Seth Rogen and Simon Pegg screaming in Paul
On paper, combining the juvenile humor of Judd Apatow with the slacker charm of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s comedies sounds like it might be a bit too ambitious to pull off, but that’s exactly what the movie Paul attempted in 2011. And it threw in Spielbergian intrigue for good measure. Directed by Greg Mottola, Paul seemed destined for cult appreciation, which never quite materialized, as it opened to mostly positive reviews and modest commercial success.
Paul also features several Apatow regulars, such as Bill Hader and Joe Lo Truglio, as well as cameos by Sigourney Weaver and Spielberg himself. The movie debuted in 2011 to mostly positive reviews, and currently holds a 70% fresh approval rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, although its audience score, based on over 250,000 ratings, is slightly lower, at 67%. Collider’s review at the time called the movie “a baffling love letter to an already well-loved culture.
