This week the release list is full of comedy including Paul, Your Highness, and Jumping the Broom.
I went to the cinema to see Paul and rather enjoyed it. The film is another comedy in the typical style of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. If you like their films then you'll like this one as well, but if you're not a fan of Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz then you will probably not like this one either. There are plenty of nods towards almost every major sci-fi film and/or television show ever. Many of them are subtle and may not be noticed one first glance.
Your Highness looks pretty decent, but received so-so reviews. Most reviews stated that the film was bland and not all that funny, but given the cast it is probably just ideal for certain audiences. I plan on watching this because it looks a little immature and with the cast I think it might be right up my alley.
Jumping the Broom doesn't really look appealing to me at all. The story is cliche and been a hundred times over and it just doesn't look very funny. It could be a sneaky comedy, but I don't think I'll have time to watch it and the other films that are out, so this one will most likely just collect dust on my shelf.
