Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Mabel Munoz
Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The only reason I got this movie out was because of the extraordinary number of awards it seemed to have won. I will never base my movie hiring on that basis again after this.The acting of the two main characters is awful but I suspect that has as much to do with the editing than their acting skills.The guy they meet in the prison in Veitnam is convincing but apart from that it comes across exactly like the stories I hear of American tourists around the world. I hope there is not a sequel or that these guys don't try to make any more films.There are some great shots of the scenery but it's been shot so much better in so many travel documentaries that this is not a saving grace.Please do not waste your money on this film.

Last Stop for Paul is the bomb. I saw it over the weekend while visiting New York. I always try to keep up on the latest indie flicks and read about this one. I ended up really enjoying this movie. The whole movie was shot on hand held cameras that really capture the charm of everyone involved. It has kind of curb your enthusiasm feel to it (which is a very high compliment coming from me considering it's my favorite show). It's very funny and touching at the same time. The guys in the movie travel to a bunch of different continents and it's cool to see all the mountains and stuff. The best part is the end when they hit up the full moon festival in Thailand. It makes me totally want to go party there. I loved this film. Go see it.

As a backpacker myself, I have been all around the world on pennies. There is nothing quite like the people you meet when you're in the middle of nowhere in a country you're not familiar with. I don't think any movie has ever captured it better than Last Stop for Paul. I've been in these situations before, and I completely relate to Cliff and Charlie. The great thing about the movie is seeing all the different countries at once and seeing how different and the same things are all across the world. I especially liked the scene in the Vietnamese prison. I can't imagine what I would have done in similar circumstances. I'm sure I would have tried the snakes blood though. Why not? If nothing else this movie made me want to hit the road again and have an adventure or two myself... and maybe make a movie along the way.

Have you ever wanted to travel around the world, but didn't have the money? If so, then check out this film.These guys travel everywhere sprinkling their friends ashes. It's really awesome seeing all the places they go. They some really funny people and learn the meaning of Batty-Face...you'll get it when you see the movie. It's really really funny and also kind of touching at the end. Last Stop for Paul is by far the best indie film I've made on a shoestring budget. It's a real indie film, unlike Juno and those other movies financed by studios.After you see this movie, your vocabulary will change. Watch out for Batty-faces!
