Get Him To The Greek (2010) 8/10

Starring : Jonah Hill, Russell Brand, Elisabeth Moss
Director : Nicholas Stoller
Running Time : 114 mins

Aaron Green (Hill) works in a low paying position at a record company, so when he is given a life changing opportunity to further his career he jumps at the chance. All he has to do is collect rock star Aldous Snow (Brand) from London and deliver him to the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, and all in three days... what could be simpler?

This sort-of sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall revisits the small character of Aldous Snow and practically puts him front and centre. Brand was made to play this role, and clearly relishes in the chance to play him again. Jonah Hill is perfect as the put upon boyfriend to Elisabeth Moss’s overbearing girlfriend, and when Hill and Brand are on screen together the tension Hill’s character is faced with can be cut with a knife.
