I saw the trailer for this and it looked funny, reminded me of ET. Well, I think it was supposed to! I fell in love with Paul. His persona, his humor, his voice (go, Seth Rogen!), his demeanor. It was a fun story with lots of humor and all sorts of references to other movies. You'd probably have to watch it a second time to catch them all.
Two very nice guys from England have made their first trip across the pond to attend Comicon in San Diego and take a road trip to see places where UFOs have been sighted across the southwest. They've rented an RV and can't believe their lifelong dream has come true. And of course, as comedic movies go, they run from one situation to another. But it's when they literally crash into Paul that their real adventure begins. They add a one-eyed God-fearing beauty to their entourage. We also watch a solemn FBI agent (Jason Bateman, who never cracks a smile...how can he do that?), two bumbling agents, and their female boss who are close on Paul's tail.
SNL players left and right, Jane Lynch (!), Sigourney Weaver, Blythe Danner, Steven Spielberg....surprise after delightful surprise. This was an especially fun movie. And I really do have a crush on Paul...
