Get Him To The Greek (2010)

I've watched Get Him To The Greek at least 3 times now, and it's still funny to me. It's one of those movies that sticks with you. Parts of it will root into your sub-conscience, and you'll remember them at inappropriate times. You'll laugh out loud, and people will stare.

Russell Brand returns as Aldous Snow, the idiotic British rock star from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, who has now been out of the spotlight for years. Jonah Hill plays Aaron Green, who works as a talent scout for Sergio Roma (P. Diddy) at Pinnacle Records. When the company loses money, Sergio ask for ideas. Aaron suggests getting Snow to do a 10th anniversary Infant Sorrow concert at the Greek Theater.

A month later, Aaron is sent to bring Snow from London to New York, and get Aldous to The Today Show for a appearance before the big concert.


The true comedy is in the performances. Russell Brand and Jonah Hill are the perfect odd couple here. Their comedic timing, and chemistry make this a fun movie to watch. Throw in ample amounts of narcotics, alcohol, and P. Diddy as a crazy record executive, who believes in doing whatever it takes to win, and the jokes write themselves.

The soundtrack, features all the great Infant Sorrow music heard in the film, including African Child, Furry Walls, and The Clap.

I highly recommend this movie if you liked Forgetting Sarah Marshall, or any Judd Apatow comedy.
