Get Him to the Greek
Year: 2010
Year: 2010
Starring: Jonah Hill, Russell Brand
Directed by: Nicholas Stoller
Run Time: 109 Min
Rating: R
First off, a lot of people will say they wont enjoy this type of movie just because of the sheer inappropriate humor that is a part of the newer style of comedy. But honestly, this movie isn't that bad, unless you are a Mormon (no offense, I just know what they can and cannot watch). This movie has a lot of funny things in it to that aren't so inappropriate. P Diddy, or Diddy, or whatever he goes by now a days, made this movie even more enjoyable with his very stereotypically black rapper attitude. No offense, but it is pretty enjoyable to watch.
Russell Brand is also an excellent character in this as well. He reprises his role as Aldous Snow, a rock star, who can be linked to various real rock stars with the same drug and alcohol problem that Aldous has. Jonah Hill plays a record label employee charged with picking up Aldous in London, and getting him to the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles (hence the movie title). Along the way they encounter a wide variety of funny situations as well as many awkward ones.
I give this movie 4 out of 5 rock songs. Not only is the movie entertaining, but the music is also really good as well. The entire soundtrack is done by the made up band "Infant Sorrow" which Aldous Snow sings for. Russell Brand did all the songs, and it is a good addition to the movie to have the actual band in an album, so it makes it feel a little more realistic. You are left wanting to hear the concert, and with the soundtrack, you can (kind of).
Give the movie a chance. This is one of those that I will probably watch over and over because I find it funny and along with Forgetting Sarah Marshall, this movie is just enjoyable. It is hard not to laugh at at least one thing in this movie. For those of you who think that you won't laugh at anything, then you are sheltered and need to broaden your horizons, because movies aren't fun if you take life to seriously. Remember that!
