Review of Get Him to the Greek. This year's The Hangover, only better.

Get Him to the Greek is a spiritual sequel to the surprisingly funny and heartfelt comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall, with just about all of the original cast and crew in tow. The biggest draw to the film was obviously the two leads, Jonah Hill and Russel Brand. And while Brand plays the same character as he did in the first film, Hill has been swapped to a lowly music producer but still a huge fan of Infant Sorrow, as in the first film. Brand was born to play his role in the film, completely nailing the caricature of a strung out, down on his luck rock star. He makes a great switch from the supporting role to the leading role, keeping the same humor everybody came to love without getting annoying or boring. But Brand wouldn't be able to get by without a little help from his friends. If it weren't for the stylish cinematography or the snappy dialogue, Get Him to the Greek would have been a total flop. I won't spoil too much of the fun for you but rest assured, Get Him to the Greek will be one of the most fun films to be released in the year 2010. I give it four subtle Beatles homages out of five. 4/5
