An ambitious executive at a record company, Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) gets what looks like an easy assignment: He must escort British rock legend Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) to L.A.'s Greek Theatre for the first stop on a lucrative comeback-concert tour. Snow, however, has different plans. Learning his true love is in California, the rocker vows to win her back before starting the tour, forcing Aaron to pull out all the stops to get Snow on stage in time.

Critics Consensus

Thanks to a suitably raunchy script and a pair of winning performances from Jonah Hill and Russell Brand, Get Him to the Greek is one of the year's funniest comedies.

The Spectator

I like to think I have a sense of humour, but this is horribly tiresome and probably only fit for teenage boys, who do seem to get a buzz from this sort of thing.

Either way, it--and the movie--is annoying.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Get Him to the Greek, follows the Apatow brand model by merging wild and crazy events and characters with a story peppered with realistic heart.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

Get Him to the Greek will make you laugh, but by no means does it live up to the Apatow standard.

Rated: 2.5/4

Irresistible gall. The vulgarity makes waves and the public drowns in laughter. [Full review in Spanish]

I watched this on DVD recently, a decade or so after it's release. I'd been putting off watching it, thinking it was going to be Greek (i know, it sounds stupid now). Anyhow, I'd got it totally wrong. This film is amazingly funny on many different levels, and I had missed out on some excellent entertainment. Russle Brand and Jonah Hill compliment each other perfectly, making every scene a delight to watch. The supporting cast do a superb job alongside them presenting an array of interesting characters to enjoy. Although simple, the story benefits from a wild roadtrip like journey which is constantly moving through a wealth of interesting locations. The music sounds great, but at the same time the naughty lyrics can't fail to amuse. I love watching Russel's acting. He has a unique style where he can elequently lead you down the most absurd trail of thought, switching back to relative normality in an instant leaving the viewer feeling completely abandoned. It's bordering on comic genius in my opinion. The writing is excellent, and gives Russel plenty of opportunities to perform at his best. Thoroughly recommended. If you've not seen it you really should. Also, the DVD came with an extras disc which has the music videos and songs from the film performed in full. It looks like Russel and the band had a great time making these.

Absolutely fantastic watch. Russell Brand has great comedic value to his game with Jonah Hill complimenting their double act with his hilarious gaffes. Great storyline that I feel only Russell could play the Rockstar. The only sad thing is no quick sequel to this great movie as the songs are so good, it makes you yearn for more.
