Jeffrey.....

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2010)

A side-quel to forgetting Sarah Marshall, which to be honest, wasn't very good, this sees one of the supporting characters who stole the show, returning for his own adventure.
Hill also returns, but as a totally different character to his previous. Brand plays Snow, who has just suffered a catastrophic flop in album sales, fallen out with his girlfriend and has fallen off the wagon.
What he needs is a comeback, and what a better way to do it than have a ten year anniversary show of his legendary Greek performance. The only problem is, Hill has to get him there from London on time.
As the old saying goes 'life imitating art', Brand almost plays himself as the Lothario Snow, who knows no bounds, and he is wonderful in every element. He is funny yes, but you can see when the guy is being dramatic, and he really turns into what should have been a stereotypical rock star, into a human being with emotions and weaknesses you really show empathy for.
Hill is really Brands fall guy, but he is funny in his own right, and the two have a great time on screen when they are together.
As you would expect from an Apatow production, there are big laughs, and some very uncomfortable set pieces always involving Hill, but you cannot help but watch whilst you are cringing.
The funniest part in my opinion has to be the ;Jeffrey' scene. It's impossible to explain, but it had me laughing for at least five minutes. There are also some random lines such as 'you look like Dennis Quaid' which are just so silly you cannot help but laugh.
It's slickly made well edited and the music is very good, with some hilarious support from Combs and Byrnes.
It may not translate well to people who are not familiar with Brand, but if you are, you'll know what to expect.
Very funny.
