Get Him to the Greek

This was a very funny movie. The story is from the same universe as Forgetting Sarah Marshall (FSM), which was an amazingly funny and good movie, so it is no wonder that they would weave another movie from such a rich tapestry of characters. The main character in this film, was a music fan in FSM, who gives a sample CD of his own music to the other main character, the douchebag musician, Aldous Snow/Russel Brand.

Get him to the Greek is many years later in the story with Jonah Hill's character having moved on from his Hawaiian gig of maitre de to nascent music industry guy working at Puff Daddy's record label.

Every scene in this movie has some funny stuff going on, furry walls, mind fucking, etc. The only part I did not enjoy that much were Aldous Snow's performances of his songs. Certainly there was humor in the lyrics and Russel Brand is great at physical humor, but the guy is just plain witty and funny when he talks. They should've just let that guy talk instead of sing, maybe a meltdown on stage where he talks to the audience, I don't know. That would've been a better idea for a career ender than some weird album that messes him up, maybe stage fright? Either way, it is a small criticism, because the movie truly was great and very funny, and will see it again someday. And it made me want to see FSM again too.
