Get Him To The Greek (2010)

A lot of my friends told me that this was a good film and usually I like movies that star Jonah Hill (Superbad). So, I had to take their advice and I had to check it out. The movie is about an eager employee (Hill) at a fictional record company owned by Sean "Diddy" Combs, who gets the chance to meet and escort his favorite washed up rock star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) to the Greek in Cali. The only catch for him is that he has 72 hours to excort him there and Snow isn't the easiest person to escort as Hill figures that out real quick. Brand's character is dealing with a lot of issues like no more sobriety and the fact his wife (Rose Byrne) left him and Hill's character Aaron is also battling with the fact that his girlfriend wants to move to Seattle and she broke up with him. It's a wild journey for the both of them as Brand really tests Hill through out the whole movie. I do have to say that Brand's character reminded me of dead INXS singer Michael Hutchinson with the way he performs on stage. The movie starts off with a music video and all these interviews with real life TV personalities like Billy Bush, Kurt Loder, Meredith Viera, and many appearances from people like Rick Schroder, Christina Augilera, Lars Ulrich, and Pharrell Williams. The movie also stars Aziz Asnari (Funny People), Elisabeth Moss (Girl, Interrupted), Colm Meany (Con Air), and Carla Gallo (Superbad). I give the movie a B+
