COMMUNITY REVIEWS

super... submitted by lekendrick on January 8, 2012, 6:04am it's decent far as jonah hill movies are concerned in this one he does more & is as intricate story telling any he's ever been involved w/ the silliness even over top sleaze a russell brand cuts well w/ the amiable happiness hill! Sean Combs is excellent in his role few failings a zany & for drug excess as the subject matter even light of heart impart point as well those that enable have vest interests in mind! Behind the joy an emptiness, but not overly sad? If that makes any sense the connection drug use & enablers is made w/o preaching more by course cause & effect!

Get Him to the Greek submitted by emjane on July 14, 2012, 8:06pm Get Him to the Greek follows Aaron Green (Jonah Hill), an under-appreciated record company employee, as he attempts to escort washed-out, drugged up rock star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) to a concert at the Greek Theater. As one might expect, everything that could go wrong in this transportation process, does.

The movie was very hit or miss for me. Though there were some scenes that cracked me up, like the “furry wall” one the movie will likely be remembered for, they were outnumbered by the attempts at humor that didn’t land. I never thought I would say this, but I thought Diddy was the funniest actor/character in the movie. Make of that what you will.

Get Him to the Greek follows the comedy blueprint that has worked well for movies of the previous two summers like The Hangover and Superbad: there is some time-sensitive problem (get rock star to the gig, groom to the wedding, or booze to the party) and a duo (or trio) of guys have lots of comical obstacles until they solve it. But unlike in Superbad and The Hangover, I wasn’t endeared to the characters; I just didn’t care if they succeeded in the end. Also, I didn’t laugh as much.

Funny submitted by tassosv on August 31, 2012, 10:40pm The first 10 minutes of this movie are hilarious. The rest is really good, but it kind of wandered in the end.

"When the world slips you a Jeffrey, stroke the furry wall."
