Plot Summary of the Recently Released Comedy, Get Him to the Greek

Most movies these days are filmed using a mix of indoor and outdoor sets. When filming is taking place outside, generally the producers, directors and other people involved in making the movie choose to use mainly natural light of the sun while reflecting it where they want it to go. However, when inside there must be different forms of lighting used, such as fluorescent lighting and sometimes the light schemes are complicated and include people who have the sole job of doing interior lighting design. One of the movies recently released to the world is a film called, Get Him to the Greek, starring an English comedian Russell Brand and American Jonah Hill.

The movie is a comedy film and intended as something of a spinoff of the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which was released a few years ago. It is not exactly a sequel to, Forgetting Sarah Marshall because although Russell Brand plays the same character, hard partying rock star, Aldous Snow of the band Infant Sorrow, the other actor starring in this film, Jonah Hill, does not retain his role from, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. While this is slightly confusing and does not actually make a whole lot of sense, it is best for the viewer to just forget this minor detail and enjoy the comedy of the movie rather than sit and poke holes in the plot, which is of course, easier for some people than it is for others.

The plot revolves around a young intern at a record label, Jonah Hill, lying a little bit in his resume to get his dream job and then landing a big assignment right away. His difficult assignment is to take rocker, Aldous Snow, who has recently rediscovered partying and drinking after a failed single release and subsequent break up with his girlfriend, from London and get him to the Greek theater in Los Angeles. While at face value, many people would assume this to be a simple movie with gross out humor and typical jokes that people would expect for summer, teenage oriented films, and many reviews have in fact, suggested that it is more of a satire on the life of many rock stars. In fact, the film is said to have an excellent message deep down which suggests that the rock star life is not nearly what many of the people in it claim it to be and can often lead to bad things.

Actually, Get Him to the Greek is one of the best reviewed comedies of the year and many people are saying it is one of the funniest movies of the 2010 movie season so far. The film has in fact, been critically acclaimed by such critics from such famous papers as the New Yorker and such famed movie critics as Richard Roeper.

While humor from producer of, Get Him to the Greek, Judd Apatow, who also produced movies like, The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up, is not for everyone, it is generally well liked and well reviewed. Anybody who is even sort of a fan of Russell Brand or previous Apatow films should probably spend the time and money to go check out, Get Him to the Greek.
