Get Him To The Greek
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 Hill's anus), but in general this film is not as funny as it seems to think. It also suffers from an identity crisis - some of the time it's a gross-out comedy, but most of the time it seems to be trying to make some heartfelt point about loneliness or something. It succeeds at neither.

Average Apatow offering - niallhcd
I saw this last weekend and laughed - a lot. Not as good as the Hangover yet laugh out loud in places. Jonah Hill is an endearing A&R man who tries his best to act responsible and get Russell Brand's... MORE
