Got to see this yesterday and must admit it wasn't bad maybe not as good as I thought it would be (the first 10 minutes or so are weird/strange and did not bode well but it's a temporay blip), I have always liked anything Mr. Pegg and Mr.Frost have done before (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz etc...).
They play two geeks on a bit of a road trip across America in an RV starting at Comic-Con and hitting all the relevant sites like Area 51, Roswell, etc..... everythings going reasonably fine and safe until they run into Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen and I can forgive him now for The Green Hornet) our escaped alien with the men in black on his tail and a place to get to in a certain amount of time, now Paul is the star of the movie and has nearly all the great lines and answers to a lot of conspiracy theories and along with Ruth a one-eyed Creationist (played by Kristen Wiig) who they kidnap and her beliefs are tested by Paul (I will not spoil it but very funny) and she starts cussing with some of the best cusses I've heard in ages in any movie (I've been using some of them at work).
They are now been constantly hunted by professional (Jason Bateman) and newbie men in black, Ruth's creationist dad and some rednecks (pop up now and again as a running gag that's not that funny) and there is even an appearance by Sigourney Weaver as they head to a spot that you should recognise from another famous sci-fi movie.
It's well worth a look and you will not be disappointed, loads of movie in jokes and references, the review guide is at the bottom of the blog and I wish the 28mm little grey men I painted this week looked as good as Paul.
