Get Him to the Greek

Apatow production strikes again with their release of the newest comedy, Get Him to the Greek, which continues Forgetting Sarah Marshall’s story line of rock star Aldous Snow (played by Russell Brand). Jonah Hill (playing Aaron Green) also stars in Get Him to the Greek but picking up as a character that works in the music business under his boss Sergio (played by Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs). The movie uses the same type of humor that are seen in all previous Apatow movies, but keeps it interesting with the new story line but with a few familiar characters.
Aldous Snow is the only person who plays the same role finds himself in the downward fall of his career after producing a racist album leading to his divorce of his wife, return to alcoholism and drugs and finally his fall from stardom. Upon Sergio deciding that a 10th anniversary concert of Aldous live at the Greek theater in LA would boost revenue Aaron Green is then sent to pick him up and bring him the Greek. Then enters pandemonium, which may remind you of the Hangover slightly. Ultimately the movie highlights Aaron Green and Aldous Snow’s growing relationship from fan/rocker to friends.
I found myself laughing frequently at most jokes with few exceptions. P. Diddy provided a hilarious twist to the cast surprising me with his comic ability and Brand did what he does best, act crazy but being a riot at the same time. To top it all of I actually found Jonah Hill funny at times, not annoying or stupid (although he was annoying and stupid sometimes, just not throughout the whole movie), which was a pleasant surprise. All in all this entire movie was pretty funny and had some memorable moments that will surely cause you to leave the theater talking and laughing about.
