Get Him to the Greek

I think Jonah Hill is becoming that guy that you either love or hate in the movies, and I was waning towards hate, but I saw "Get Him to the Greek" in spite of his presence, and as a metaphor for drug addiction (the highs and the eventually lows, and the levelling out), the film somewhat works as Russell Brand reprises his role of Aldous Snow from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", while Jonah Hill is Aaron Green, who works for record exec Sergio (P. Diddy), and is tasked with bringing Aldous back from Europe for a 10 year anniversary performance at the Greek in LA over the course of a few days.  P. Diddy's Sergio struggled in the beginning, but he got funnier as the film wore on.  Rose Byrne's Jackie Q (Aldous' lover) was, however, bringing the heat and humor and made the most of her scenes.

The films structure plays fast and loose with the changes in scenery when the main players wear out their welcome from place to place, and it is hilarious in spots, somewhat dramatic, or playfully charming as Aldous can be with a devil-may-care attitude.  So, overall, it's very uneven, and is a bit of a chore to sit through to the end.

I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+.
