Paul is an endearing science fiction comedy with quite the tumultuous ending, with a wide variety of different plot threads suddenly wrapping together before resolving in a swirling storm of chaotic fun. Often considered to be the unofficial fourth entry in the Cornetto Flavours trilogy thanks to Nick Frost and Simon Pegg's humor in both the acting and the writing, Paul has all the markings of an irreverent Edgar Wright genre tribute without the acclaimed British director himself. In fact, Paul is a blatant love letter to family-friendly blockbusters of a bygone age, despite being quite foul-mouthed itself.
