Get Him to the Greek - Quick Review

The comedy "Get Him to the Greek" was released to theatres about a month ago. It tells the story of a music business guy named Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) who's gotta get British rock star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) all the way from London (and everywhere inbetween) to LA's Greek Theatre for a concert to help generate money for the ailing music industry. Aldous is an out of control star with drug/alchohol problems who's inclined to party every chance he gets.

The humor involved is not bad. Though it's often strange and comes out of left field sometimes, it has it's funny moments. The main thing I liked about this movie was the direction it took in the final half hour or so. It became a little serious (without being too much) and address the issue of substance abuse and overcoming it. It also show the process of mending relationships and has a positive ending.

It's a good movie, would've been great if it had been just a little bit funnier (and maybe not so awkward).....RENT IT.
