Get Him to the Greek

Russell Brand, Jonah Hill, and Diddy. You put all three of them into a movie and you get this hilarious and raunchy comedy. This is probably one of the good comedies of the year 2010. Talk about a bad year in movies, there is practically no good comedies these days. Comedies like Killers, Sex and the City 2, Cop Out, and Furry Vengeance all bombed in the box office and critics hated them. Although Get Him to the Greek is raunchy and full of sex jokes, it still got me laughing my ass off. I enjoyed this very much and writing a long review for a comedy like this isn't my style. But the IMDb guidelines don't allow less than 10 lines of review so forgive the stupid rule and this junk.

I almost didn't see this movie, based on the trailers. Almost... and it would have been a big mistake if I didn't see it. It's been a long time since a movie has made me laugh so hard, and so often throughout. Start to finish. Even if you don't particularly like Russell Brand, or Jonah Hill You should still find it watchable and very funny. It's a funny movie. Exactly what you'd expect from the actors and staff involved. Highlight: Puff Daddy was hilarious! For my taste, Exactly what I like in a comedy Plenty of laughs, gags, one liners, and talented improv actors 10/10 (excellent)

Get Him to the Greek Review By Eric Belchar This movie is about a washed up rock star named Aldous Snow. He does drugs and gets drunk while partying all the time. He turns his life around after meeting Arron Green. Arron is working for a record company that has low revenue. Arron suggests that Aldous Snow does a live performance at the Greek theater in Los Angeles. So he is put in charge of getting Aldous Snow from London to the Greek theater. Along the way Aldous decides he wants to see his dad in Las Vegas. After seeing his dad and talking with him he goes to L.A. to see the girl that he fell in love with. After almost committing suicide he performs at the Greek theater. This movie is good because it shows what it's like to be a rock star who has hit rock bottom. This movie is hilarious but also serious. The movie also shows how a good friend can change your life. When Aldous meets Arron he changes his life. When Arron meets Aldous his life becomes more fun.

The movie was very stupid and had no meaning at all. It wasn't even funny and the things that were happening made no sense.I can't understand how could anyone score this movie anything above '5'. I just wasted two hours of my life watching this ridiculous movie. I had a long time to see such a bad movie. I can't understand why someone would propose this movie to someone else. I' m very disappointed... Although it started with some promise and a few laughs it quickly become very frustrating to watch.The movie was not even a comedy and is very long almost two full hours.I am a big fan of Johan Hill and if it wasn't for him i probably would have turned the DVD off because i barely made it to the end of the film.

I'm lucky I didn't not buy, hire or go to the cinema see in this COMEDY, and I use that term very loosely. I'm surprised our local Library even has this to borrow. I know, I know, one should watch an entire movie to be able to truly write a review. But when something is so goddamn awful as this one was and I could only give it just fifteen minutes before turning off my player. Clearly I'm too old for a movie that starts with crass song lyric's littered with profanities. I won't even consider going back to put the DVD back in my player to see it did actually get funny. "This years Hangover" yeah right! (Maybe I needed one to enjoy this trash)

Music PR company guy Aaron must get a failing Rock Star Snow to his 10 year anniversary gig. Only it's not going to be as easy as he thought. With cameo appearances galore, the excellently cast Jonah Hill and Russell Brand get wacky and wag tongues for well over an hour. Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs and Colm Meaney are surprisingly outrageously funny. At times it takes it's self too serious and this detracts from the fun. That said, talented writer/Director Nicholas Stoller gives us an oddball comedy, with laugh out loud moments (but they're few and far between). There's sex drugs and rock'n'roll, it's not as soul searching as Forgetting Sarah Marshall but doesn't half try, Get Him to the Greek is good crack if only to see the drunken stoned Vegas fight.

The main problem is the main character, he's just not funny at all. I had seen him in other movies as a random sideshow and sometimes he's slightly funny in those cases but still more corny than anything. Oddly enough Kanye West or P diddy or whoever that was did provide some laughs. I can't tell them apart because they both do the same dumb things to try and act cool (like wearing sunglasses indoors at night). But he was funny and did a good job acting hypertensive and crazy. Jonah Hill is normally a really funny guy when given the right role, but in this case he has to try to make something off his interactions with the main character which is hard to do when Russel Brand just brings nothing to the movie for him to work with. It wasn't a good role for Jonah Hill. The movie does have quite a few cameos that I guess they hoped would engage the viewers more, but I was so annoyed and disappointed by the lack of comedy that I just didn't care.
