I saw "Get Him to the Greek" yesterday and have to say that the film was fun but flimsy. The spin-off of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" has none of the heart of Sarah Marshall and seems more like a riff on Superbad's hijinks. The characters are not very strong, their relationships are barely there, and when the film tries to get into any sort of moral or meaningful moments near the end, the film slows down.

That being said, the ride up to that point is funny enough to make the film worthwhile. Most of the laughs come from one liners, since the film doesn't mine too much out of its premise. Most of it is just drunken/drug fueled mayhem. Puffy Combs is probably the funniest character although Rose Byrne is the person you come away talking about. She looks amazing in the film and shows a comedic side that I don't ever remember seeing.

I think the film would have been better had Jonah Hill's character had to rein in Russell Brand's Alduos Snow and then had the tables turned and Snow was the one trying to calm Hill down. Then they could have gotten a better message in there (or they should have just foregone the message and gone straight hijinks up until the end.)

In the end, I give it a low expectations recommendation. Don't go in expecting the funniest movie ever. In fact, it's probably like the drunken escapades in the film - just a fun time that you probably won't remember much of the next day.

Here's the trailer (although I'd say about half of the lines/moments in the trailer aren't in the actual movie.
