There seems to be a certain demand from audiences for another collaboration between Simon Peg and Nick Frost, the duo known best for The Corneto trilogy (they did with director Edgar Wright). That trilogy includes the "John of the Dead", "Hoteces Fuz" and "End of the World". But before completing their Chinese Trinity in 2013, Peg and Frost gathered with director Greg Motola ("Superbad") for the mainly neglected scientific comedy in the form of a "pole" movie that finds a new life on Netflix on the late.

Indeed, Flixpatrol Reports that Paul in 2011 is currently occupying the number four of Netflix's most watched movie charts, sitting just above the Twilight and under only "Equiliary 2", "Chaos" and "Externation". Director Gareth Evans' "Havok", worth noting, enjoyed a healthy track at the top of Strimmer's chartsAfter recently falling to number two. In any case, nearly 15-year-old Motola comedy hangs heavy with some glossy new originals of Netflix. Obviously, people just want to see Peg and Frost on the screen together.

For those who may need a refresher, Paul focuses on Grammy (PEG) and Clive (Frost), two British nerds who made pilgrimage to the United States to take each other on a journey to RW. On the way, the couple meets Paul (Seth Rogen), an alien alien who only escapes from the highest military base where he has been held for decades. With federal tail agents, these two friends help Paul return to his home.

In its time, Paul was greeted with reasonably good reviews by criticsBut buzzing could not match the level of perceived perfection achieved by something like "John of the dead", for example. Be as it can, this film was a much larger Hollywood production, complete with a comic-con-Conn-Con panel in San Diego and an cast involving Rogen, Christine Viig, Bill Hadder, Asoneyson Bateman and Safe Waver (Along with little comes from none other than the legendary director Steven Spielberg).

What is interesting, in retrospect, is that Paul is not considered as great success. In reality, however, he made more money than "John of the Dead", "Hoteces Fuz" and "The End of the World" made during their theater races. In fact, Paul earned $ 98 million worldwide, while John made $ 30 million, Hot Fuz made $ 80 million, and the end of the world made $ 47 million. However, it often feels like those three films have more cultural housing.

People have very strong opinions about the cornet trilogy, with fans often debating which of the three is the best. I would personally argue in favor of "Hoteces Fuz", But it is neither here nor there. The bigger point is that no, this middle-budget foreign comedy from universal paintings was not Edgar Wright behind the camera and was not universally praised in his time. However, we are here, 14 years later, and the film gets more viewership than almost anything else on Netflix. There's something to say about it.
