GET HIM To The GREEK 3.0 ***

Aaron Greenberg (Jonah Hill) gets things done. The ambitious 23-year-old has exaggerated his way into a dream job just in time for a career-making assignment. His mission: Fly to London and escort a rock god Aldous Snow ( Russell Brand) to L.A.s Greek Theatre for the first-stop on a $100-million tour. His warning: Turn your back on him at your own peril. British rocker Snow is both a brilliant musician and walking sex machine. Weary of yes men and piles of money, Snow is searching for the meaning of life. But that doesn’t mean he can’t have a almost daily orgies while he finds it.
As the countdown to the concert begins, Greenberg, as his agent and guy-Friday, must navigate a minefield of London drug smuggling , New York City brawls and Vegas lap dances to deliver his charge safe and, sort of, sound. He may have to coax, lie, cheat, steal, to keep Snow moving along and on schedule, and at all times the question is: “Will Aaron l “get him to the Greek” on time or at all.

The movie opens with the filming of Snow's latest music video and then showing his downward spiral that leads to present day which is hilarious a hilarious, perfect beginning for this innovative comedic spin-off. If you saw 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' then this is exactly what you would expect a movie about Aldous Snow to be like. Surprisingly, this movie even has heart although it's buried under very lewd, vulgar and crude wit, but it's in there.

Russell Brand just opens his mouth and his words are comedic gold. Jonah Hill takes a step out of his comfort zone, and plays a "lack of confidence good guy". (Usually he's the overconfident prick). Sean “P.Diddy”Combs, as Aaron’ boss, delivers a surprisingly strong comedic performance. He's actually hilarious! His repartee with everyone he comes into contact with is spot-on. The entire cast has hilarious one-liners and the two main characters really make this movie a joy to watch.
WARNING: Rated “R”, and this is a strong “R” for strong sexual content and drug use throughout, and pervasive lewd and vulgar language and situations.
