Remembering Sarah Marshall

Rating: 7/10 (22 April 2013)

Forgive me up front by saying: I truly believe both Johan Hill and Russell Brand might very well be comic geniuses. And this is coming from someone who only liked Brand in small doses, but always loved Hill.
Here, in the faux-pas sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek, they're both absolutely hilarious and despite the movie being a tad uneven and overlong, I had a great time with the misadventures of Hill's Aaron Green character who needs to lead his rock idol from London to L.A. for a reunion concert.
One Sunday, well, yesterday, I vegged by watching four movies and left this one for last – if I got to it, that is. It appears I did save the best for last, for, I had the most fun during this than the previous three movies, two of which, were supposedly cult comedies.
Normally, I would provide a synopsis, but I pretty much already did. Music recording enterprise employee, Aaron, must hand deliver Russell Brand's aging rock star, Aldous Snow, from England to several U.S. cities while trying to deal with both the crazy antics of the druggie has-been Aldous, his own possible ex-lover, Daphne and his eccentric boss, Sergio, played wonderfully by Sean Combs.
Like I already reported, the movie is a tad uneven as told with the sometimes directionless plot and clichéd shenanigans, but the basic concept keeps us entertained until the "big show" that will both further Aaron and Aldous's career.
I really did laugh out loud a lot during this movie and was sad that I missed it when it was released almost 3 years ago. It's not a movie I would want to buy, but I am glad I got a chance to see it, finally.
I know this is short, but, let me assure you, it is hilarious in most scenes, thanks to both Hill and Brand and all the secondary characters with inside jokes. It's highly recommended.
