“Get Him to the Greek” is the story of the rocker we came to love in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”. This time around I think I loved him a little more. Russell Brand is Aldous Snow, a rocker set on self-destruction following a separation from his true love and a failed album. Increasing his drug use and consistent drinking becomes a problem for intern Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) who has been given the task to get the rocker to his comeback concert at the Greek theatre. The ambitious intern comes up with a brilliant idea to bring millions of revenue to the suffering music industry by having Aldous have a comeback tour beginning in Los Angeles at the Greek Theatre.

Aaron may have bit off a little more than he can handle when he meets Aldous and finds this adventure is going to be a complicated one. From shots of absinthe to smuggling drugs at the airport the skits are endless and only lead to further delays of getting the rocker to his concert. After a brief visit to Vegas, Aaron and Aldous finally arrive in Los Angeles only to find another snag causing a serious delay of the show. Aaron must pull off his greatest work to ensure this concert is a smashing success and Aldous’ fans will be screaming for more.

“Get Him to the Greek” is a comical riot. The outrageous partying is similar to that of last year’s hit “The Hangover”. As enjoyable as Aaron and Aldous were to watch I found the characters were not as pleasing as leads. They seemed to fit in as everyone else and watching them for the entire run time eventually became tedious. Russell Brand in all of his awkwardness made this film a success. Sean Combs offered a stealer-supporting role in the film and was better than anticipated. I can’t say it is the hit of the summer, but this film should definitely be on your must see list that you can rock out to.
