Fans of Forgetting Sarah Marshal need to go into this movie realising that it is not the same Type of movie. The timeline doesn't quite tie together and the humor is far less clever. However, It's a great time. I was laughing every Fans of Forgetting Sarah Marshal need to go into this movie realising that it is not the same Type of movie. The timeline doesn't quite tie together and the humor is far less clever. However, It's a great time. I was laughing every 5 minutes save the occasional emotional tie-ins. The movie is a very hard-R, that occasionally goes over the top, but was easily worth the price of admission. I highly recommend it. Not especially clever, but extremely funny.

I am beyond perplexed at some of these negative reviews. One guy says "75% of the theater laughed hysterically through most of the movie," yet gives the movie a 3, complete with pretentious yet meaningless adjectives to describe it? Please. I am beyond perplexed at some of these negative reviews. One guy says "75% of the theater laughed hysterically through most of the movie," yet gives the movie a 3, complete with pretentious yet meaningless adjectives to describe it? Please. I'll gladly admit that this was not a perfect film: simple plot, unnecessary drama, etc... But it was undoubtedly HILARIOUS... at least to anyone with a sense of humor it was. Hence the overall 7 rating. Full of funny and wild moments, Get Him To The Greek may not fill you with Oscar buzz, but it will certainly leave you entertained.… Expand

When I first heard that a spin-off was being made of one of my favorite comedies of all times, I was kind of worried, but I am relieved to report that Get Him to the Greek does justice to Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Greek takes the eccentric When I first heard that a spin-off was being made of one of my favorite comedies of all times, I was kind of worried, but I am relieved to report that Get Him to the Greek does justice to Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Greek takes the eccentric rock star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) from Forgetting Sarah Marshall and makes him a much bigger character. Brand was fantastic in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and is even better in this one. The plot involves Aaron Green (Jonah Hill), who works for a record company and must escort Snow to a comeback concert to get the revenue flowing again. As you can imagine, these two get into quite some interesting situations. The two characters work great on the screen together, creating a constant flow of laughs from start to finish; however, there is also another character that caught my eye. His name is P. Diddy. He may not be a top-notch actor, but he delivers some of the funniest lines of the movie. There is one specific scene with all three characters that may be the funniest scene I… Expand

Sean Combs is in this movie and he's really funny too and I love the way when Combs plays a executive producer. This is the sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall,but I prefer Sarah Marshall better,because I'm happy with both of them and this is best sequel so far that is good. But you will enjoy this f@#$ing film and you will laugh so HARD that is really funny!… Expand

It was not as good or funny as Sarah Marshall though. Russell Brand was not as funny as he could have been but that was a result of the script/writing. My wife did not care for this movie and thought it was stupid, but she was also in kind of a **** mood when we saw it, plus I picked it which made it easier for her not to like! Good comedies seem to be few and far between, this one is not perfect but definitely worth seeing.… Expand

People are inclined to compare it to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, since they're both written by Segel and feature the same rockstar character, Aldous Snow (Russel Brand), but the movies should be taken separately, as they are nothing alike. Sarah Marshall thrives because of not only its comedy, but because of its heart and charm. Get Him to The Greek is all about the laughs, and at multiple points in the movie it had me laughing uncontrollably and without stopping for more than five minutes straight. Also, not to give anything away, but after all the laughs it hit me with a surprisingly touching moment at the end. 10/10… Expand

However, forEveryone has dreams some people dream of being a rock star and taking the world by storm, some people dream of being huge movie stars and have fans scream there name as they walk down the carpet to the premiere of their movie. However, for some they are just dreams and Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) is no exception you see Aaron is like most people he dreams big however, his dreams never can fully come to fruition due to his place on the totem pole of life. What Aaron wants more than anything else in the world is to be just like his rock star hero Aldous Snow(Russell Brand) he wants to live like Aldous, he wants to party like Aldous, he wants the women that Aldous can get. Essentially Aaron Green wants to be Aldous Snow and he may get his chance when he comes up with an idea for his record label to put on an anniversary concert for the rock star at the Greek theater. Hoping to meet his hero and at the same time revive the long dead rockers career bringing him back into favor with the public. Now all Aaron has to do is "Get him to the Greek.â… Expand

"Get Him To The Greek"

***

Russel Brand renews his role as "Aldous Snow" from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", in the new outrageous comedy "Get Him To The Greek".

Review
Teamwork and chemistry. I think it's the key to most films, but in particular comedies. As you have seen the few comedies I have liked this year it had great cast's with loads of chemistry (Hot Tub Time Machine and The Other Guys).

Nicholas Stoller who directed "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" is really good at balancing comedic moments and genuine romantic scenes. With that being said, "Get Him To The Greek" does what a lot of comedies do these days, which is it's funny for half of the film then towards last quarter of the the movie it gets really repetitive and drawn out.

However the last ten minutes of the movie were extremely funny and honestly most of that credit goes to Jonah Hill (Superbad and Funny People) and surprisingly P-Diddy. "Get Him To Greek" is not nearly as audacious and unforgettable as "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", but it's still a good mix of slap-stick comedy and good story telling from Stoller and Segel. B for "Get Him To The Greek"… Expand

A lot better than I thought it would be based on the commercials. One of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time.
