An ambitious young record company executive attempts to transport an unpredictable rock star to L.A.'s Greek Theatre in time for his hotly anticipated comeback performance in this spin-off of the come... read more read more...dy hit Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) has just landed his dream job in the record industry, and he's eager to prove his worth. His first assignment: travel to London and escort British rock god Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) to the show that will re-ignite his career. Before he departs, Aaron is warned by his boss Sergio Roma (Sean Combs) to never let Aldous out of his sight, and never underestimate his capacity for mayhem. Immensely talented yet deeply tortured, Aldous hit the bottle hard after his popularity began to wane and his girl walked out on him. Aldous is locked in the midst of an existential crisis, and rues the thought of being accompanied across the pond by an insincere sycophant. Though it seems like sex is the only thing Aldous ever thinks about, his thoughts turn to romance when he discovers that gorgeous model/pop singer Jackie Q (Rose Byrne) will be in Los Angeles at the time of his concert, too. Jackie Q is the love of Aldous' life, and he'll do anything and everything to win her heart. With the concert fast approaching and Aaron's fledgling career on the line, the race is on to get Aldous to the Greek, and ensure the big show goes off without a hitch. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Jonah Hill and Russell Brand's chemistry in this comedy is simply outstanding. I hugely recommend buying Get Him To The Greek instead of going to see Hill's recent release 21 Jump Street which is highly ... read moreaverage and formulaic. Brand on the other hand, is better than ever. Considering the movie is closely related to music, I think that Brand should form his fictional band Infant Sorrow. He's actually a decent singer, as proven with this film. Its worth watching a couple times just for the tunes, but it's genuinely funny. Although not the best Judd Apatow comedy it's better than some of the others.

    Admittedly this film is a bit of a yawn fest, with an occasional moment of laughter, those who enjoyed Forgetting Sarah Marshall, unfortunately will not be in for a similar treat.

    Moderately enjoyable comedy from Nicholas Stoller, spun off the far better Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Funny enough to not qualify as a waste of time, but the tonal shifts and the sheer unlikability of its characters weigh Get Him to the Greek down. The performances are great, how... read moreever. Russell Brand was born to play obnoxious Aldous Snow; Jonah Hill and Elisabeth Moss are memorable, but it's Rose Byrne and (quite surprisingly) Sean 'Diddy' Combs who steal the whole show.

    Get Him to the Greek is hilarious and a soon to be classic comedy. The plot is a wild ride of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, but it somehow adds a little heart into it. The cast is great, but the show stealer is Sean P Diddy Combs who is HILARIOUS. The jokes are sometimes simp... read morele, but most of the time im laughing my ass off. A amazing and great movie.

    To start off this review, I would like to acknowledge that Get Him to the Greek should by no means be taken seriously. This hilarious spin-off of Russell Brand's rock-star character Aldous Snow, who was introduced in 2008's hit comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall, is a laugh riot, f... read moreeaturing great performances from Russell Brand and Jonah Hill. Jonah Hill stars as unsuccessful music producer Aaron Green, who has just been hired to travel to England, and bring the notorious, drug-addicted rock star Aldous Snow to the Greek Theater to perform at a concert in 72 hours. What could possibly go wrong? Apparently, a whole lot can go wrong, and Aaron Green has the experience of a lifetime. Sounds preposterous, no? That is exactly what it is, a dark comedy that isn't afraid to say anything, which is due to most of the graphic language. If you enjoy dirty comedies with great acting and a stellar soundtrack, than Get Him to the Greek is the film for you.

    How much comedy gold can be mined from the old "sex, drugs and rock-n-roll" cliches? Approximately ten minutes worth, apparently. Russell Brand's dopey yet hyper-sexual/"pseudo Bono"- rock star persona "Aldous Snow" (first seen in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall") has recorded a dis... read moreasterous pop song about his "inner african child" that's resulted in not only damage to his career but also to his love life with "psuedo-Lady Gaga" singer, Jackie Q. Meanwhile, the recording industry is in a slump and label CEO Sergio (Sean 'PUFF DADDY' Combs) is looking for hot new ideas to generate revenue. One of his employees (Jonah Hill), who also happens to be a super fan of Aldous', pitches the idea of a concert to commemorate the last time Snow was huge in the charts. Puffy agrees and assigns Hill to bring Snow to the Greek Theater for the concert. The rest of the film involves Hill trying to get Aldous to the Greek (hence the title!).

    A lot of the comedy in this film comes from the notion that Russell Brand is intrinsically funny, and therefore there is very little need to focus on injecting any actual comedy into the script. It's a shame too, because Russell Brand can be great (as in Forgetting Sarah Marshall), but there has to be some effort put into the writing. Maybe Aldous Snow is better in small doses, like an SNL character, he's just not cut out for his own full length film. I'm not sure what the case is, only that Get Him To The Greek is missing something. Actually, it's a perfectly watchable movie, the premise and the story are fine, it's just a lack of humor that makes it so... blah. Blah. Just all too reminscent of other recent "comedies" (I'm looking at you, "Date Night"), in that somebody forgot to put in the laughs.

    One of the best comedy sequels ever made. You can't not find this film funny! Russell Brand and Jonah Hill are babes. They work so well together. Fantastic!

    Like a TV spinoff, where you take a minor character and then do a series all about them, Get Him To The Greek has the wacky rock star from Forgetting Sarah Marshall as the focus of the film, Aldous Snow. The film even includes a nice nod to the original film when Snow passes by a... read more TV screen in an airport; pauses, looks at the screen and mumbles in his Brit accent " I believe I've shagged her".

    The film tells the story of Snow, who was once THE rock star, but after a disastrous, self serving album and the subsequent celebrity breakup, he finds himself an afterthought. Jonah Hill plays a low level record exec, challenged by his boss (a hilarious turn by P Diddy) to come up with a fresh idea. Idolizing the fallen star, Hill suggests a comeback concert for Snow, and when Diddy greenlights the idea it's off to the races - with Hill flying to London to shepherd Snow first to NY for an appearance on the Today Show, and then to LA for the big concert at The Greek.

    Of course Snow, the consummate rock star as portrayed by Russell Brand, has other ideas, leading the duo through a drunken mélange of clueless debauchery and missed appointments. There are some laugh out loud moments, particularly when Snow reunites with his father, a bass player in the pit band of Rat Pack look alikes in Vegas. Colm Meaney plays dear old dad for all it's worth and it's the part of the film in Vegas, plus some truly funny songs lyrics and the opening video of "African Child" that give this film it's high marks.

    On the flip side, there are skits that fall flat, like the ménage a trios scene between Snow, Hill, and Hill's GF... I suppose the scene served a point, but was it really necessary? I know it wasn't funny.

    I suppose one could argue that the film has a certain bit of depth, looking into the psyche of the rock star, but you get the same type of stuff with Entourage on TV so it comes as no revelation, just a nice character turn by Brand.

    In all, there was enough good stuff here to lead me to recommend this - I laughed enough that I could forgive the stuff that didn't work... kind of like Forgetting Sarah Marshall as a matter of fact - both films are enjoyable to a point, but won't be winning any awards any time soon.

    GHtoG works with a tiring theme (lonely rockstar) but Brand and dare-I-say P.Diddy rally up the laughs and personality that make this successful.

    I also enjoy the uneven tone of the film, making the otherwise formulaic plot less direct and the emotion/complexities are usually re... read moread between the lines on top of Brand's seemingly "random" juvenile antics.

    A good watch for any fan of comedy but rarely racks up the swelling emotion that it's meant to.

    This was good for a few laughs, but it's far from anything special. Neither of the main actors is strong enough to carry an entire film. Neither one is very funny either. This is uneven, boring and awkward. Avoid.

Brand can seem simultaneously randy and strung-out and is often very funny. Hill is surprisingly touching, which is quite a feat given the number of orifices he is required to display. Full Review

The movie's story is conventional in shape, but it has passages of crazy exhilaration and brilliant invention. Full Review

A little bit of Russell Brand can go a long way, but Greek is a fine vehicle for his mock rock-god persona. Full Review

A few too many grossout gags, but this is inspired lunacy, with P. Diddy (!) delivering one of the funniest performances of the year. Full Review
