Get Him to the Greek review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 07/11/12
Aldous Snow's (Russell Brand) career is on the decline. Head of Pinnacle Records Sergio Roma (P. Diddy) is searching for fresh ideas to improve revenue. Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) suggests on getting Snow to play at the L.A.'s Greek Theatre. Direction was MTV like though the cameo's, utilizing pop culture resources were intuitive. The flick obviously had a killer soundtrack and laughable original songs for the rock star. Brand was obnoxious and rowdy while Hill obedient and subtle, both made solid efforts. P. Diddy was cool playing out the comedic scenes. Some sequences were just too difficult to believe such as the drugs and fight after the "Jeffrey" drug. Not as funny as most comedies though it has a heart in a way with topics on monogamy, father figures, friendship, fame, and loneliness. Get Him to the Greek is an alright film to view for those interested in egoistic rock stars and music business.
