GET HIM TO THE GREEK




Comedy

PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Russell Brand: rock star Aldous Snow
Rose Byrne: his girlfriend Jackie Q
Jonah Hill: Aaron Green, employee of a record company
Elisabeth Moss: Aaron’s live-in girlfriend medical intern Daphne Binks
Sean “Diddy” Combs: Sergio Roma, executive with Pinnacle Records
and others no doubt

REVIEW
Raunchy comedy is not for everyone: characterised by its sex-oriented theme and reliance upon the frequent use of the f-word instead of intelligent dialogue it is replete with lots of partying, drinking and doing drugs.

The “humour” includes explicit reference to certain body parts, projectile vomiting, lots of carnage and mayhem, various sex acts, speeding cars and fast women. In a word, anything that might provoke some mirth from the target audience.

I could not wait to walk out.

CLASSIFICATION
for strong sexual content and drug use throughout, and pervasive language.

FOR NITPICKERS ONLY
While laying in bed Daphne’s ID card changes position between shots despite the fact she remains on her back with her arms at her side. It does the same thing when she and Aaron are having a coffee in the hospital’s cafeteria.
