Rating: 9 out of 10, this was a huge surprise for me because I thought it would be alright but it turned to be just flat hilarious. Pegg and Frost always make a great comedy team and they are perfect as a couple of British sci fi nerds living their dream vacation when they meet an actual alien, voiced by Rogen. CGI has reached the point where you forget this character isn't really there. Its a tribute to the other actors that they make it so believable. The rest of this ensemble cast is a collection of comedic actors who hit all their marks. There are some truly funny digs at popular culture and the sci fi genre, though this is done lovingly. Wiig, as always, is so funny as a reformed Jesus freak. The climatic scene featuring Sigourney Weaver is perfect. I absolutely loved this movie.
MVP: Rogen, although unseen (probably for the best considering his latest efforts) lends real nuance as the voice of Paul
