Although Get Him to the Greek has individual scenes that are mildly amusing, occasionally even quite funny, it sadly lacks in too many areas to really satisfy as a comedy. The very first problem begins with the fact that Jonah Hill is playing the protagonist and while it is true that he did Moneyball, which he was very good in, he simply isn't funny and this movie is further proof. The best gags in this are the ones that aren't directly related to him and considering how utterly irritating his co-star Russel Brand is that is quite shocking. Like with almost every comedy of this kind it suffers from poorly realized characters and a script that prefers throwing in cheap…

You know you're in trouble when Puff Diddly Doodums is the best thing in your film.
A resounding 'Meh' with an occasional snigger.

Is Jonah Hill really a letterboxer? I have saw his name on here but is it really him? Just thought I'd ask before butchering this lame and predictable "comedy".
A cliche ridden and gross out comedy that has more bum notes than a Justin Bieber concert,this is a lame and often farcical folly. Russell Brand isn't actually acting in this,this is really what he is like. He never did anything he hasn't done all over London for the last ten years and he didn't even have to change his accent. It was like watching a reality tv show of Brand's life. Hill is a buffoon. That is very clear in everything he has done as an actor with the exception… -
God I hate Peter Hitchens. He's a tit. I just watched a funny youtube clip of Russell Brand irritating him on Newsnight and it made me feel good, for a short while. It's a discussion on how best to deal with drug addiction. You should watch it.
And this film? It's absolutely fine. Pretty funny, actually. Jonah Hill is swiftly becoming a man-whose-films-I-quite-like-watching-but-wouldn't-defend-too-much. A likeable, chubby everyman with a never-ending chin. And Russell Brand? Well, he's obviously in my good books for the above. The scene with the 'Jeffrey' is darn amusing. You should watch that, too. -
This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Not the funniest movie ever, but I'm gonna give it an alright score because it was the first movie that made me understand character development (I was 13 at the time).
The songs are also great, they make fun of mainstream music in a great way, and I really wish that Infant Sorrow was real, because it would be one of my favorite bands.

Pretty funny if you enjoy celebrity cameos, rape jokes and the thought of Jonah Hill throwing-up repeatedly. This film earns half a star for P-Diddy and that probably says it all.

Russell Brand reprises his role as Aldous Snow from 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' and Jonah Hill ... plays a completely different character. Russell Brand can irritate quickly, but Jonah Hill holds his own. You'll get your fair share of laughs out of this movie. The big surprise in this movie is how funny Diddy is.
