Paul

Using a rented RV, the two misfits and their new green pal carry out an escape plan to reunite Paul with his mother ship.
What They're Saying:
"That's not to dismiss Paul's simple pleasures -- if nothing else, its fondness for sex and drugs and four-letter words rescues its references from the soft hands of wee ones into which they've fallen of late." - Village Voice
"Geek is its own language, and Paul speaks it fluently." - Slant Magazine
Good For Kids?
This may look like a kids' film from the outsdie, but it's actually an R-rated comedy with bad language and drug use. Leave the kids at home!
