Disspointing, especially cause Russell Brand is so talented.

Rating: 6/10 (10 October 2010)

Its rare when a sequel tops the original. The Dark knight did, T2 did, Star wars did, but those are the only ones I can think of. Some sequels aren't necessary. Home alone is that way. So was Bruce almighty, and The Mask didn't need one either. Get him to the Greek is sort of a sequel. It doesn't top the original, and it's unnecessary. But still a good movie.
Jonah Hill doesn't reprise his role as the desperate waiter who loves Aldous Snow(Russell Brand). He does love Aldous Snow, but this time he isn't trying to get famous, he's trying to Get Aldous back on track.
Snow's career went downhill after this horrible album called African child. So, 10 years after he performed at The Greek theatre, he's going back. In hopes to boost his career back. So Aaron must get him to the theatre in 3 days.
The movie is very funny when it tries. The moments with Sean Combs(Didi) especially. But somethings about this movie didn't work for me. The movie doesn't follow it's timeline. Two years ago, he was dating Sarah Marshall. And now, according to Get him to the Greek, he has a kid? What? We don't want to see Aldous the family man. It's lame.
I'm a little mixed on Jonah Hill I like him sometimes, but sometimes he's very annoying. He's not very annoying here, but he's still sort of annoying. I'd of thought that Aldous Snow having his own movie would be great. Russell Brand is obviously hilarious. And a lovable lead. But unfortunately, he's given a story line that falls flat. I understand why they brought him back. I liked the movie. But it could've been better.
I was a big fan of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I am a 'Sorrow Sucker', which Aldous nicknamed his fans. I loved that movie. I liked Get him to the Greek, but I feel it lacks something. It lacks something that that movie had. Can't put my finger on it. Brand should not be punished. It's disappointing, but still occasionally hilarious.
