An unappealing, shabby atmosphere, a poor cast of fairly untalented actors, and artificial humor. Any comparison of this "fun" to The Hangover is also offensive. Because here again, someone has made an attempt at a pathetic ripoff. I appreciate the effort, but you don't go to the movies for effort. A waste of time, very boring.

Get Him to the Greek is composed of stoned leftovers of nice humor from the much better and more well-thought-out Forgetting Sarah Marshall. But how can you not like a comedy with Jonah Hill and Russell Brand?

I have one small problem with "Apatowkas," a peculiar branch of the comedy subgenre. Either they really entertain me, or they completely miss the mark for me. This means their humor, outlook on life, and feeling. Get him to the Greek is the latter for me. I’m not saying I didn't laugh. I wasn't even bored. Yet I just found the whole thing cruelly pointless, when every five minutes you realize that the film is pausing in place and the plot isn't really going anywhere. Don't use Hill, maybe Brand... Stoeller took a step back.

I like Russell Brand, and he fits well in essentially any role, although I prefer him in the quieter, less aggressive ones. But that doesn't mean I didn't like him here. I had a great time, and even though the plot is quite simple and banal, there are plenty of interesting and entertaining things happening around it. It's a bit clichéd at times, but for me, it's still an entertaining movie.
