I'm a sucker for a film with heart, especially when it is a film that probably shouldn't have that much heart. Get Him to the Greek is a film that is advertised with quotes such as "This years The Hangover" and it's trailer makes it out to be a party film when in reality it's not. It's a film about a rock star and his struggle to cope with that fame. If you've read Russell Brand's book My Booky Wook you'll definitely see some similarites between Aldous Snow and Brand himself, it's almost art imitating life.
But where the film really shines is not the parties and the hijinx that the parties bring, which are hilarious, it's actually Snow's self discovery and redemption that I love about the film. Brand actually has the ability to make you both love him and hate him whilst still having you feel sorry for him.
