Get Him To The Greek Movie Review

From The Director of 2008's Forgetting Sarah Marshall(Nicholas Stoller) comes my 2nd most anticipated film of June behind Toy Story 3,Get Him To The Greek.Now This is a spin-off of Russell Brand's very famous or infamous portrayal of fictious Brittish Rock Star Aldous Snow.SuperBad's breakout star Jonah Hill plays Aaron an up in coming record exec., who offers the idea of having a 10 year anniversary concert for Aldous Snow at the famous Las Angeles Greek Theater.Aaron's boss Sergio(the phenomaneol Sean Combs!)loves the idea and sends Aaron to Brittan to pick up Aldous and bring him back to Las Angeles.But there's 1 tiny problem! Aldous is an alchollic heroin addict who just broke up with his longtime girlfriend Jackie Q(Rose Byrne)and just released the most controversial album of our time "African Child". Of course Aldous persuades Aaron to party hard with him and the very jumbled road trip movie ensues.

First the flaws.I thought the chemistry between Hill and Brand was very very rushed and did'nt feel sincere enough until the end.Also the whole subplot with Brand trying to reconnect his relationship with his father(Con Air's Colm Meaney)was so unnessacarry.
Another subplot i didnt like was his weird relationship with Jackie Q and finding out that his son isnt really his!Oh get over it i spoiled it!!!!NBC's Parks and Recreation star Aziz Ansari was very underused.Also , the editing was horrifficly choppy.Writer - Director Stoller focussed too much on the comedy writing than the actual story.That's why i found Forgetting Sarah Marshall to be painfully unforgettable.But i have to give him credit for actually writing funny humor.

For the performances Hill was fabulous Aaron giving a very real poignant performance like he did in SuperBad.I found Brand at times to be very freakin' annoying but don't get me wrong he was still funny.Like i said before Sean Combs was spectacular!Stealing every scene of dialougue written like he was a comedic genius.Colm Meany like i said was unnessacrry and just really unkikeable.

Now as a regular film it's pretty bad.But im grading it for it's funnieness.Cop-Out,Date Night,She's Out Of My League,and Hot Tub Time Machine i found were better films.I shall grant Get Him to the Greek a very dissapointing ...

7/10
