In Film: Get Him to the Greek

 

Judd Apatow strikes again, just not as hot.  "Get Him to the Greek" is a half spin-off from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" (which was absolutely a great movie, by the way).  Russell Brand is hillarious, Jonah Hill is bumbling, and P. Diddy is surprisingly great!  The whole story is that Jonah Hill, an aspiring music mogul, is trying to get a washed up, drug addicted rock star to the Greek Theater in L.A. for a comeback concert.

The Good: The comedy, of course!  Judd Apatow has a great comedic eye.  P. Diddy's character is amazing, always trying to "Mind-Fuck" people.

The Bad:  I lost attention a few times, due to lulls in the story/action.

The Ugly:  WTF happened to Jonah Hill?!?  I thought he was fat before, but he was kinda funny at least...in this movie, he didn't play a funny part, and he was even fatter!!! Ugh!!

Synopsis:  Rent it, watch it with a bunch of friends or if you just need a good laugh.  If you're a huge fan of the Judd Apatow movies, then go ahead and buy, but don't buy if you just want to own a funny movie.
