	Media	Author	Review
		Chris Hewitt Empire	"Broader and more accessible than either Shaun Of The Dead or Hot Fuzz, Paul is pure Pegg and Frost - clever, cheeky and very, very funny. You'll never look at E. T. in the same way again. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	Here's a movie that teeters on the edge of being really pretty good and loses its way (...) Maybe Paul, its alien hero, should have been sent back to the shop for a rewrite (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"
		Carrie Rickey Philadelphia Inquirer	"A mild, meandering comedy (...) Rating: ★★(out of four)"
		Leslie Felperin Variety	"Rogen and helmer Greg Mottola's laconic stoner style should've meshed well with the Brits' tongue-in-cheeky approach. In practice, the cogs jam somewhat, resulting in fitfully funny but anodyne entertainment"
