“Paul”: A Hollywood Reporter Review

“Paul”: A Hollywood Reporter Review

February 8, 2011 By News Droid 1 Comment

The Hollywood Reporter has weighed in on the upcoming sci-fi comedy, “Paul.”

Here’s a sample of what they have to say.

Simon Pegg, who teamed with Edgar Wright to write the wonderful zombie spoof Shaun of the Dead and the much admired shoot ’em up horror lark Hot Fuzz, here partners with co-star Nick Frost to script a comedy creature feature that hits home with wit, invention and flare.

With great gags, lots of clever little moments and a winning, almost-human story at the center to leaven the big action sequences, the film should please devoted fans of the genre with its savvy attention to detail. But also it should appeal to those who generally can take or the leave the genre, which it treats with cheerful disrespect. Box-office riches lie in wait, as it is exactly the kind of film that fans will want to see more than once.

    My wife and I saw Paul today. We both thought it was real good. Lots of clever references to some classic SciFi genre films.
