...tell that "Shrimpy and Paul" may not be for the Tom Clancy reader in your life? Well, it ought to be. "Shrimpy and Paul" works like a delightful palate refresher of nonsense that sharpens up taste buds long since dulled by greasy, unhealthy fare. Though it makes no conventional sense, "Shrimpy and Paul" is easy to read thanks to Marc Bell's sure hand at story structure.

Wrapped in a fog of self-involvement, the kids drink, smoke, party and feud between working lousy jobs. Life's a bitch in Hong Kong, the movie says, but at least you've got friends.
