Get Him to the Greek



Get Him to The Greek, in my opinon solidifies Jonah Hill's entrance into the A-list of male comedic actors. His performance as, Aaron Green, was ridiculously funny and certainly memorable. I found myself laughing loud enough at his antics in the movie to draw some attention from a few rows in front of me.

Except for a spoof music video that some moviegoers might take offense to, the first twenty minutes of the movie are a great build up and re-introduce the audience with the multi-faceted, fillandering character that is, Aldous Snow, played by Russell Brand. Brand's arrogant, degenerate character is so compelling that you almost believe he exists outside of the movie. Combine this charcter with, Jonah Hill's, a surprisingly outstanding performance from Diddy, and a wildly entertaining plot that tears across London, NYC, Las Vegas, and LA and you've got what I believe is the funniest comedy of the summer so far (Although the trailer for the Other Guys makes me think that'll wind up taking the cake).

Although some of the more memorable lines of the movie are revealed during the trailers, there are still several gems that should crack up any audience. The writers deserve a lot of credit for how funny this film was, creative contemporary pop culture humor is what Hill thrives at. The scene at the Today Show was without a doubt one of the funniest, planned out scenes in the film.

Supporting performances from Elisabeth Moss, Rose Byrne, and Aziz Ansiri also add some top notch humor to an already well stocked laugher movie.

  2. Other guys will be a classic. I want to see that other Jonah Hill flick that barely got released anywhere. He hates his step father, blah blah. Looks funny
