Smart alien on the loose

For the past 60 years, an alien named Paul, voiced by Seth Rogen, has been hanging out at a top-secret military base.

The space-travelling smart alec suddenly decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town — a rented RV containing earthlings Graeme Willy (Simon Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Nick Frost). Chased by federal agents and the fanatical father of a young woman they accidentally kidnap, the duo hatch a fumbling escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship.

Paul (15) can be seen at Newark’s Reel Cinema.
