Russell Brand, Jonah Hill, Elisabeth Moss, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Rose Byrne, Aziz Ansari, Kristen Schaal, Tyler McKinney, Lars Ulrich, Mario Lopez, Pink, Billy Bush, Kurt Loder, Christina Aguilera, etc.
Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) gets things done. The ambitious 24-year-old has been given a career-making assignment. His mission: Fly to London and escort a rock god to L.A.'s world famous Greek Theatre for the first-stop on a huge comeback tour. His record mogul boss, Sergio Roma (Diddy aka Sean Combs), gives him one warning: "The artist is the worst person on Earth. Turn your back on him at your own peril." British rocker Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) is a brilliant musician, but due to a bad break up and nose-diving career, has fallen off the wagon and is now a drunken disaster. Weary of "yes men" and scared he's entered the "greatest hits" moment in his career, Snow's in the midst of a nihilistic downward spiral. When he learns his true love, model/pop star Jackie Q, is in Los Angeles, Aldous makes it his quest to win her back before kick-starting his world domination. As the countdown to the concert begins, one innocent young man must navigate a minefield of London drug smuggles, New York City brawls and Vegas lap dances to deliver his charge safe and, sort of, sound--all while trying to remain faithful to his med student girlfriend. He may have to coax, lie to, enable and party with Aldous, but Aaron will get him to the Greek. REVIEW “Get Him to the Greek†was funny in spots but it certainly didn’t make me want to role on the floor with laughter. That’s probably because I saw it while I was still sober and should’ve been slightly intoxicated to catch everything that I missed. “Get Him to the Greek†is basically about the crazy lifestyle that some rock stars live, and the things that people do to satisfy their egos while babysitting their actions. Jonah Hill plays his usual type cast character, Russell Brand’s hair always looked fabulous but it looked like he was playing himself, and so was Diddy for that matter. “Get Him to the Greek†was entertaining but you really don’t have to rush out to the theater to see it. If you wait to watch it on DVD or Blu ray you’ll probably enjoy it more if you’re looking for a laugh. ~Dana Da Designated Hata® aka Nobody’s Fan® Â
