Hilarious "sequel" to Aldous Snow's personal life since the events in Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Rating: 7/10 (28 July 2010)

This movie rocked the audience for what it was supposed to deliver. Great humor, fun times and of course, ludicrous situations and hilarious interpretations of those two main characters; Aldous Snow and Aaron Green. The story in this movie is filled with great situations that you would laugh your ass off. It has it's clicheic ideas at moments and you get the feeling that it might turn cheesy but right next there's something insane happening. The two characters are portrayed excellent by both Russell Brand and Jonah Hill, Diddy gave a solid performance as the clicheic routine-type of boss but with all these points in favor, Get Him To The Greek lacks of a great ending which brought the whole movie to down from what could have turn. The ending felt like it's just too much and tried to scream for "Hollywood Mainstream". Why ruin a very good comedy with a typical ending I don't know... The lack of ideas maybe??? This movie delivered the expected although being better than it's predecessor it's a rough thing to say.
The execution of the movie was handled very well, the video editing and cinematography was something really really well handled offering some great visuals along the chaotic humor. Besides the technical aspect, Get him to the Greek felt like I've seen the best comedy this year but also felt like it tried too much. There were plenty of moments where you were not amazed but dumbed down by some situations which in a normal world wouldn't occur. What I've been dazzled about was though the Aldous Snow character which is so great written and played in such a wonderful manner by Russell Brand offering a visual entertaining face of the iconic rockstar that has everything a guy would want. The opposite, Aaron Green, is a nobody in world that has nothing to offer for him except him being an exception. Jonah Hill was so good in playing the insecure (clicheic) type of nerdie dude that clinches to his job and kiss ass in order to be recognized. There were so many funny moments were the actual hilarity stood in Jonah's "straight-face".
In the end, I think this movie deserves the title of the best comedy this year thus far but it also leaves the door open for other comedies to kick it's ass, not like Kick-Ass but more like some Hangover kick-ass. It feels like the typical summer comedy but it's not. It's a deserving hilarious "sequel" to Aldous Snow's personal life since the events in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and by doing almost just that it succeeds in entertaining the audience.
