Download Free Wallpaper : Get Him to the Greek reunites Jonah Hill and Russell Brand with Forgetting Sarah Marshall director Nicholas Stoller in the story of a record company intern with two days to drag an uncooperative rock legend to Hollywood for a comeback concert. Free Online Movie The comedy is the latest film from producer Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Funny People). Movie Download Free The premise was as worn and tired as a veteran Vegas show girl, only without the vague attempt at glamour. In its stead, stuffed into a pair of sagging D-cups, is Jonah Hill: the very antithesis of a movie star, as far as cosmetics go, and one of the lesser ensemble members in previous Judd Apatow efforts such as The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Hill showed what he could do with a little more thespian space in Superbad, but putting him in the lead of an Apatow bro-mantic comedy was a risk. He is not a proven draw. Nor, for that matter, is Russell Brand, the lanky Brit comedian with more material in his flesh-baring wardrobe than in his standup act. Get Him to the Greek features these two box-office variables in a familiar equation, and while the film offers no surprises of any kind, it does cobble together some decent entertainment value through — surprise, surprise — performance and character. Hill is our human touchstone in the form of Aaron Green, a junior executive working for a record company in Los Angeles. Aaron doesn’t seem to have any of the inherent ego that generally comes with an “A&R (artist and repertoire) guy.” Sweet, mild-mannered and a genuine fan of has-been rock star Aldous Snow (Brand), Aaron suggests a Snow anniversary concert as a way of thickening the record company’s revenue stream. Forgetting Sarah Marshall director Nicholas Stoller knows when to polish the wheel of comedy or simply change the tire. Several sequences play out in unpredictably fashion, using jump cuts and accelerated screen time. Such tactics might not be noticeable to every audience but it makes a visceral impact on the experience, keeping the filmmaking fresh. A brilliant bit of casting would belong to that of Elizabeth Moss (Mad Men) who plays Hill’s girlfriend with a pleasant poise for comedy — Sterling Cooper taught her well. Not to beat a dead horse, but the humor of Diddy will surprise those who haven’t seen Making the Band or I Want to Work for Diddy, and surprise those who have. There’s a truthfulness in Diddy’s portrayal of the record executive; something tells me the ridiculous things and tricks he uses do not deviate from his past experiences. Boy I’d love to know which jokes Diddy actually thought of. My gut tells me many. The film’s only drawback comes from its melodrama — it’s hard to feel sorry for Aldous Snow, although his life is far from perfect. Hill’s tribulations with his girlfriend are pedestrian, but there are clever jokes successfully employed. Also, the stakes in the film’s narrative didn’t feel high enough, but that’s forgivable given the film’s nature. In spite of this, the Apatow-produced comedy will more than satisfy audiences craving for an R-rated comedic odyssey.
