Yes, I laughed but it is mostly a disappointment the Russell Brand/Jonah Hill stuff from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" was funnier

Rating: 6/10 (11 December 2010)

It's been a while since I watched FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL (and a while since I don't write a IMDb comment). I recall watching it twice in less than four days it's, simply, a darn hilarious movie.
A spin-off? Yes, here it is. I was really looking forward to watch GET HIM TO THE Greek, and a couple of days ago I ran across its R4 DVD (it was never released in theaters here in Mexico City). Well, I'm sure of two things: 1. Jonah Hill is gaining weight, as he is getting less and less funny (still he knows how to sing the Mars Volta!). 2. Russell Brand's Aldus Snow is a hilarious character that worked much better as a minor "just for the fun" one.
As I remember, their stuff in "Sarah Marshall" delivered pretty much the greatest laughs of the movie (here Jonah Hill plays a completely different character tough). It was a simple situation: rock star dealing with a fan, (who is basically in love with him). Here we have a similar situation: same rock star dealing with a young man who works in the music business and who is also a huge fan. Laughs? Yes, we do have laughs, is pretty much inevitable having a guy like Brand (I would say "like Hill" too but like I said, he is losing it and certainly a not- just-for-the-fun part, the exact we have here, doesn't fit him extremely well) but the movie never really feels like something fresh, like something worthy. It's a movie to see only once, that's for sure. 6.5 out of 10
