Get Him to the Greek


Get Him to the Greek

Running Time: 1 hour and 49 minutes

Summary: Aaron Greenberg (Hill) gets things done. The ambitious 23-year-old has exaggerated his way into a dream job just in time for a career-making assignment. His mission: Fly to London and escort a rock god to L.A.s Greek Theatre for the first-stop on a $100-million tour. His warning: Turn your back on him at your own peril. British rocker Aldous Snow (Brand) is both a brilliant musician and walking sex. Weary of yes men and piles of money, the former front man is searching for the meaning of life. But that doesn't mean he cant have a few orgies while he finds it. When he learns his true love is in California, Aldous makes it his quest to win her back right before kick-starting his world domination.

Review: Well yet another hilarious release from the genius that brought you Knocked Up and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Although this movie doesn't have the polish or mainstream appeal of either film, it offers a hilarious repertoire of comedy genius. I mean, you just can't expect just anyone to enjoy a well timed "dildo in the face" joke.

Russell Brand is hilarious as Aldous Snow and although a movie starring this character would be way too much, Jonah Hill makes a brilliant foil for his non-stop partying. Even P-Diddy or Puff Daddy or Sean Combs or whatever the f**k his name is was hilarious in it! Some of the best lines in this movie were his alone! Even Rose Byrne and Elisabeth Moss, two actresses known for playing more serious roles lend themselves well delivering their carefully crafted dialogue with precision and perfect comic timing.

Anyway, great movie, if you have any appreciation for the direction that comedy is currently heading in, don't miss this movie!
