Paul – 7
A thoroughly genial chase film about a foul-mouthed alien, a sort-of bastard child ofE.T. and Borat. All the acting, or should I say mugging, was pitch-perfect, not only by the refreshingly unfamiliar British leads, but also by the reliable American supporting cast, such as Kristin Wiig, Bill Hader and Justin Bateman. This was not a movie you’d go out of your way to see (and in fact, the 6:40 showing at Metro 4 was actually empty), but neither was it a film you had any regrets about spending 1:40 with in the afternoon.
