Not what I expected... To say the least

I sat down with 3 other people and between the 4 of us I thought we could get a pretty good consensus on this movie. We were very excited to see this movie because: 1. We heard it was hilarious and 2. We love Forgetting Sarah Marshall. So we sit down and watch the movie and during the film every now and then I would stop and think, when is this going to get funny, and I just thought that the laughs were coming soon. When the movie finally did try to be funny it was in gross ways, and I do not consider myself an easily offended person. At one point when all of characters are in drug-induced mayhem the viewer has to ask themself, what is happening and how does it make it any sense? I personally think Russell Brand is hilarious, but I feel that Get Him To The Greek did not allow him free-reign over improv or his lines. All in all we consented, all four of us, that Get Him To The Greek was approx. 90 minutes of complete wasted time. Usually during good movies a viewer sits and watches the credits for a few seconds or even minutes and revels in how good the movie they just saw was; tragically the second I saw the credits begin to roll on Get Him To The Greek I promptly turned the TV off and got on with my life. Sad to say, but this movie disappointed on all levels.

Surprisingly Good

I remember seeing the trailers for this movie just before it was released and dismissed it. I'm not much for comedies and this one looked typically brainless, the kind that falls into a general category of gross, infantile humor with lots of drugs, sex and booze. Well, yeah there was some of that, but I found myself actually liking all the primary characters, even (and perhaps especially) Aldous Snow, the "Him" who needs to be gotten to the Greek Theater in LA.Pity poor Aaron Green, a mild-mannered guy who works for a record company that needs a financial shot in the arm (no pun intended). His idea, launched in a staff meeting, is to resurrect burned-out rocker Aldous Snow's career and celebrate the 10th anniversary of a hit album he produced, apparently the *last* hit he produced before he fell off the wagon. The anniversary concert is to take place at the Greek Theater with not much lead time, and Aaron has been charged with the job of flying to London to bring him back for the gala in 72 hours.Along the way, despite Aaron's best efforts, Aldous tends to wander like a dog off-leash, leading them from one orgy to the next, unconcerned about his looming deadline, with Aaron chasing after him and trying to coax him back on track. A smart man who does stupid things, we discover that Aldous is simply lost. His former girlfriend is sleeping with Lars Ulrich (wow, that was an amazing surprise), he's tired of the emptiness of his life, and he's lonely. I believe this pathos is what saves the story.We also get a boatload of cameo appearances, including Meredith Viera on the Today Show, Kurt Loder from Rolling Stone, the real Lars Ulrich, Pink and some others.This movie isn't for everyone, but I thought it wasn't for me either. I was wrong.

The star handler

It appears with all the good elements going into "Get Him to theGreek", it would have been another triumph for the Judd Apatow comedyfactory, but something happened on its way to the screen. We are sureall the amazing people that worked on the project had their bestintentions for giving the viewer a good time at the movies. The comedyis not exactly inspired and at times it falls flat.The basic excuse for watching the film is to see the amazing RussellBrand as the rock star trying to stay sober and free of drugs. JonahHill has done better in other films, especially as Matthew the Waiter,in the much better "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", of which this film is aspin off. Elisabeth Moss as Aaron's girlfriend, give us a break! No onecan believe that one. Sean Combs shows up as the obnoxious head of thestar's record label.Jason Segel, who co-wrote the score with director Nicholas Stollershould have learned that sequels do not always work, and this film is aproof of it. There are a few things that work and are funny, but forthe most part it is a rehash on some other comedies of this genre.

Get Him to the Greek (2010)

I was cautious of this film. I'm not a brand fan, but thought he wasexcellent in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. However, that was a smallerrole. Now he's the star. Is Aldous Snow good enough to carry his ownfeature? Just about. The scriptwriters give him a bit more backstory,involving a failed marriage, and do eventually give an an emotionalfocus as a sad and lonely rock god. The film is also very funny, thoughthis may have been aided by a bottle of wine. One scene had melaughing, uncontrollably, with tears streaming down my face. Itinvolved Brand, Hill, Diddy and Colm Meaney, on drugs, screaming and afurry wall. The humour is broader than Marshall, with plenty of vomit,drug and sex gags. At almost two hours it is stretching its welcome,but I was very entertained.

3 1/2 stars for sequel of sorts to "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"

Here's another pretty damn funny Apatow produced movie made for the same guys who used to go to the "Porky" movies in their younger days. Yes this is more sophisticated and funnier but it's still playing to a certain audience. That doesn't mean it doesn't have a message, or even that it doesn't have sweet moments, I'm just saying. I did find myself laughing pretty hard several times. Jonah Hill is great as the gofer for the British rock star Aldous Snow. I also have a new found appreciation for Rose Byrne who here-to-fore I only knew from TV's "Damages" or "28 Weeks Later". Here she doffs most of her clothes in a sexually charged comedic foil for Russell Brand's Snow. While not specifically a sequel, the movie is a spin off from the superior "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."

Constant chuckling and the occasional belly laugh are on offer.

Russell Brand is charismatic. No two ways about it. He oozes aneffortless charm that sucks you in whether you like it or not. Which islucky, because his Aldous Snow is completely unlikeable for the mostpart and is only palatable thanks to Brand's aforementioned qualities.His nonchalant approach towards what other people think and hisegotistical attitude – in real life that is – suits the portrayal of arock star perfectly, to the extent that it's extremely difficult toascertain whether this is life imitating art or vice-versa, such arethe similarities between actor and character.However for Brand's ying there is Jonah Hill's yang. Polar opposites injust about every way, Hill provides the ideal counterbalance to thebrash British comedian. He is subdued, straight-faced and subtle – theadrenaline shot sequence being an exception – but just as funny, if notmore. Where Brand relies on outspoken brazenness for laughs, the chubbyAmerican elicits humour with measured wit and authentic comic timing,as evidenced by his superb comebacks throughout the film.With the brilliant chemistry between its differing leads and thesurprisingly terrific support by the usually dramatic co-stars – Combsis hilarious whilst Byrne and Meaney are in roles you would neverexpect to see them in – you would think GHTTG is a sure-fire hit, andit looks that way for the first 75 minutes. Unfortunately it begins tofall to pieces come the final act when writer-director Stoller opts totake a serious route and deliver a clichéd moral point rather thansticking with the unabashed entertainment of the first two acts. Thisserious misstep in tone finishes the movie on a low and undoes some ofthe good work that proceeded it, though not enough to dampen theoverall experience.Constant chuckling and the occasional belly laugh are on offer in thissolid, if ultimately forgettable, comedy.3 out of 5 (1 - Rubbish, 2 - Ordinary, 3 - Good, 4 - Excellent, 5 -Classic)

Funny

"Get Him to the Greek" had me cracking up within the first two minutesof the opening scene. I am not Russell Brands biggest fan, but I haveto admit his portrayal as Aldous Snow, the totally drugged outalcoholic rock star was spot on and comical. Jonah Hill played theawkward, but lovable Aaron Green great as well. I was also reallysurprised how well P. Diddy did acting in this film.This movie is full of stupid laughs, but stupid laughs are my favorite.It reminds me a lot of Superbad; the plot really isn't all that amusingbut the one-liners and the actor's delivery definitely bring thelaughs."Get Him to the Greek" is definitely a movie I would put in and watchto de-stress and get a few good laughs out of after a bad day. It isone of the first movies that had me almost in the floor laughing in thetheater in a very long time.

The bit players make the film work.

A young intern at a record company is given the task of escorting anold and out of control rock star to the Greek theatre, for a comebackgig that will earn the company millions. Was the character from Forgetting Sarah Marshall really likable, orpopular enough to warrant a spin-off film? Someone thought so, thus wehave Get Him To The Greek, where Russell Brand plays Aldous Snow. Whilehe has had smaller roles in other films, it's this flick and Marshall,where people recognize him. Those who do not know this is a spin offmight think he is a note note actor. We'll see when more work goes hisway. Jonah Hill does his thing, make snide comic remarks at situationsthat seem to be one of the chosen bits from a line- o-rama piece. Justhave him stand there, spit out random things that are funny and we'llpick the best one. I hope his style doesn't get old fast, or he's introuble. The film works for the most part, it's not as funny as you'd want it tobe. The people that make this film funny are the supporting characters.Brand and Hill are probably the least funniest thing about this film.Sean "P.Diddy" Combs stands out, surprisingly. He has the comedic chopsthat fit this film and he worked it well. Colm Meaney, a characteractor notorious for playing a-holes is hilarious as Snow's father. Hisscenes are great as well.Get Him To The Greek is mild entertainment, there are far more funnierfilms out there than this one and the characters are pretty genericthat you don't seem to care if they make it to the theatre or not. Oneof the weaker Apatow style films, which is a shame because it has a lotof talent. Get Him To The Greek, is as I initially expected, a mediocrecomedy that barely gets the laughs out. Still, it's funnier than a lotof comedies that came out the same year.

Love it

I cannot understand how anyone didn't enjoy this movie - it was thefunniest thing I have seen in years, and I am very hard to please whenit comes to comedy films - most of them are juvenile, corny andrepetitive - not this one, some people on here need to get their headsout of their backsides.All three "leads", Russell Brand, Jonah Hill and P. Diddy or whateverhe's called these days, do a great job - I have a feeling that thepeople who didn't like this movie are too stupid to understand thesubtleties of some of the humour, they probably prefer intellectualstuff like Deuce Bigalow and Police Academy!

Feedback

This review is from: Get Him to the Greek (Single-Disc Edition) (DVD) The product arrived just as it was supposed too. I would definitely use this consumer again. I was very satisfied.

Charles Herold (2012-05-14 02:48)

very funny, especially Sean Combs

Russell Brand was quite amusing in Forgetting Sarah Marshall playing apretentious yet rather likable rock star. Brand's character might seemlike something that would work best in small doses, but he workssurprisingly well as a major character in this crazier take on the MyFavorite Year theme of a nice boy who has to babysit a famous lunatic.Produced by Judd Apatow, this movie could be seen as a commentary onthe guy's wish fulfillment theme of so many of his films. Here we havea nebbish who gets to lead the life of a rock star, but this is notportrayed as a good thing, making it more of a be-careful-what-you-wishfor theme.Brand is very funny in this film (and in the end proves he'd make apretty good rock star), but it is Sean Combs who supplies the biggestlaughs with a take-no-prisoners performance as a music studio head.Brand's peculiar charisma and the movie's frenetic pace work well, andover all I enjoyed this movie a bit more than Forgetting SarahMarshall.

Get him back to rehab?

n this new movie from the Judd Apatow comedy factory, a Hollywoodrecording company flack called Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) has the job ofgetting wildly unreliable, substance-abusing English rock star AldousSnow (Russell Brand) from London to LA for a concert in three days. Hesucceeds, just barely. And so does this unruly movie succeed, justbarely, in entertaining you -- if gross-out parties and sex and suchare your thing.Here's how Apatow movies work. The personnel move around and ideas arespun off earlier movies. Stoller, once an assistant and collaborator onApatow's TV series "Undeclared," directed the 2008 Forgetting SarahMarshall, his first feature, using a screenplay by Jason Segal andstarring Jason as a character spun off Segal's originaldaddy-of-them-all "Freaks and Geeks" TV series' lovelorn kid persona,Nick Andopolis. Brand was woven into Forgetting Sarah Marshall as theAldous Snow character. It was a minor role, but one of the highlightsof the movie. So why not spin out Aldous Brand into a screenplaydevoted to him as the main character? And that's what they did. Thequestion is whether Brand, a stand-up comic, is endurable over thelength of a whole movie. Get Him to the Greek, a disheveled road moviewith echoes of Todd Philips' very successful 2009 The Hangover (whosepraise and profits these folks were doubtless not unaware of), is justa series of skits with a lot of barfing and partying. It's got itsfunny moments, and Brand is still himself a pretty droll fellow, butthe story is very repetitive. (Economics commentator Paul Krugman andMetallica drummer Lars Ulrich are woven into this in cameos, but wedoubt they'll have Apatow comedies spun out of their characters.)Apatow comedies involve a revolving list of co-conspirators whoalternately act in, write, produce, or direct movies. Addous Snow, theoutrageous, funny, sort of cool and sexy rock singer who keeps thismovie going, is played by Russell Brand, a British comic who looks anddresses much like his character and, as detailed in his 2007autobiography My Booky Wook: A Memoir of Sex, Drugs, and Stand-Up, onceacted just like him too -- only, if anything, quite a lot worse. Thedifference is that Brand in real life has been clean and sober foryears and regularly attends 12-Step meetings. Like Robert Downey Jr.,he has lived the debauched addict life to the hilt (complete withnearly a dozen arrests) and so when he acts such a character, he'splaying a version of himself. Brand's character, Aldous, went straightfor a few years also, but then party-time began again, causing hislongtime girlfriend Jackie Q (Rose Byrne), also a famous rocker, to cutoff relations. Aaron's boss's idea is that a concert by Aldouscommemorating a famous evening at the Greek Theater in LA ten yearsearlier when he was at his peak of popularity will revive both Aldous'fortunes and the company's.Jonah Hill is practically a comedy factory of his own by now. He was inthe cornerstones of the Apatow movie empire, 40 Year Old Virgin,Knocked Up, and Superbad. He's just a straight man here, and toemphasize his straightness, he has a workaholic doctor-in-traininggirlfriend played by Mad Men's Elizabeth Moss. What's a nice girl likeher doing in a gross-out comedy like this? The tone of Get Him to theGreek can be wildly uneven. As Aaron Green's record company boss SergioRoma we have Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs, whose crisp delivery and absoluteself-possession in his scenes seem to belong to a more verbal comedywith sharper timing. The British actors playing Aldous' mum and dad(Diana Stabb and Colm Meaney) come from a more realistic kind ofcomedy. There are mock-ups of rock videos by Aldous and Jackie Q,including Aldous' bomb, "African Child," a mockery of rock stars'self-appointed and utterly skin-deep save-the-world poses. Brilliantlyrealized and perhaps the best things in the film, these again belong tosomething else, something parodic and outrageously witty, somethingwith an elaborate, gorgeous mise-en-scène. But the base line of themovie unfortunately is simply crudeness, as exemplified by the partieswhere girls take their boobs out and the sequence when Aldous forcesAaron to place a balloon of heroin up his rectum on the way throughairport security, or the (ha ha ha, ho ho ho) scenes when the obligingflack has to smoke a lethal joint called a Jeffrey or chug vodka andquickly becomes falling-down, upchucking sick-drunk.Russell Brand still is funny; and he delivers his rock singingsequences with impressive panache and some singing talent (some of thesongs, though, are just utterly crude and tasteless). This time, JasonSegal is given a partial writing credit just for the "characters' andStoller himself did the screenplay; I'm not sure how good a writerStoller is. There's not much room for character development in Aaronand Aldous' 24-hour-party trip. Take a look at Forgetting SarahMarshall again. Jason Segal's lovesick guy was a well-honed persona, acharacter it's easy to sympathize with who has some depth. Feelingsorry for that guy and feeling sorry for Aldous Snow are two differentthings. Drunken addict behavior is colorful and exciting, alright (likea train wreck), but it's not very funny to watch somebody ruining hislife. There are some keen observations about the addict mindset here.In Drugstore Cowboy the main character says the drug addict has controlover how he feels because he creates his moods with chemicals.Similarly Aldous says his life is simple because his only worry iswhere his next high is coming from. He also has a suicidal moment, andperforms on stage while badly injured because doing so brings joy tohis audience and to him. In this sense Get Him to the Greek has a niceending. But it take too long to get there.

Get To The Greek, and make us laugh.

Another comedy classic. They took two of the most promising comedicactors and put them together to make one great film. The one thing thatI was not expecting was P Diddy being that great of a comedian. P Diddywas hilarious and laugh out loud funny, I had a hard time controllingmy laughter to all his jokes and segments. Russel Brand also makesanother great performance by bringing back his character Aldous Snowwho was also in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Jonah Hill however, yet hewas funny he lacked in the field of jokes. All of the top jokes, go toP Diddy and Russel. I thought that he could be a little more funny. I'mnot saying he was terrible he was just OK. Anyways I suggest seeingthis movie soon because it is sure to be a classic. 6 out of 10.

This is a laugh out loud movie!

If you liked Russell Brands character in Forgetting Sarah Marshall,then you will enjoy this movie. Jonah Hill's character is also morphedand expanded from that earlier movie and also very enjoyable as thenerdy intern caught between hero worship and trying to do his job.Sean Combs (aka. Puff Daddy, P. Diddy...) is great as the amped up -stressed out boss of Hill's character and provides many laughs but in aslightly smaller role than Brand and Hill.It was nice to also see an actress playing Hill's girlfriend that Ididn't recognize - Elisabeth Moss. She has one of the funnier sceneslater in the film that helps give it the R rating. What else gives itthe hard R rating is some nudity, language and a lot of drug use.Overall, I would rate it an 8 or 9 with the only drawback is that myfriend that I saw it with - we both thought the film sagged a bit atthe end, but then brought it back with a closing funny scene thatreferenced something earlier in the film.Finally, the film "works" in the grand outrageous style of TheHangover, Borat, etc. I will see it again.

Get Him to the Greek

It is a bit annoying that I have seen this film before the predecessorForgetting Sarah Marshall, also being the first I have seen withRussell Brand, but it doesn't matter too much. Basically Aaron Green(Superbad's Jonah Hill) is a low-level talent scout at PinnacleRecords, and he gives the idea to boss Sergio Roma (Sean 'P. Diddy'Combs) to celebrate the ten year anniversary of a successful rockstar's live performance. Aldous Snow (Brand) was a great rock star, andhis live performance at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles was legendary,but after making the hated album 'African Child' he slipped down on thecelebrity list and got into drugs and alcohol again. It is Aaron's jobto get Aldous from his home in London to the Greek Theatre for the tenyear anniversary performance, but that will not be easy with Aldouswanting to party and shag a lot. Aaron is relying on Aldous to stick tothe scheduling to get his career back on track before the big event,but getting into the sex, drugs and parties himself, Aaron is introuble himself. It is after the point of helping to smuggle drugs andbelieving he is split with his girlfriend that Aaron almost gives up onAldous, but don't worry, he does get him to the Greek in the end, andeverything else settles. Also starring Rose Byrne as Jackie Q,Elisabeth Moss as Daphne Binks, Kali Hawk as Chantal, Colm Meaney asJonathan Snow,and cameos from Christina Aguilera, Pink, Lars Ulrich,Tom Felton and Kristen Bell as Sarah Marshall. I would have obviouslyloved to see Brand's debut in the predecessor before this follow up,but I am glad I saw the more critically liked film first. Brand is loudand rude quite a lot of the time, as he is in his British comedy work,and he shows a sensitive side too, and Hill makes a great characterthat suffers through all the rock star's lifestyle, they make a reallygood double act for this comedy that has some hilarious moments. Verygood!

Too Foul, not funny

Aaron Green (Hill) has 72-hrs to get a fading rock star Aldous Snow(Brand) to the comeback concert at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles.I thought this movie would be a complete disaster. In the beginning allI heard was obscene language, watched obscene sight gags, watchedbarfing as though the whole world thought that was funny, and listenedto sexually explicit songs and also listened to fouled mouthed peoplewho had no fear of using sexual body parts as part of their normalconversations. I wanted to shut this down, but I took a chance andwaited until all the ugliness was out and eventually most of it wasout, not entirely, mind you, but the worst parts were over. Then thestory started. Oh, there were still foul mouthed people spewing theirstuff, but it became no different than any other movie with badlanguage. Good God, am I getting used to this stuff?To continue a little bit with the story, Aaron has a very hard timegetting a difficult out-of-control drugged up rock star to do what hemust do to get back his rock-star career back. But, in order to get thejob done and appease this rock star, Aaron ends up doing things hedoesn't want to do, drink a lot, do drugs and have sex with otherwomen. Have to admit some of those scenes were only funny when he wasout of it via drink, and drugs and was not very graceful on his feet.There should have been more of those scenes because some slapstick wasdefinitely called for. Otherwise nothing else was funny. What held me was the performance of Russell Brand. He was in hiselement or zone and although he also spewed foul language as called forin the script, he sometimes mumbled but you got the gist of what he wassaying and that was sort of a reprieve for me not to hear the words.Jonah Hill was kind of miscast as he brought nothing to the tablebecause his character was too low-keyed and he was not given anymemorable lines. He was only funny when he was knocking things over inhis drunken druggy stupors. Surprisingly that worked. Cameos: Mario Lopez, Billy Bush, Pink, Christine Aguilera, MeredithVieria and others of lesser notoriety. Why these foul mouthed comedies appeal to the populace is beyond me,but they continue to try to outdo the previous same kind of foulmouthed sexual misadventure "comedic" movies. Comedy in America isdead. Now, all we have is bathroom humor. Sad. Soooo, not a completedisaster, but real close. Violence: No Sex Yes. Nudity: Yes. Drug usage: Yes. Sexual content:Yes, throughout Language: Yes, throughout

Apatow Does It Again

What a fantastic continuance of Apatow's comedic success. Jonah Hilland Russel Brand go together like fish and chips but the stand-outperformer turned out to be Sean "Diddy" Colmes. Although it wasprobably not a large stretch for him to play a tough music producer,his subtle comedy is what truly brought a lot of laughs to theaudience. Brand paid excellent tribute to the rock and roll icons thathave since lost their lifestyle edge and Jonah Hill was a fantasticfoil to his character. Jason Segel's writing talent was very strong inthe film as it was very exciting and funny to see the storyline unfold,no matter how simple the story seemed. This is amongst some of the bestcomedies I have seen in the last few years.

Simply Awesome

To be short and simple:- This movie is awesome, hands down.- I hated "Sarah Marshall", and I am a really tough critic on most movies.- I was simply blown away by how funny and good this movie is.

WARNING: this movie will be offensive to most

Get him to the Greek was comedy perfection. If you liked the last 2minutes of The Hangover... you may like this movie. However, it isgoing to be way more than most people will be able to take. This movieis 2 hours of what we had a glimpse of in the photos at the end of theHangover. It is twisted and sick and I loved every moment of it! If you are not easily offended, and can appreciate depravity, this maybe the movie for you. It contains extreme drug and alcohol use,gratuitous sex and nudity, lots of vomit, and a general lack of respectfor women, men, monogamy. Definitely NOT mainstream! Although it may sound like it's a one dimensional movie, it really hadsubtle complexities. I am keeping out details as not to spoilanything... At one point, Russell Brand's character, Aldous Snow, was alittle tiring. I felt that that was the intent, because the storyabsorbed it, recovered and I forgot all about it. At another pointduring the movie, it got insanely funny, milk coming out of your nosefunny, and then turned again to something a little different. Thistime, it got bizarre. I think some people left the theater at thispoint. It wasn't funny, but I didn't feel like it was trying to be. Itseemed as if the intention was to convey the uncomfortableness of thesituation. If so, it was done wonderfully. In the end, I really liked the characters Aldous and Aaron. I caredwhat happened to them and wanted things to work out for both of them.In spite of the extreme excesses portrayed in Get Him to the Greek, themovie got sweet at the end. it was a good ending to a completely insanemovie. If you like stupid comedies with a little toilet humor and some sex youshould like it. Take the movie for what it is... a raunchy, hilarious,good time. Don't take it seriously and no matter what absolutely NOCHILDREN should watch this movie.It's going on the shelf with my other favorites Dodgeball, Joe Dirt andOld School.

Basically just a series of funny sketches that really never takes off.

Within the first ten minutes of "Get Him To The Greek", you already know you're thrust into a Judd Apatow production. "Get Him To the Greek" is a spin-off, if that's what you want to call it, from 2008's comedy flick "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", another Judd Apatow produced movie. This time around Nicholas Stoller, Sarah Marshall's director, expands Russell Brand's scene stealing bumbling rockstar Aldous Snow into a full length movie of his own.What lacks in "Greek" that "Sarah Marshall" had was the smarts and freshness of the familar scenes we've already seen a million times before. For example, the break-up scene. We've seen the same exact scenario done countless times before, but what we didn't see was the unexpected quirk the scene quickly takes us done. And nobody forgets the naked break-up scene. The same can't be said for "Get Him to the Greek".Jonah Hill, who had a minor role in "Sarah Marshall" as the obsessive waiter, returns, but this time with a whole new character. He plays Aaron Green, who is ordered by P. Diddy's Sergio- the funniest part of the movie- to get the alcoholic and self-destructive Aldous Snow to a rock gig. Jonah Hill who is always good doesn't fail to disappoint and doesn't slack for cheap laughs, even when he is high on Jeffery or covered in his own vomit. Russell Brand is decent as well, but nothing to write home about. Aziz Ansari is literally in the movie for like three seconds and we really wanted to see more from him.Although "Get Him to the Greek" hits speed bumps along the way and half the scenes featured in the trailers and TV spots are nowhere to be found, it is still worth a view due to the comic timing of P. Diddy and Infant Sorrow's hilarious and explicit rocking soundtrack.
