Get Him To The Greek

Another hit from the Apatow camp, Get Him To The Greek is really quite simple. Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) works at Pinnacle Studios and his boss, cooky and demanding CEO Sergio Roma (P.Diddy), gives him the demanding assignment of getting the notoriously difficult, drug addicted, rock star Aldous Snow to a 10th anniversary concert at LA's Greek Theatre. Now, personally those three names are partially what make the movie. As typical for an Apatow film, the jokes are funny, but what really makes the film is the ridiculous characters. Aldous Snow, a carry over from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, is a crazy british rockstar who sings over-the-top hits about anything from "The Clap" to "African Child[ren]", and Russell Brand does a great job of creating a seriously hilarious character. Surprisingly P.Diddy puts on a pretty good performance as Sergio Roma. All in all, the film is really fun to watch, will make you laugh, and even throws in a nice anti-drug message in the process. The only possible complaint is that in the last fourth of the movie the plot and characters start to get a little serious and experience some self-discovery. Viewers not looking for any sort of brain stimulation might find that annoying.

P.s. For some reason i am oddly attracted to Russell Brand. Katy Perry, yousa lucky lady!
