Better than Expected
Paul was exactly what you expect from Pegg & Frost. Super funny and creative. If you are a fan of Shaun or Hot Fuzz, you'll enjoy Paul.
All the reviews on Fandango about the nonstop cursing & blasphemy intrigued me even more to see it, seeing as how both those things are not typical of their movies.
1st off, the movie is rated R. If you're a parent taking your child to see a rated R movie, then I'm assuming you have some knowledge of what an R rated movie contains. Saying you were shocked & disgusted at the content, walking out, etc is just ridiculous. It's an R rating for a reason.
2nd, Paul contains a mediocre amount of foul language & toilet humor. You hear more cursing and sexual jokes on Comedy Central. It is incredibly mild compared to most comedies out there, and I honestly did not understand what all the uproar was about.
3rd, the movie contains jokes aimed at Christian characters. If you were offended by it, then either grow thicker skin, or don't see R rated movies.
