Early Review: GET HIM TO THE GREEK

It wasn't exactly yesterday that Apatow Productions released a winning comedy, and Get Him to the Greek is surely worth the wait. The movie is everything you could possibly want out of a buddy comedy between an anxious young fan and an out of control rocker. If you haven't seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall, fear not because this is not a sequel, but an all new movie featuring Sarah Marshall's Aldous Snow.

You Don't Know Jack

If you're like me, when you started watching 30 Rock, you wondered where you had seen that blonde guy before. His voice is unmistakable, and his smile impeccable.

Then it hits you. Oh! He was in Talladega Knights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby! For me, he was the one that stole the show.

And if you are even more like me, you realize something else. Wait! He was in two episodes of the greatest television show ever to air, Arrested Development!

Jack McBrayer has the face of a warrior, the voice of a champion, and the timing of a mongoose. And pretty soon, Kenneth on 30 Rock had found his way into our hearts.

Then, without warning, he struck again, and found his way into Judd Apatow's group (always a good place to be). He had a big memorable laugh in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.

And before we knew it, he had almost stolen Forgetting Sarah Marshall, playing a nervous, newlywed Christian.

As of now, he is signed on to be in Cats and Dogs 2. But I think it's safe to say that soon Jack will be back, and better than ever.

Apatow, Stoller, Hill, & Brand re-team for "Get Him To The Greek"

For those who the loved character of Aldous Snow in 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall's ' from earlier this year, get ready to see him again. The entire team from 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' (minus Jason Segel) are teaming up again for what is surely to be a hit known as "Get Him To The Greek."

According to Writer/Director Nick Stoller:

During the table read on 'Sarah Marshall,' Jonah and Russell had such a great chemistry," said Stoller, who described "Greek" as a very dirty take on "Almost Famous." "Even though they are such different actors with different styles, I thought there could be a great buddy comedy there."

The film follows Russell Brand as Aldous Snow, who is a rocker in England, and Jonah Hill, a fresh out of college Insurance Adjuster, who has the responsibility of getting Aldous to his next gig at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. Here's the catch. The once clean Aldous, is back on drugs and booze, at a lower point than ever before.

It seems that it is indeed going to be another hit. Meanwhile, Nick Stoller is writing the upcoming Jim Carrey movie, "Yes Man." Due in theaters this holiday season.

Ps. While it is known that Russell Brand is still playing the character of Aldous, it is unknown if Hill is reprising the character of 'Matthew' from 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall'. Time will tell I suppose.
