Get Him to the Greek

Dinner for Schmucks Meets Superbad

This movie isn't as good as "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" the film it follows, but its not too bad either. The only problem is, in "Sarah Marshall" Russell Brand plays the same character while Jonah Hill plays someone completely different. In this, Hill stars as Aaron Green, a young record company intern with big dreams of making it to the top. He feels like his life's going nowhere, but his big break comes when he's given the chance to escort unruly rockstar has-been Aldest Snow, ex boyfriend of Sarah Marshall across the globe for a concert. Green has 72 hours to get him from London to the Greek Theater in LA and thinks everything should be fine, but along the way a few things happen that slow things down...just a little. Snow, a once platinum selling artist, has become an out of control partying druggie with some deep seeded emotional problems. He has a hard time understanding some things, but Green is determined to let nothing stand in his way, no matter what comes along. Get Him to the Greek isn't quite as funny or as Smart as some of Judd Apatow's previous works but its certainly worth seeing if your into movies like "Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Knocked Up, The 40 Year Old Virgin....ect" if not try to avoid this movie. Don't go looking for any moral fiber or good messages, but if your just looking for some cheap laughs and a good time, this may just be an enjoyable movie.
