Wissenswertes
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost made the film to demonstrate their love for Steven Spielberg's science fiction classics Die unheimliche Begegnung der 3. Art (1977) and E.T. - Der Außerirdische (1982). When Spielberg got wind of the project, he happily suggested that he make a cameo appearance of some sort, in this case a voice on a speakerphone.

Patzer
Two men appear behind Graeme and Clive in the diner when they receive the "Alien on Board" sticker. However, when the two hillbillies appear the two men are gone.

Zitate
Graeme Willy: How come I can understand you? Are you using some neural language router?
Paul: Actually I'm speaking English you fucking idiot!

Crazy Credits
Right before the scrolling end credits, we see an image of the cover of Clive and Graeme's Graphic Novel "Paul", which has an illustration of Paul -- except he has three breasts, which is clearly a reference to the woman with three breasts on the cover of their other book seen throughout the movie.

Alternative Versionen
There are two different versions of this film. IMDB's link for Technical Specifications on this film provides the different lengths: "1 hr 44 min (104 min)" and "1 hr 49 min (109 min) (Unrated)". An IGN review for the movie, written by DVDFuture and Rotten Tomatoes contributor R.L. Shaffer explains: "There are two cuts of the film - a theatrical cut and an unrated version...about 6-minutes longer...mostly consists of added banter and extended moments." A detailed, scene-by-scene outline of the differences between the Theatrical and Extended versions is provided, along with differing screenshots and dialogue, at [a website refuses to credit]

7/10

Far better than expected

Paul is not perfect, but it is not as good as Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. However I for one found it an enjoyable movie, and much better than people I know made it out to be. I mainly wanted to see it for the concept, which seemed fun and intriguing, and for the most part it was. The story is mostly fast-paced and entertaining, but there are some predictable moments with some gags going on for too long. Also while I loved Kristen Wiig in Bridesmaids, I didn't find her character here anywhere near as well written or engaging this time round. However, Paul does look great and has an appealing soundtrack. A vast majority of the writing and gags are very funny and on target and the direction is well above average as well. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are a well-matched pair, both are likable and their chemistry infectious, while Seth Rogan, an actor I don't really care for, is surprisingly good as Paul. Overall, far better than expected even with the flaws. 7/10 Bethany Cox
