The Bouw-Man.
The duo of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have already made two better than average comedies together with “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz.” Although both films may not necessarily be “comedy classics,” they were both done in such a clever way that you could deem them memorable. With their newest edition, “Paul,” they appear to be going a little sillier than with their previous two. The trailer paints the picture of two geeks who stumble upon a wise-cracking alien while on a road trip to “Area 51.” One can only assume that they will eventually form a bond with the alien (“Paul”), and will help protect him from the government officials trying to capture “Paul.”
The cast appears to be relatively strong with the likes of Jeffrey Tambor, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Sigourney Weaver, Jason Bateman, Jane Lynch and even Steven Spielberg scheduled to make an appearance. Seth Rogan, who has made a habit of supplying his voice to several animated characters in the past, will no doubt have some funny one-liners with his role as the alien “Paul.” Like with “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz,” I think it’s safe to bet on Pegg and Frost providing a decent brand of entertainment with “Paul.” It may not win any awards, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth the price of an admissions ticket.
Opening Weekend Gross: $13 Million
Noodles: Prediction
This is a situation where the cast alone makes me think I might like the picture. From the trailer it seems like this would be a straight to DVD throw away comedy if it were anybody but the guys from 'Hot Fuzz' and Seth Rogen starring. As it stands I could think of crazier things to do this weekend than going to see this movie.
