Get Him To The Greek REVIEW

Screenplay by Nicholas Stoller

Directed by Nicholas Stoller

Starring Jonah Hill, Russell Brand, Elisabeth Moss, Rose Byrne and Sean Combs

Nicholas Stoller brings back the character created by Jason Segel in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, british rockstar Aldous Snow (Russell Brand), and now tells the story of how Jonah Hill will try to get him on time for his return concert at the Greek theatre, which could be hard as he is pretty wild.

Get Him to the Greek is a good comedy, let me just say from start that I thought Russell Brand delivered a hilarious performance once again and he pretty much carries the whole film on his back, seriously, don't doubt for a second that he'll be the one delivering the laughs! 

The writing is okay, some great jokes around, funny situations, nice cameos from LOTS of people, weird songs, it's all good fun. I still do think that Get Him To the Greek had enough potential to be a way superior film than it ended up being, because as it moves forward I was kind of feeling the laughs fading away and some dull moments starting to kick in. In the nature of this kind of comedies, Greek does okay and serves its purpose to entertain, but it's ultimately not as memorable or amazing as it could have been, I honestly prefer Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Still, once again, I loved Brand!
