Get Him to the Greek 2010

Its' funny, Its not funny, It's funny.
While being raped by a dildo.
Russell Brand looks like a british rockstar, talks like british rockstar but acts like a bit of a pansy. He doesn't actually have that fuck it all charisma - he is a bit insecure [what else do you expect from a comedian]As for Jonah Hill, he is fat & pathetic looking enough to carry off the role with all our sympathy and a bit of grossed outness.

The story? Aldous Snow is one of the last remaining rockstars, who was wiped out with his last Album- African Child [After drought and war, its the third worst thing that happened to Africa] He has spiraled into drugs, drink and mayhem. All shown with notable pop culture icons including Pink, Christina Aguilera etc etc. P Diddy is Sergio, a record label head who sends Aaron (Jonah) to get Snow for a 10 year anniversary concert at the Greek Theatre. Its a nice premise, but does it deliver? Im confused. There are enough pop culture references to please the hip crowd, a few laugh out loud moments but all in all, little soul. There are enough musicians crammed in to make it watch worthy but every 5 mins the story is interrupted so that the Aaron character can puke graphically. Love is also explored on the side and mucho realistically, so that's a plus.
