Review of Paul (2011) by Thomas P — 18 Jul 2016

Hilarious start, lame finish.

Actually, fresh first 15, stale all the rest.

Even the extended guest list goes flat as if the director kept yelling - ok, be funny...NOW! And it.

Didnt work at all.

Not sure where the magic ended exactly, but it delves into an unnecessary f-bomb fest, as if that's funny.

None of the usual funny ppl have an ounce of humor here - a head scratcher.

So much talent somehow completely wasted here - only Kristen Wiig gets a few chuckles about being high and hungry, but still a little stale.

Go see At Worlds End w Simon Pegg, and DO NOT read a thing about it.

I saw it on the big screen without any prior knowledge and it rocked my world.

Warning, lots of f-bombs, but played for laughs - unlike here.

I had big hopes and wanted to just enjoy it, but was confounded by its pedestrian pace and lackluster quote-unquote comedy.

1 nervously sweaty alien out of 5.
