Get Him to the Greek (2010)

All Critics (189) | Top Critics (40) | Fresh (139) | Rotten (52) | DVD (12)

This is Brand's movie all the way: he's the one snorting the drugs, throwing the tantrums and getting the lion's share of the laughs.

Brand can seem simultaneously randy and strung-out and is often very funny. Hill is surprisingly touching, which is quite a feat given the number of orifices he is required to display.

The movie's story is conventional in shape, but it has passages of crazy exhilaration and brilliant invention.

Making Aldous regret his wicked ways is a buzz-kill of major proportions.

Cheerfully profane in the manner of a dormitory bull session.

This is personality comedy, and Brand and Hill have it to spare.

While it's not the classic comedy that you haven't lived until you see it, 'Greek' is more than good enough for a few, goofy laughs.

Lyles' Movie Files

What we end up with here is a tonally confused film with jokes that mostly miss and some good performances from the leads.

The jury's still out on Brand as a leading man, at least on this evidence, but chances are you won't find a vehicle better suited to his comic sensibilities than this one.

Diddy's scene-stealing work proves that he should really take a break from trying to prove his Serious Acting Chops and do more comedy.

... Likely to be one of the year's best comedies.

To put it in rock 'n' roll terms, you'd go to the gig but you wouldn't buy the t-shirt.

The Standard

For the music lovers: If Superbad, Knocked Up and Forgetting Sarah Marshall are Radiohead's The Bends, OK Computer and Kid A, Get Him To The Greek is their Amnesiac.

Quite sadly Get Him to the Greek just doesn't work in the way it was meant to. Despite an ambitious metaphor, the film is far too mean-spirited to tickle our funny-bone.

Nesavrena, ali sasvim probavljiva holivudska zabava za ove vruće ljetne dane

This Forgetting Sarah Marshall spin-off is lively and silly enough to keep us giggling. But its darker moments make the tone rather uneven.

Prepare to have a bawdy, taboobusting good time. Just don't expect it to resonate anywhere except your funnybone.

I'm having a hard time remembering what the really funny bits in Get Him to the Greek were, exactly. I mean, I know I laughed. I just don't really remember why.

Get Him To The Greek promises a fun time but rarely delivers the goods.

Daily Express

'Greek' works best during the cleverly scored mayhem montage scenes (a highlight involves absinthe and a French version of Happy Together).
