Paul

Paul

Two British sci-fi geeks (Pegg and Frost) go on a road trip through America. On the way, they discover an escaped alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen) near Area 51. As they try to reunite him with his mother ship, they find ‘Paul’ has many more opinions than your typical ET. After previous collaborations you might expect Edgar Wright to be directing this, but instead it’s Greg Mottola (Superbad, Adventureland). Expect something more mainstream, with a little less visual flair. The alien visual effects look great. Nick Frost deserves to be an international megastar.

Take Me Home Tonight

Take Me Home Tonight

Dramedy about the adventures of a recent college graduate (Topher Grace), his twin sister (Anna Faris), and his best friend (Dan Fogler) as they decide what they should do with their lives. The grad also pursues his dream girl (Teresa Palmer) at a wild Labor Day party in 1988 by telling her that he works for Goldman Sachs. Topher Grace’s most prominent roles on screen have been psychos (Spider-Man 3, Predators), but here he’s returning to his comic roots. He made his name on That 70s Show, which was also retro comedy. The trailer is pretty charming and fun, though the movie’s release has been delayed A LOT which rarely bodes well (shooting began in Feb 2007).

Hall Pass

Hall Pass

Two best friends (Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis) are restless in their long marriages so their wives decide to grant them a “hall pass,” one week of freedom to do whatever they want… no questions asked. At first it sounds like a dream come true but they soon realise their expectations of the single life are completely out of sync with reality. The movie’s directors, the Farrelly Brothers, aren’t what they used to be, but this seems like a solid premise. Can’t help feeling they could have cast a stronger pair of actors as the leads. Doubt they were the first choices and it’ll mean it’s not as big of a hit as it could have been.

Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son

Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son

The trilogy is complete. Martin Lawrence returns as the FBI agent, going undercover in an all girl’s school when his 17 year old stepson (T. Jackson, who looks 26, because he is) witnesses a homicide. His stepson joins him in drag, as the pair try to find evidence incriminating the perp. Dancing on the tables, shouting “Haaay”, playing twister – the inconspicuous nature of undercover work seems to have been overlooked here. The director of Malibu’s Most Wanted, Big Momma’s House 2 and Deck The Halls (how’s that for a cv) is back.
