The British nerds and aspirant comic-book writers Graeme Willy (Simon Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Nick Frost) travel to the Comic-Con in San Diego, California, to see their idol, Adam Shadowchild (Jeffrey Tambor), among other sci-fi attractions.
While driving to the Area 51, Nevada, in a road trip in the UFOs land, they meet the alien Paul that asks for help to reach the Area 51. They learn that Paul was captured by the military in 1947, in Wyoming, and kept prisoner in a base in a top-secret project. Paul has contacted his spacecraft that will rescue him but now he is chased by federal agents led by Agent Zoil (Jason Bateman). When they stop in a trailer area, they abduct the religious Ruth Buggs (Kristen Wiig) that changes her religious perspective to the scientific point of view after contacting Paul and she decides to join Graeme and Clive to help the alien. But their journey to Nevada with the agents and Ruth's father chasing them is dangerous.
"Paul" is a funny entertainment for the whole family with a humor that oscillates between the British irony and the American scatology. The lead actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost repeat their performance of "Shaun of the Dead" in the role of two stupid best friends and they are hilarious. Paul is also very funny and I laughed a lot with the scene when he revives the bird. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Paul"
