Get Him To The Greek

'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' spin-off, 'Get Him To The Greek' (2010) follows budding record company intern Aaron Green, played by Jonah Hill, as he tries to maintain and deliver the world famous rock star Aldous Snow, played by Russell Brand to L.A's Greek Theatre. However, the task is easier said than done, as Aldous is recovering from an album flop through the use of copious amounts of drugs and women. Essentially, Aaron has every aspect of the wild world of rock and roll thrown upon him in a matter of days.

In true 'stardom' fashion, just about every celeb under the sun pops up for a little cameo, either effectively displaying just how mad and random the world of famous people can be with the premise that you never know who you'll bump into, or simply the makers of the film showing off who they have in their phone book. Although saying that, the latter is merely the realistic reflection of the former. In other words, it's full to the brim with familiar faces.

The film, is essentially Russell Brand's. And I believe it's important to know that going in. Jonah Hill's character is attempted to be built upon, however the glimpse at his relationship with his girlfriend doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the movie and so might as well be ignored. After all, Aldous Snow is the main character and Brand barely has to act as the events are so close to his past ‘roguish ways’ that it might as well be a documentary.

As a comedy, the film does work well. Nearly every scene will raise at least one chuckle, with the largest laugh coming from a hectic party sequence in which Hill's character descends into panic while fights break out around him, having to resort to the comforting babblings of Aldous. Sean Combs, aka P. Diddy, is particularly good as boss of Pinnacle Records and general nut job, Sergio Roma and completes the movie as an entertaining watch. I give it 3 Stars and ‘Get Him To The Greek’ is out in cinemas now.
