During spring break, we wanted to see a movie at the theater. We don't often go to the theater due to the ticket prices and having to agree on a movie and time to see it. Our younger son Eric first wanted to see Hall Pass, but my husband really wanted to see Paul. After reading the positive review on Paul in the Post-Dispatch, we headed to the Cine 15 in O'Fallon on Friday, the day it came out.
The tickets were $8.00 each. We get Netflix for a whole month for a little more than that. However, some movies are better in the theater, the big screen, the sound, the big bucket of popcorn ($8.00 also). We got there early (the second group to arrive) and passed the time till the previews and commercials started by playing games and checking out Facebook on our phones.
The movie was very funny, fairly fast-paced, and well written. We caught a number of references and spoofs of other movies such as Back to the Future and Close Encounters. If you do not care for cussing, you may want to avoid the movie; there is plenty of that language. The acting was good, the characters interesting and sometimes unpredictable. Paul is the alien and what a character!!
I am not a huge sci-fi fan, but I like a well done movie. If you want to laugh out loud and get your money's worth, go see Paul.
"Hall Pass" I watched that movie with my girlfriend, I didn't agree what happened in the movie. It is just baD.
ReplyDeleteThe ticket price for the movie in theater are not $8.00 anymore, it is getting expensive. The regular movie is $10.50/ticket, and the 3D is $15/ticket.
