Paul
Directed by Greg Mottola
For the past 60 years, a space-traveling smart-ass named Paul has been locked up in a top-secret military base, advising world leaders about his kind. But when he worries he’s outlived his usefulness and the dissection table is drawing uncomfortably close, Paul escapes on the first RV that passes by his compound in Area 51. Fortunately, it contains the two earthlings who are most likely to rescue and harbor an alien on the run.

Paul Ratings & Reviews
- ርልዪረJanuary 29, 2025👽Although Pegg and Frost did not have the help of Edgar Wright writing and/or directing this movie, it manages to capture alot of the flair from the Cornetto Trilogy. It clearly misses some of that "Wright-flair" but that does not make this movie much worse... just a bit different. Pegg and Frost are hilarious as always and the other actors are great aswell. Both funny and believable, at least for the kind of ridiculous comedy this is! Many laughs were had. If you like the Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End) you're very likely to enjoy this film!
- ZokkiieJanuary 30, 2026This is a super laid-back sci-fi comedy that just wants to have fun, and it totally pulls it off. The jokes are dumb, nerdy, and surprisingly charming, with a bunch of legit laugh-out-loud moments. The friendship at the center gives it some real heart instead of feeling like just nonstop gags. It drags a tiny bit in the middle, but the good vibes make up for it. Overall, it’s a goofy, feel-good watch that’s perfect for a chill movie night
- stuhannafordDecember 26, 2025It’s not overly funny, certainly not laugh out loud, but it has a good hearted feel to it throughout. Lots of nods to movies of old, but it never quite feels nostalgic enough. Some, if not a lot of the humour probably won’t sit well with a lot of audiences of a more ‘modern’ disposition, but will do enough to raise a smile from most at some point.
