Get him to the Greek

I was surprised by this show. It was actually funny. Here are a couple of reasons why. It had sentiment, morals (kind-of) and an off beat dialogue. Meaning, there was actually a point to the movie - I think. And if you didn't catch onto what that was, it was still funny.

The actors chosen, Jonah Hill (Superbad), Elizabeth Moss (MadMen), Russell Brand (comedian) had chemistry and although parts of this movie were utterly ridiculous, you kind of had to say "this is ridiculous" and have a good time with it. Remember back in college when you didn't think twice about everything you did and you had a few fun wild days? Well, this movie reminds you that you can, but also that it's okay if you don't. Okay maybe that's vague but you'll know what I mean when you watch.

So Aaron Green needs to escort British rocker Aldous Snow to the Greek theatre for a anniversary-concert. This is Aaron's big break in the music business. He wants to impress his boss (P-Diddy. Not a good actor by the way.) All Aldous wants to do is have a good time partying. Aaron has also run into some problems with his girlfriend as does Aldous with his ex-wife. Their two lives clash and oddly connect to bring an hour and 1/2 of interesting and strange moments as well as ridiculous lyrics.

If you're into Russell Brand or any of the actors, you'll like this movie. I liked seeing cameos of current musicians and it was a fun ride if you like that sort of thing. And really "The Jeffrey" was hilarious.

Worth the money: $$$
