The idea of this film has some genuine life, but the acting simply slaughters it. At first glance, I thought Last Stop for Paul was a travel documentary, but I quickly discovered that it wasn't. The dialogue was predictable, stale and fabricated. The two main characters are not professional actors, making for some almost laughable tête-à-tête. Each conversation lacked any sort of verisimilitude.If you can get past the dreadful acting, there are aspects of this film that can be thoroughly enjoyed. For a geography buff like myself, I took pleasure in the scenery, especially when the pair stops in Greece and Vietnam. The producers took time to actually exhibit the landscape too, helping stimulate the viewer where the plot and dialogue don't.Overall, this film fails miserably in the acting department, but the cinematography is great. Again, the intent of Last Stop for Paul isn't that bad, but it simply didn't take off like it should have.

Oh yeah, this is a rad movie. My friend told me to check it out, and I'm glad I did cause man, it's the best. The story follows two back packers who are on a quest to put their friend's ashes in as many countries as possible. On the way they meet a ton of funny characters and lots of cool things happen. This movie seriously had me laughing so hard out loud that I couldn't believe it. The stories people tell about their different travels are so funny and the fact that they travel to the different countries and show the actual locations makes it just completely amazing. I've watched this movie 3 times already. Whoever is reading this should definitely watch it too. It's just that good.

I saw this movie at a festival and wasn't expecting much, but WOW. This movie totally blew me away. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but it's about two guys that travel the world and learn a lot about life. Along the way, they meet a lot of cool people and it's really hilarious and touching. It's so awesome because they use all the natives of the locations as actors. It really reminded me of what Werner Herzog does. Just working with people from other countries and using what they do for the story. It gives the movie a very realistic feel and almost seems like a documentary. Very innovative, exciting and always entertaining. I HIGHLY recommend you see this movie. 10/10

If you've ever tried to shoot a film without a script with untrained actors, let alone ones that don't even speak your language, you'd respect this little movie. Apparently, that's what the director here did. It gives the film that improvisatory feel that I like because it's loose and seems more like real life, but there's still a structured story that you can follow so it's not just some mess. The story moves really fast, you get to meet a lot of funny characters, and you get to see beautiful footage of a lot of different countries. I checked this movie out because I like Borat and Anchorman and improvised style comedy, My friend who is an up and coming filmmaker told me about this flick that he saw at some festival in Florida. It's not exactly like Borat as the main character seems like a real guy as opposed to some freak, but the humor is still pretty awesome! Just crazy characters and crazy stuff that happens when you're a stranger in a strange land. It looks like the guys who made it had a lot of fun doing it and their passion for traveling comes through perfectly. I would definitely give this a chance!
