Get Him To The Greek
Hmmm no forgetting Sarah Marshall... - S8rah
Forgetting Sarah Marshall was probably one of the funniest films to come out that summer so I had high hopes for get him to the greek. Even though there were funny moments and laugh out loud scenes at times it doesn't live up to being a follow on from forgetting Sarah Marshall. Brand is just being himself as far as I can see and Puff Daddy although being very good at what he is there to do can be a bit grating at times... definitely one for the lads as most of the gags are sick jokes, drunk jokes, dodgey sex jokes etc... wouldn't rate it as the film of the year anyway... by no way is it anywhere near the hangover for the quality of the laughs or the acting abilities.

Not Very Funny At All - johnthebean
To me a comedy is supposed to be funny. By those standards, I don't see how Greek is a comedy. There are some bits that provoked the odd chortle or two (usually involving Jonah Hill puking or Jonah... MORE
