Paul

If there are chick-flicks, there should be a geek-flick. Sci-fi are the most common geek-flick with character from another world, with extraordinary powers or simply a grotesque non-human from another era. Well, Paul is definitely from another world and would be mostly categories as a comedy but the geek-dom elements will pass it off as geek-flick.

Have you ever met a rude and obnoxious alien before? Sure there might  those from the Cantina mumbling and cursing in an alien language, but have you heard one in English. Paul the guy, erm alien...

Paul crash landed on Earth for almost half a century. Being held at by the government, Paul shared his secrets and idea to create famous extra-terrestrial phenomenon.Years past and Paul ran away hoping to return home where he bumped into a pair of European geeks, Graeme and Clive (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost). The geeky duo agreed to help and ended in tremendous misadventures.

I loved the pair of Pegg and Frost since Shaun of the Dead. They worked well together and their humor are quite dumb-witted and crude at some point, typically a British humor. No wonder Paul is crude and obnoxious.
