Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Muchie If it wasn't for Seth Rogan. I just found his voice / persona didn't work for Paul and found him rather irritating. Everything and everyone else - brill!! Would still recommend this movie.

CriticalOfEverything Not really much to say here. This movie is very funny and has a decent story with good CGI (for 2011) but it feels really weak when compared to Simon Pegg's other movies. The jokes can get a bit repetitive and it feels very "american" compared to Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz (Mainly because Greg Mottola is directing) but it's just something that bothers me a little and nothing else. It's a fun movie, but unlike Kingsman and other fun movies it clearly lacks a creative spark.

Ivan Antonijevic This is one of the films that forces you to think as the author imagined, a lot of the stereotypes and weak arguments. It feels as if you are forced to listen to a stupid man that talks 2 hours. Yes, there are a few funny scenes, but it's transformed into "swill".It's not about whether you are religious or not, but the movie shows a forced belief of the author and without any arguments, but uses the stereotypes that are not really arguments. You feel like you are in the prison of stupidity. I really do not like movies like that. Also, it's very predictable, you just wait when it will happened, imposing the wrong model (drugs, bisexuality, "strong" language...).I think every film needs to have a lesson (final word) and this garbage have: smoke, be gay - it's fine, there's no God, drugs...Just do not waste time on this.

lisafordeay I happened to have came across this movie last night on Film 4 and I decided to check it out. The film follows two British Sci-Fi nerds who come across an alien named Paul(voiced by Seth Rogen)who is on the run and is looking for his way home(like E.T). So they help Paul out and team up with another co-pilot who happens to be blind(played by Kristen Wigg)and together they try and help Paul out as a FBI agent(played by Jason Bateman) is after him.Overall I found this film funny. The special effects on Paul is very good as it looks so real looking(as Paul is CGI). The acting was great as both Simon Pegg and Nick Frost worked on this film and have starred in numerous films before like Hot Fuzz or Shawn Of The Dead.And the rest of it was funny too. Keep an eye out for Jane Lynch,Tangled's Jeffrey Tambor and The Lucky One's Blythn Danner(as the woman who first seen Paul years ago).
