English rock star Aldous Snow relapses into drugs and booze after a break up and a disastrous record. In L.A., Aaron Green works for a record company stuck in recession. Aaron's boss gives him a career making task - to bring Aldous from London to L.A. for a concert in 72 hours. That day, Aaron's girlfriend Daphne tells him she wants to finish her medical residency in Seattle. Aaron's sure this ends their relationship. In London, things aren't much better: Aldous delays their departure several times, plies Aaron with vices, and alternates between bad behavior and trenchant observations. Can Aaron moderate Aldous's substance abuse and get him to the Greek? What about Daphne?
Leave your thoughts about Get Him to the Greek.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleSo comically fertile and yet so grounded in the reality of its characters that it's really a kind of marvel. |
| UGOJordan HoffmanThe film swings between performance gags (and no one can do this better than Russell Brand), well-scripted zings, random absurdity (Paul Krugman reaction shot FTW!) and some really sharp editing. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfAn impulsive, slapstick creation, leaning on the snappy one-liner skills of the two leads, while Stoller dutifully sets the dominoes. It's broad, playfully bizarre moviegoing experience. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereMemo to self: I never want to see Jonah Hill's bare behind again. Nevertheless, this year's Judd Apatow-produced, R-rated, raunchy breakout hit is going to be "Get Him to the Greek." |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasA clever spin-off that allows the two actors who helped make Sarah Marshall so hilarious to flourish on their own ... certainly stands a good chance at being one of the funniest comedies this summer. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenB-list Apatow with moments of laugh-out-loud hilarity. |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithHill is great, but he's just like the last five main characters in these sort of films. Thankfully, Brand's excellent and wildly original performance makes up for this for the most part, so it's not much of a problem. |
| V MusicRebecca LakeWhile there are plenty of laughs to be had in this supremely entertaining -- and surprisingly affecting -- comedy, it is Russell Brand's pitch-perfect performance that makes Get Him to the Greek such a memorable, and joyfully insane ride. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressOne of the better cinematic portraits of a rock star in recent years but, unquestionably, the funniest film released so far in 2010. |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Corey HallRussell Brand channels Peter O'Toole in the year's best (so far) alkie celeb yarn |
