Movie Review: Get Him to the Greek

I ended up seeing “Get Him to the Greek” today with one of my friends. Check out my review below to see if its worth your time.

Plot:

Aaron Greenberg (Jonah Hill) gets things done. The ambitious 23-year-old has exaggerated his way into a dream job just in time for a career-making assignment. His mission: Fly to London and escort a rock god to L.A.s Greek Theatre for the first-stop on a $100-million tour. His warning: Turn your back on him at your own peril. British rocker Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) is both a brilliant musician and walking sex. Weary of yes men and piles of money, the former front man is searching for the meaning of life. But that doesnt mean he cant have a few orgies while he finds it. When he learns his true love is in California, Aldous makes it his quest to win her backright before kick-starting his world domination.

As the countdown to the concert begins, one intern must navigate a minefield of London drug smuggles, New York City brawls and Vegas lap dances to deliver his charge safe and, sort of, sound. He may have to coax, lie to, enable and party with Aldous, but Aaron will get him to the Greek. (From IMDB.com)

My Review:
I wasn’t sure what to expect when walking into the theater. The previews looked good, but sometimes the best parts are shown and the rest of the movie is ok. However, the movie proved to be funnier then I imagined and wasn’t too over the top. For an added bonus there are a few references to the movie “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”. Be sure to check out this flick.

Rating: ★★★★☆
