Great Hilarious Summer Comedy

Rating: 8/10 (20 July 2010)

In the soft chewy center of every Apatow movie there is a heartwarming message and that somehow has always flowed naturally with the movie no matter how raunchy.In Get Him to the Greek it didn't workout so well, it was kinda forced.Also,this movie never felt like it had a real lead. The movie is a spin-off of a supporting character from the movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" which in like every Apatow movie the supporting characters are the funniest parts, so what could go wrong when you make a movie from the funniest parts of an Apatow movie.The message get forced in at the last minute because the story isn't making any progress because jokes are being told every 5 seconds its not a bad thing but it kills the buzz at the last 15 mins and slows down this really fast paced movie.The movie starts funny and it just gets crazier and more raunchy as it goes but the message slows it down and it feels out of place plus this brought memories from Walk Hard the other musician Apatow movie which in the directors cut has 35 minutes in the comeback phase of the artist.It feels like Apatow liked that so much that he picked his other character that sings and made a movie out of it. Walk hard is a more quotable movie but Get him to the Greek is better but unlike Walk Hard its dated thanks too way to many pop culture references and cameos which was the bad thing with Funny People way to many cameos there are all funny but not all of them are necessary.The movie is really funny.Russell Brand is insane,Jonah Hill is funny but he has done better.Diddy steals every scene he is in but what made this movie is the insane amount of not giving a crap that Russell Brand brings he is the Rock Star of comedy and the f'd up moments are really f'd up even for Apatow,the dildo scene was hilarious.
Too sum up.The movie is really enjoyable and hilarious.The heartwarming moment was out of place but well executed to a certain degree.Russell Brand is top-notch.And I know I mentioned Apatow names a bunch of times but this is really Director Nicholas Stollers movie.
8/10 It's a really funny movie but it wont be as memorable as other Apatow produced or directed films Rent it
