Not what I thought it would be!

This review is from: Get Him to the Greek (2-Disc Unrated Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) I put off watching this movie because I thought it would be some stupid movie about getting this rock star to a college frat party(I didn't pay attention to the previews when they were out). Finally watched it and I LOVED it! It has great one liners like The Big Lebowski,Spaceballs and Caddyshack. Digital copy is great--dropped it on to my i touch to watch when I am waiting around.

It KILLED me

Russel Brand is just as funny as can be. Super cast and just very well done. Be warned, some of the humor is not for the feint of heart. Also, for those of you who didn't know, the character of Aldous Snow was featured in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and they allude to it in this movie. You will appreciate it that much more if you've seen that movie too.

Pop Star or Rock Star!?

If you want to laugh and are a fan of Jonah Hill I would suggest seeingthis movie, I like Jonah Hill and how he has such a subtle sense ofhumor. Jonah Hill really made me laugh when he smoked that amazingjoint. Without Jonah Hill this movie would have fallen flat. A coupleof years ago, Russell Brand was thrown off the BBC for being naughty onthe radio, and pundits suggested his career was dead. Today, he's aHollywood film star. What do pundits know? I think he's funny, but insome scenes he's acting like a fag! Not like a real rock star. I thinkthe movie crew didn't know difference between POP STAR & ROCK STAR!!One would think "Get Him To The Greek" is a re-imagining of "MyFavorite Year" ain't??

Don't listen to the reviews!

This was a really good movie! Was it better than Forgetting Sarah Marshall? No, but not too many movies are. Was it a really funny movie with an AMAZING soundtrack? YES! One person who reviewed this claimed he was a big fan of Family Guy and that is just mindless nonsense. If you want a good film with REAL humor and great music, check it out!

Loved it

I cannot stand Jonah Hill. A friend asked me to see this with her, andI went thinking I might get a laugh or two out of Russel Brand. I wasdreading having to watch Hill on screen for so long.Boy, was I wrong.I did not stop laughing. From the second Brand appeared on screen, thecinema was full of giggles and bursts of laughter. Anyone who has readBrand's book will notice a few home truths with him and his character.That being said, he was completely believable. Hill was surprisinglylikable, Rose Byrne was amazing as always, and P.Diddy shockingly good.I think the fusion of American/British humour was played brilliantly. Ihated the Hangover, LOVED this and am planning on seeing it again andagain.

"Fat, Drunk and Stupid is no way to go through life, son"

Apologies to the writers of "Animal House", but Dean Wormer's commentto Flounder is just so apropos to the character(?) played by JonahHill.I tried to convince our friends to choose something else besides this,given all of the reviews I'd read and the trailers that I'd seen. But,someone else was paying, so I went along, figuring it couldn't be THATbad. Well, a couple of our friends walked out within 10 minutes and sawa different movie. Wish I'd followed their lead.This movie was vulgar for the sake of being vulgar and gross for thesake of being gross. If there was supposed to be a message, it was lostin the tsunami of bodily functions, profanity, drugs and alcohol thatnever stopped. All in all, a waste of time and money to anyone outside the 13-25demographic. Then again, that's where the cash must be nowadays,Hollywood keeps targeting them almost to the exclusion of the rest ofus.

I thought this move would be stupid but it was actually very good.

I'm not a fan of either Jonah Hill or Russell Brand and thought thismovie looked stupid and wasn't worth watching, I really did not want tosee it at all. My friends were telling me this movie was very good and I should seeit, so I gave it a chance. They were right, It was surprisingly veryfunny and entertaining. I laughed through the whole movie until theend.I really enjoyed this movie, the only things I didn't like is JonahHill Pukes way too much, and there was so much sex and nudity it wasn'teven sexy it was just raunchy.

Get him back to rehab?

n this new movie from the Judd Apatow comedy factory, a Hollywoodrecording company flack called Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) has the job ofgetting wildly unreliable, substance-abusing English rock star AldousSnow (Russell Brand) from London to LA for a concert in three days. Hesucceeds, just barely. And so does this unruly movie succeed, justbarely, in entertaining you -- if gross-out parties and sex and suchare your thing.Here's how Apatow movies work. The personnel move around and ideas arespun off earlier movies. Stoller, once an assistant and collaborator onApatow's TV series "Undeclared," directed the 2008 Forgetting SarahMarshall, his first feature, using a screenplay by Jason Segal andstarring Jason as a character spun off Segal's originaldaddy-of-them-all "Freaks and Geeks" TV series' lovelorn kid persona,Nick Andopolis. Brand was woven into Forgetting Sarah Marshall as theAldous Snow character. It was a minor role, but one of the highlightsof the movie. So why not spin out Aldous Brand into a screenplaydevoted to him as the main character? And that's what they did. Thequestion is whether Brand, a stand-up comic, is endurable over thelength of a whole movie. Get Him to the Greek, a disheveled road moviewith echoes of Todd Philips' very successful 2009 The Hangover (whosepraise and profits these folks were doubtless not unaware of), is justa series of skits with a lot of barfing and partying. It's got itsfunny moments, and Brand is still himself a pretty droll fellow, butthe story is very repetitive. (Economics commentator Paul Krugman andMetallica drummer Lars Ulrich are woven into this in cameos, but wedoubt they'll have Apatow comedies spun out of their characters.)Apatow comedies involve a revolving list of co-conspirators whoalternately act in, write, produce, or direct movies. Addous Snow, theoutrageous, funny, sort of cool and sexy rock singer who keeps thismovie going, is played by Russell Brand, a British comic who looks anddresses much like his character and, as detailed in his 2007autobiography My Booky Wook: A Memoir of Sex, Drugs, and Stand-Up, onceacted just like him too -- only, if anything, quite a lot worse. Thedifference is that Brand in real life has been clean and sober foryears and regularly attends 12-Step meetings. Like Robert Downey Jr.,he has lived the debauched addict life to the hilt (complete withnearly a dozen arrests) and so when he acts such a character, he'splaying a version of himself. Brand's character, Aldous, went straightfor a few years also, but then party-time began again, causing hislongtime girlfriend Jackie Q (Rose Byrne), also a famous rocker, to cutoff relations. Aaron's boss's idea is that a concert by Aldouscommemorating a famous evening at the Greek Theater in LA ten yearsearlier when he was at his peak of popularity will revive both Aldous'fortunes and the company's.Jonah Hill is practically a comedy factory of his own by now. He was inthe cornerstones of the Apatow movie empire, 40 Year Old Virgin,Knocked Up, and Superbad. He's just a straight man here, and toemphasize his straightness, he has a workaholic doctor-in-traininggirlfriend played by Mad Men's Elizabeth Moss. What's a nice girl likeher doing in a gross-out comedy like this? The tone of Get Him to theGreek can be wildly uneven. As Aaron Green's record company boss SergioRoma we have Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs, whose crisp delivery and absoluteself-possession in his scenes seem to belong to a more verbal comedywith sharper timing. The British actors playing Aldous' mum and dad(Diana Stabb and Colm Meaney) come from a more realistic kind ofcomedy. There are mock-ups of rock videos by Aldous and Jackie Q,including Aldous' bomb, "African Child," a mockery of rock stars'self-appointed and utterly skin-deep save-the-world poses. Brilliantlyrealized and perhaps the best things in the film, these again belong tosomething else, something parodic and outrageously witty, somethingwith an elaborate, gorgeous mise-en-scГѓВЁne. But the base line of themovie unfortunately is simply crudeness, as exemplified by the partieswhere girls take their boobs out and the sequence when Aldous forcesAaron to place a balloon of heroin up his rectum on the way throughairport security, or the (ha ha ha, ho ho ho) scenes when the obligingflack has to smoke a lethal joint called a Jeffrey or chug vodka andquickly becomes falling-down, upchucking sick-drunk.Russell Brand still is funny; and he delivers his rock singingsequences with impressive panache and some singing talent (some of thesongs, though, are just utterly crude and tasteless). This time, JasonSegal is given a partial writing credit just for the "characters' andStoller himself did the screenplay; I'm not sure how good a writerStoller is. There's not much room for character development in Aaronand Aldous' 24-hour-party trip. Take a look at Forgetting SarahMarshall again. Jason Segal's lovesick guy was a well-honed persona, acharacter it's easy to sympathize with who has some depth. Feelingsorry for that guy and feeling sorry for Aldous Snow are two differentthings. Drunken addict behavior is colorful and exciting, alright (likea train wreck), but it's not very funny to watch somebody ruining hislife. There are some keen observations about the addict mindset here.In Drugstore Cowboy the main character says the drug addict has controlover how he feels because he creates his moods with chemicals.Similarly Aldous says his life is simple because his only worry iswhere his next high is coming from. He also has a suicidal moment, andperforms on stage while badly injured because doing so brings joy tohis audience and to him. In this sense Get Him to the Greek has a niceending. But it take too long to get there.

My review For Get him to the Greek

This review is from: Get Him to the Greek (2-Disc Unrated Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) I only went to the Movie Theather to see this because the previews for this particular film looked very promising. So,when it was released I plunked down my hard earned $10.00 dollars to see this movie hoping not to be disappointed yet gain but to my surprise it turned out to be very funny indeed. It made me laugh from beginning to end as a good comedy should do!! I really enjoyed this movie!! I loved Russell brandt and Jonah Hill was very funny as well. They both equally cracked me up. I definitely recommend buying this movie and I was glad to added to my collection!!

Saw a screening in Hawai'i

Overall it was a good movie, if you're expecting Forgetting SarahMarshall then you'll enjoy about 10 seconds when this movie actuallyreferences Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Aside from that it is a funnymovie as a standalone film. It really hits its peak mid-movie...aroundVegas...Russell Brand is great as Snow. Jonah Hill doesn't seem to play hisprevious Sarah Marshall character. This does make the movie a littleodd as a "spinoff" since it really only contains one character that isthe same.It's worth seeing if you like these actors or movies like Superbad,Pineapple Express, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I Love You Man, RoleModels...etc.

Sarah Marshall Gone Wild

The tern 'toilet humor' is often thrown around without a care of howbroad it is. Outrageous, tasteless jokes can - and often are - donebadly, but when the script pulls no punches, the pacing stays good andthe performances are sharp, you can get quite a gem. Forgetting SarahMarshall did this well with off-kilter jokes and a hint of oddity. Butthis spin- off takes it well beyond that, adding a level of insanitythat elevates it even above the likes of the Hangover. In other words,if you liked that movie, you should watch this. It remains consistentlydemented, with Russel Brand's Aldous Snow keeping the fires burningwhile Jonah Hill as the blindsided intern makes the perfect haplessvictim. Also worth catching for Puff Daddy as a crazy record mogul anda sequence in Vegas that is just unforgettable.

The humor is pretty original and you definitely have no idea where the film is going at any time!

'GET HIM TO THE Greek': Four and a Half Stars (Out of Five) Nicholas Stoller writes and directs this sequel / spin-off to hissurprise 2008 hit 'FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL', which he directed andactor Jason Segel wrote. This film centers around only the outrageousBritish rock star Aldous Snow (played once again, hilariously, byRussell Brand) and a record company intern (played by returning actorJonah Hill, but weirdly not as the same character 'Matthew theWaiter'). This film tells the story of Aaron Green (Hill) trying to getSnow to a reunion concert at L.A.'s Greek Theater from London insomething like three days. The concert was his idea and his chance toprove himself to his boss (played humorously by Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs)but Snow is suffering through a midlife crisis and turns out to beimpossible to control. All kinds of hijinks ensue as Green desperatelytries to get Snow to the concert in time.The movie is just one witty and hilariously outrageous joke afteranother but then it surprisingly turns dramatic and at times serious aswe get to know the characters more and it actually builds to a prettyemotional climax. This is my favorite type of comedy. Not only is itnonstop hilarious but it has heart and real emotion as well because thecharacters feel real and we actually get to see their problems.The film is not quite as classic as 'MARSHALL' and it definitelydoesn't benefit from the stunningly graceful beauty of Kristin Bell,although she does make a cameo appearance, but it's about as good asyou could expect from a followup to that film, which is one of myfavorites. The humor is all pretty original and you definitely have noidea where the film is going at any time. It's brilliantly written anddirected by Stoller and both Brand and Hill are classic in the film.They're both comedic genius in my mind! Probably one of the funniestfilms you're likely to see this summer.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pmr_F8e44c

Not quite has funny as it tried to be.

Aaron(Jonah Hill) works for a big record company, in hopes to get a bigbreak, but one day finally gets it, when a music mogul(Sean PiddyCombs) asks him to go to London to get fading rock star AldousSnow(Russell Brand, reprising his Forgetting Sarah Marshall role), andget him to the Greek theater in 72 hrs, but Aaron is gonna discoverthat getting him there is not gonna be simply.The first half was pretty funny, but when it got to the second half,the films humor seems to get lost, even the hart of the matter seems tolose it's purpose. Jonah Hill is watchable, so was Sean Piddy Combsspoofing himself. Russell Brand was funny in the first part, but he gotreally annoying has the movie went on. I think it was trying to be likethis years The Hangover, but it just does not quite get there.

no big laughs but surprisingly good comedy.

Surprisingly good. Wrote the film off before the viewing, has somedepth and heart which saves it from being just another pervasive romp.The plot is actually a creative one, something we don't see a lot ofnowadays. Albeit the humor treads into "familiar gross-out" jokes,there are clever jokes too. But it's all you have to expect whenfollowing "Rock and Roll personified". Another point I was surprised bywas that a lot... a lot of the scenes from the trailers were not in themovie. I thought that was a good and bad thing. Good because it didn'tshow us stuff we've already seen and gave us the chance to see newstuff. But bad because a few of the scenes were real funny. Get Him tothe Greek is a decent comedy. Some parts were quite funny. But to behonest, as the movie went along the jokes began to fizzle out until Iwas almost bored for the last 15 minutes. Check it out, but I doubtyou'll be in a hurry to see it again soon. nice, cool. it was somehowslow, many scenes lacked laughs but overall a nice movie. not a usualsilly comedy, its somehow between a silly and witty comedy.
