible in thisexample. (Correction: I did get thoroughly frustrated with both thecompletely thoughtless gay-gags and one of the biggest references: thecharacter "The Big Guy" who's only heard on a radio until the finaleand we're supposed to be "surprised" when we find out who that was. Ifyou don't know that is from minute one, then this is, in fact, yourfirst "Sci-Fi" film. And that's sad.)For the most part I just stared blankly at the screen. Not necessarilywith disgust – as I do often with humorless comedies – but with boredomand a dash of sadness. Pegg/Frost probably just had an off day…if ittook even that long to write this.

I'd rather watch Mac and Me again.

Pegg & Frost's latest outing goes grey with it's new comedy, Paul. Thetwo pals head to Comic-Con and are living life when they stumble uponPaul, an on-the-run alien who's looking for a little assistance. He'sbeing chased by dingus FBI agents, and basically, that's it. Save Paul,learn life-lessons along the way. Ugh.Gotta admit, this didn't do much for me. Besides the treasure trove ofmovie nods this movie dishes out, there are only a couple redeemingaspects. Of course, the acting is solid, as all involved are trulytalented actors. Well, I should say Simon and Nick weren't that funny,as they wrote this thing, and only fanboys and poindexters will trulyfind this worthwhile.There's lot here to complain about. Be it the lackluster bad guys chasegood guys, or the reliance on hearing Paul or whatsherface swear tomake you laugh, or the super lame gay jokes....it was just a totalwash. And how many times did they use the triple boob joke? The film had a nice light vibe about it all, which will sucker youright along with it, but the filler - the cliché filler combined withthe very disappointing writing, will have many people (probably not youthough, because you GET humor) feeling pretty let-down. I know I was.And this leads me into my college approved thesis for my Film Studiesclass - the Mac and Me vs. Paul throwdown! As I mentioned earlier, more than any other aspect of the film, theysucceeded big time on the movie nod front. They even said the word,'Butthorn'. Only a select few will know where that's from. They alsomentioned the film Mac and Me - a timeless classic family movie thatrevolves around a little alien connecting with a little handicapped boyall while trying to find his family. What I'm trying to get at is, whatis the better of the two films? Paul, a big-budget scifi/action comedywith big name stars, or Mac and Me, a average budget film that issponsored by Coca-Cola products? Let's get it on!Paul has swear words, Mac and Me does not. But Paul relies on swearswords for laughs, and that's never a good thing. Mac wins this round.Paul the alien is voiced by Seth Rogen; a bulbous Jew who sounds likehe has a toad in his throat. Mac is a non-speaking alien played by someno name actor that communicates by whistling. Mac wins again.There is a dance sequence in Paul where they dance to crappy musicaround a camp-fire. In Mac and Me there is a legendary dance scene at aMcDonalds with break-dancing and awesome 80s beats. Mac + 1.Paul has a mediocre sounding mainstream soundtrack. Mac and Me has asoundtrack with amazing ballads and again, awesome 80s tunes. Mac forthe win again.Paul is a comedy that tries to splice in dramatic elements to noaffect; it's neither funny (minus a couple giggles) nor emotional. Macand Me is a family film that delivers an emotional roller-coaster of aride as you watch Mac's family starve to death and Mac himself suffertremendously. Mac with another easy win.Paul like Mac had some action in it. Paul had a couple shoot-outs andsome car stunts. Mac has a stunt where a dude in a wheelchair jumps offa cliff into a quarry, another stunning wheelchair stunt in high-speedtraffic, huge explosions, chased by dogs....Paul is about an obnoxious alien who has the heart of a frat boy. Hesmokes, swears, and make witty quips. Mac is a curious little fella whodoesn't complain, drinks soda, eats skittles, and can whistle dixie inyour face! Mac!Paul has special abilities. He turns invisible, can pass knowledge toothers by physical means, and can heal living beings. Mac can whistle,break-dance, stretch his limbs, roll like a ball, flatten like apancake, put his hands into the position of a 'big vagina' ala LarryDavid to communicate with his family, is fire-proof, AND can healliving beings. Beat that hot shot! Enough is enough. The bottom line here is Paul was a disappointing filmthat didn't bring anything new or cool or funny to the table. Mac andMe, is hard to beat in any comparison.

Eric Melin 13 May 2012

It doesn't have any of the invention of the pair's last two outings. Overall, Paul is a genial, unremarkable movie that skates by on its charm.

12 May 2012

Beam me up!!!!

This show is great if you like Sci-Fi? It is hillarious from start to finish. Paul is a true down to earth Alein with a foul mouth, so it's not a kids show.Have fun with him and prepare to laugh!!!!!!

Drew McWeeny 11 May 2012

The film delivers laughs and heart and some strong ideas and energy...

After lampooning the cop-buddy and zombie flick genre, Pegg and Frost take their turn to meet E.T and do the same.

Shaun of the Dead – great. Hot Fuzz – brilliant. Paul, The thirdcollaboration between the two best friends Simon Pegg and Nick Frost isanother action-packed comedy featuring an alien, guns, and JasonBateman. Unlike the previous films the pair starred in, Paul still hasthe strong bromance between the two but takes a turn to be more of whatScott Pilgrim Vs the World was instead of Hot Fuzz.Scott Pilgrim – directed by Edgar Wright who also directed the firsttwo films mentioned – was a geek-friendly action comedy. Paul is moreof a geek-friendly comedy. It's crude, so think Superbad (Greg Mottolahad directed that too) instead of Shaun. Then add the whole 'comic'tone of Scott Pilgrim – the great action scenes but less violent andamusing ones instead, and two geeks who are into comics rather than inthe comic like Scott Pilgrim was. And add E.T gone comedy with thevoice of Seth Rogen. Plus add a cameo from Sigourney Weaver. Then youhave Paul, a geeky, clever, and very funny film but simultaneously youthen have its problem.As you could probably figure from the description above, the problembeing said is that Paul tries to pack too much in during the encounterwith the alien itself. The running time is a perfect 104 minutes. Butby the end of those 104 minutes, there are several suggested sub-plotsand alternate directions that could have been taken to reach thedestination. One sub-plot involves Paul shattering Ruth's (KristenWiig) faith. It's an odd film to have a religious subtext in and itwill maybe have questions thrown at in terms of what message is tryingto be said. Nevertheless, those 104 minutes are brimmed with pureentertainment and the plot is established enough to make sense and nottake a wrong turn.With an ensemble cast, what makes Paul especially hilarious is howevery character in the film has a moment of comedy gold. That includesAdam Stevenson – famous writer whom they meet at a Comic-Con festivaland simply has five on-screen minutes. Five amusing on-screen minutes.Pegg and Frost are as funny as they were before, fizzing chemistry overArea 51, still the brilliant duo that work better than Pegg and AndySerkis did in Pegg's last film Burke and Hare. They're buddies withmutual buddy-love that are better together than most odd pairings. It's(probably) guaranteed that they will stay as the best British duo evenoff-screen as Thomson and Thompson in the upcoming Tintin film which isto be directed by veteran sci-fi director Steven Spielberg. It'sreported that Pegg and Frost said that Paul was a love letter toSpielberg – it sure is an amusing one, and is certainly the bestValentine-themed film this Valentine's Day.The pair wrote the screenplay for this film – so expect manycontemporary references – plenty of sci-fi ones – and clever gags. Attimes, the jokes can feel a little self indulgent; inside jokes thatwould probably confuse most and only careful listeners can interpretthe clever jokes. The majority of the script, however, is alaugh-a-minute ride with some recurring jokes that become funnier andfunnier throughout. Paul's part of the script gives a big L to TheGreen Hornet; Seth Rogen was much funnier off screen. The actor wasmiscast as the green superhero so there were dreads of him beingmiscast as this green amiable alien but kudos to Pegg and Frost becausethis was the perfect script for Rogen to show that The Green Hornet'sfailed hilarity wasn't detrimental. Looking at another view, if Rogenwas the screenwriter for Paul, then maybe it would have been of thedull standard of the Hornet unless he can still write something on parwith Superbad. Imagine that.Paul may be a funnier film for the more clever/geeky viewer. If that'sthe case, the words 'Cult Following' can be seen written all over it.For all other audience, Pegg and Frost haven't diminished in theircomedy quality from their previous films even though Paul may bebroader than either of them. If Scott Pilgrim was the geekiest film oflast year, Paul definitely wins that title for this year. It may not bean Out of This World film (pun partially intended) but lays claim tothe most hilarious film of 2011 yet.Verdict: Your money's worth – Paul is the funniest film there has beenin ages.Find Musanna's Film Reviews @ musannaahmed.blogspot.com

Boring, boring, and boring

Have never seen a science fiction, alien, or comedy film this boring - it's boring from the very beginning to the very end even with an alien in the film to spice it up - hard to believe!

Mark Adams 10 May 2012

Smart and savvy.

Matthew Turner 09 May 2012

An enjoyable, well written sci-fi comedy that's packed with great gags, geek-pleasing film references and a host of terrific performances from a talented comic cast.

Lots of belly laughs!

This review is from: Paul (Amazon Instant Video) Ignore the religious nut & their review. It's just a movie dude, lighten up, it's not to be taken seriously! If you like movies such as "Shaun Of The Dead" you'll love this. Really funny & the effects are just great. Paul pokes fun at lots of subjects & does it in a non-offensive, comical way. There's a lot of cussing, lots of action, great story, hilarious characters, what more can you want from a lighthearted, well made movie?

Son_Of_Hercules 09 May 2012

Needs more nerd!

It was a decent movie. It had a couple of really funny scenes. Butthere wasn't enough of the geek stuff. I wish they would have spentmore time at the Comic Con and nerded it up a little more. Theirobservations and humor were spot on. I thought Paul himself should havebeen a little more alien. He seemed like Seth Rogan but with a bigpurple head. He could have almost been any generic slacker dude. Pegg &Frost are a great team and Kristen Wiig was good in her part, as usual.I could actually see the three of them making another movie together.They had good chemistry.I was thinking that maybe they wanted to make a movie that wouldattract the genre fans but also not alienate the general movie watchingaudience.

Sci Fi spoof of the year

I loved this movie. Have been a fan of Pegg and Frost since Shaun ofthe Dead and enjoy their genius ability to spoof a genre and still makea thoroughly entertaining and funny movieThis time it's ET, Close Encounters .. , Alien and others that arelined up and blown out of the water, along with Roswell the FBI andcomic book and gaming nerds. but all done with impeccably good Britishtaste and style.Seth Rogan (and I'm not usually a fan of his) is superb as the voice ofthe Alien Paul of the title, and a cameo from Sigourney Weaver completea superb cast who all acquit themselves well.The story is set around two British nerds doing a UFO themed tour ofthe US which starts at a Comic-Con convention. As they take to the roadthey encounter Paul who is being pursued by 'agents'. The chase heatsup and other kooky characters join in and become part of the ensuingmayhem. I'll say no more... go see.My only complaint is the overuse of bad language expletives far toooften, and although effective on a few occasions are, largelyunnecessary. and detract from an otherwise excellent script.

Robert Roten 08 May 2012

This is a love letter, a very funny love letter, to science fiction films like 'Aliens' and 'E.T.'

A Fun Summer Movie

This review is from: Paul (Amazon Instant Video) Suspend disbelief and judgement and just enjoy this great movie written by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, Paul starts off at the San Diego Comic Con and goes on a spoof filled ride across UFO land. Irreverantly written, it is filled with nods to landmark scifi films of the past and glorifies convention geeks of all kinds. LOL! sums this film nicely.

Edgar, where art thou

I've been a long time fan of Pegg/Frost/Wright stuff, ever since Spacedcame out. I'm gonna say it right away that I don't like most of themovies that the Apatow crew is putting out, altho Superbad was amongthe better ones and Adventureland wasn't bad either.The premise with Paul is great if you forget who's directing it. It'sgot all the ingredients. Geeks and nerds, sci-fi, road movie, Pegg andFrost, cameos, good budget. And it is pretty good at times, but still Ican't help but feel that it was a missed opportunity.So what's wrong with it? It's made for (American) teens, there's waytoo many gay and anal jokes, they had to include marijuana, straight upbashing of Christianity, the unnecessarily bloody scene in the end. Ican't help but feel that the script has gone through a treatment afterPegg and Frost have written it, since none of the earlier Pegg/Wrightmovies had these elements. Sure, Shaun of the Dead was bloody, but thatwas the whole point of the movie.I also had a problem with the casting, my impression of Wiig is as faras you can go from the character she portrays early in the movie. Theactors that are all over Apatow movies just don't have that certainhumbleness and sincerity.Bottom line is that I think it's dumb to make a movie with teeny jokeswith actors who are already going on 40. And it's not the whole moviethat sucks, I just feel they should've cut some of the jokes out andreplaced them with some real substance. Wright and Pegg showed in Shaunof the Dead that they're capable of creating comedy, horror AND drama,but this lacks the drama completely.I also recently watched Wrights Hollywood entry Scott Pilgrim. I thinkhe succeeds much better, the movie has a heart and is clearly aimed ata younger audience. The movie had a much better casting too, with muchmore realistic characters.

I liked "Paul"!

"Paul," directed by "Superbad" Greg Motolla, is a great movie! I missedit at the theaters earlier this year, even though it starred (and waswritten by) "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" stars/co-writers SimonPegg and Nick Frost. "Paul" is their latest collaboration of bringingBritish-style humor to us tasteless Americans. "Paul" begins in 1947(note the year, which is the same as the famous Roswell, New Mexico,alien-crash-landing controversy), when an alien spacecraft crash-landsin Wyoming, right on top of some poor little girl's beloved GoldenRetriever Paul.64 years later, British sci-fi nerds Graeme Willy (Pegg) and CliveGollings (Frost) are on a tour the American Southwest, the heartland of(alleged) UFO activity in the country. In their travels in afully-loaded RV, that's when they come across a genuine Little GreenMan from another planet, the smart-ass alien "Paul" (voiced by SethRogen, continuing his likable slacker shtick in CGI form), the sameextraterrestrial who crash-landed back in Wyoming back in 1947 and hasbeen named after the dog he accidentally crushed to death.It turns out that when Paul first arrived here, he was detained by themilitary and was able to provide all of his knowledge to the governmentand subsequently influence more than half a century of pop culture (Mr.Spielberg, you devil, you!). Paul has unfortunately outlived hisusefulness and the scientists who detained him are eager to learn moreabout his abilities. This would unfortunately include the dissection ofhis brain, and is also the reason why he is now a fugitive on the runfrom the government, and is on his way to a rendezvous with themother-ship from his home planet in - you guessed it - Devil's Tower inWyoming (the famous location of the human-extraterrestrial rendezvousin 1977's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind").But Paul is no ordinary extraterrestrial. He proves to be quiteintelligent, but has obviously picked up a few bad habits by givinginto American slacker culture over the course of his 64-yeardetainment. He has an extremely limited vocabulary, has a fondness forpot and booze, but is still incredibly likable and even sympathetic,like some of the best and most memorable movie aliens. In fact, Rogen'sportrayal of Paul could in some way be considered a deconstruction of,or even a parody of, movie aliens (like the ones made famous by Mr.Spielberg in "Close Encounters" and "E.T., the Extraterrestrial").And even though Sigourney Weaver pops up here in a thankless villainrole as a high-ranking government agent known only as "The Big Guy" (itshould really be "The Big Gal," but I digress) she does in fact getsome of the movie's best and funniest lines and is in fact quite afunny actress in her own right; I knew that anyway, since she is myfavorite actress, after all, in a role that's a complete 180 from myfavorite movie of hers, "Aliens" (1986), which also gets skewered here.And Jason Bateman, Bill Hader, and Joe Lo Truglio turn in hilarious(and self-knowing) performances as bumbling government agents hot onPaul's trail."Paul" is a great adventure-comedy/road movie with a sci-fi twist. Theacting from Simon Pegg and Nick Frost is brilliant, as they both werepreviously in the aforementioned "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz."Now here is where things get personal for this reviewer. In regards tosome of the unnecessary controversy directed at this movie, someviewers have also expressed concern with the character of Ruth (KristenWiig), a Bible-thumping fundamentalist Christian woman whose faith isshaken by her time with Paul. It's a comedy, folks, and this is comingfrom someone with a Christian background, but is now more spiritual andphilosophical than overtly religious.That does not mean, however, that I do not believe in the existence ofGod, or a "god." That also does not mean that I do not believe in theexistence of extraterrestrial life. In fact, I personally find itoffensive and a slight to God to NOT believe in the existence of otherforms of intelligent life in the universe besides us measly humans; theuniverse is constantly expanding, new planets and galaxies are beingdiscovered everyday, and there's just no way to believe anymore with astraight face that we are the pinnacle of God's masterwork. In fact, itcould be argued that there's proof within "The Holy Bible" itself ofmankind's past encounters with extraterrestrials; read the first andtenth chapters of "The Book of Ezekiel" for further reference.But, whatever; this is all just my honest, humble opinion. If you find"Paul" offensive, then just don't watch the movie, and that's all itis: a movie, a movie about a smart-talking, pot-smoking, slacker aliennamed "Paul."8/10
