As far as other reviews go, I appose them all. Get him to the Greek may be an over the top, eyeful of a comedy, but I agree when comparisons have been made, and taglines read it’s this year’s Hangover. If any movie has made me laugh from start to finish so far this year, it’s this film. With fan favorite stars and an easily comic plot, there’s not much room for error in this feature.

Russell Brand stars as down and out British rock star Aldous Snow. After destroying his career with what is slated as the worst album of all time ‘African Child’ for its racial and country destroying material, Snow becomes a washed up, drug and alcohol-abusing has-been. His wife Jackie Q (Rose Byrne), and mother to his child leave him, and he ends up friendless living with his mother. Even though he still has a huge fan-base, Aldous is failing at completing or even appearing for his own shows, with his imbibed state preventing him from recapturing his successful career.

Across the pond, Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) is working for a record company and living with his girlfriend Daphne (Elisabeth Moss). Though her job, as a constantly on call nurse has a very upsetting affect on their relationship. Aaron grew up to Aldous Snow and is a huge fan, so when his boss Sergio Roma (P Diddy) tells his staff that they need big ideas to boost revenue, Aaron dives at the chance of pitching a comeback show for Aldous at the Greek theatre. Before leaving to collect Aldous from London, Aaron and Daphne go through trouble and essentially split, clearly leaving Aaron free to enjoy the events ahead.

After meeting up with Aldous Snow, the following days turn into the fast paced comedy you would expect from Hill and Brand. Parties full of drugs, drink and women, all leading to extreme moments of Aaron being forced to smuggle drugs for Aldous in a very unpleasant way, as well as sex in toilets and scenes full of Aaron throwing up, most of the time down the front of his suit. All of this has a worthwhile outcome for Aaron’s patience when Aldous forgets the words to African Child and takes his advice, singing a more classic and respected song at the press junket before the show. The two end up bonding over the course of the journey, and even though a very awkward scene between Aaron and Daphne’s make-up takes a route of a threesome with Aldous, the movie doesn’t lose much pace and continues to give some humor during the development of a very cringe worthy scene. Emotions of the rock star and his loneliness are also a pivotal aspect of the movie, but are played out well to intertwine with the comedic values.

Get Him To The Greek is a rollercoaster of an adventure with it’s ups and downs in a very over the top (In a good way) portrayal of a rock star lifestyle, with cameos a plenty and jokes that will stick in your mind for years to come. Director and writer Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) alongside Co-Producer Jud Apatow (Superbad) couldn’t be more on the money with this movie. Although I prefer Hill’s more openly rude and obnoxious characters we are all used to seeing, he plays the more tame characters well also. For anyone with a sense of humor and an open mind (to not pick holes in the corny clichés), you would not regret spending your money on this film. An enjoyable film all round.
