Get Him to the Greek


Jason Segel created one of the most memorable characters of the past decade when he wrote Aldous Snow into the script of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". People loved the character so much, a spin-off movie was created with Aldous as the main character. By now you've seen commercials for "Get Him To The Greek", which show off the movies more ridiculous, funny moments. But at the heart of this movie is, well, a heart. Under all the ridiculous humor and excess that is portrayed in this movie is really a story that is centered on its characters and their issues with themselves and others. And who knew Russel Brand could be serious long enough to get some real acting done! Get him to the greek definitely provides plenty of laughs, but don't write it off as just another stupid fun movie, which it is. But don't forget to pay attention, because you'll probably find yourself actually caring about these characters. Plus the soundtrack by "Infant Sorrow", Aldous' band in the film, is pretty kick ass.
