Get Him to the Greek

Aaron Green is a young, obese, hard worker for the music label Pinnacle Records. Life is just a tad bit abnormal with his boss, Sergio (Sean “P Diddy” Combs), pressuring him for new ideas, and his girlfriend, Daphne Binks (Elizabeth Moss), working odd hospital hours. Aaron Green has an excellent idea, to have a ten year anniversary concert for his favorite musician the party-do-go-er Aldous Snow (Russell Brand).

Aldous Snow with a once great Rock career is dashed down by a one horrific racist album restarting the apartied for South Africa, as well being the third worst thing to hit Africa just trailing war and famine, even beating out disease and poverty. The album is called “African Child”. The album is so down trending for not only his career but as well his wife Jackie (Rose Byrne). When their divorce happens life is only worse for Aldous and better for Jackie. What was the only reason not separating them sooner? Jackie having a son, and Aldous being a great father.

Anyway, Aaron is assigned by Sergio to get Aldous Snow from London to the Greek theatre in 72 hours, as well as making a few detours along the way. Some of their detours include the Today Show, Las Vegas, Aaron’s apartment, and plenty of parties. Along the way to the Greek, Aaron soon finds a rock stars life is one of the most insecure of any. Trying to be in Aaron’s position is even worse because Aldous puts Aaron through the worse making him drink, take drugs, and have intercourse just to make Mr. Snow move closer to the Greek, which only complicates his situation with Daphne. How will Aaron contain this rock star from ruining his life, his career, and his relationship? This outrageous comedy’s characters are based off the characters created from Jason Segal’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Get Him to the Greek is a bit crude and talks about the insecurity and life of a rock star. “You let people use you and soon you will be all used up”-Nicolas Stroller. The film even had great songs such as “going up” and “the clap”. Get Him to the Greek touched precisely on the problems of rock stars. They are lonely people who are sad, expected to do everything right and are seen as a higher power than average people. Which actor was the winner in this film? Jonah Hill did a fine job in Get Him to the Greek, but has put on a bit too much weight for the role. Russell Brand did a very good job of being insecure, sex obsessed, having free-loading parents, as well as being an unbelievable drug and party addict. The winner is P-Diddy. Having taking acting classes, “mind fucking”, and playing a just as funny as Tom Crusie’s role in Tropic Thunder as a big wig he is the winner. Also he showed how exactly record producers deal with their rock stars “we are going to out party these partiers, until they don’t want to party” and “give him two of these he won’t feel anything he will be fine and he looks great” in response “you can’t just keep enabling him and giving him drugs.” P-Diddy won this week in a shockingly great performance.
