Review of Get the Gringo (2012) by Keatonj. — 07 Jun 2010
When I first heard that a spin-off was being made of one of my favorite comedies of all times, I was kind of worried, but I am relieved to report that Get Him to the Greek does justice to Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Greek takes the eccentric rock star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) from Forgetting Sarah Marshall and makes him a much bigger character. Brand was fantastic in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and is even better in this one.
The plot involves Aaron Green (Jonah Hill), who works for a record company and must escort Snow to a comeback concert to get the revenue flowing again. As you can imagine, these two get into quite some interesting situations.
The two characters work great on the screen together, creating a constant flow of laughs from start to finish; however, there is also another character that caught my eye. His name is P. Diddy. He may not be a top-notch actor, but he delivers some of the funniest lines of the movie.
