Mick LaSalle

So comically fertile and yet so grounded in the reality of its characters that it's really a kind of marvel. Read full review

David Denby

The movie’s story is conventional in shape, but it has passages of crazy exhilaration and brilliant invention. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

A clever rock-world satire, with some lively take-offs on the TMZ-gossip magazine circus, but it's also too long, and by the time of the inevitable Las Vegas sequence, it starts to grow repetitive. Read full review

J.R. Jones

As in "My Favorite Year," the laughs all come from seeing a nervous innocent pulled into the star's debauchery, the heart from our growing realization that debauchery is just emptiness with the volume cranked. Read full review

Ty Burr

If the movie’s all too predictable in its broad outlines, it’s scurrilously funny in the details, and it pushes its two leads and one of its supporting actors in entertainingly fresh directions. Read full review

Joshua Rothkopf

When the movie remembers to be the drug-spiked, hard-R comedy you hope for, it’s more than just a fun romp (and, incidentally, superior to "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," the rom-com from which its Britpop libertine spins off). Read full review

Marc Mohan

This final act goes on far too long and devolves into such a miasma of pap that it's clear Stoller had no idea how to wrap things up. Read full review

Get Him to the Greek lacks the heart of Forgetting Sarah Marshall but retains the witty style of gross-out comedy. Jonah Hill is disappointing here as he is a very talented comedian and Russell Brand has become a yoga-loving L.A. bum. He's always been such an idol to me.

This is probably the best comedy of the summer, even better than forgetting Sarah Marshall, Russel Brand is hilarious.

Fans of Forgetting Sarah Marshal need to go into this movie realising that it is not the same Type of movie. The timeline doesn't quite tie together and the humor is far less clever. However, It's a great time. I was laughing every 5 minutes save the occasional emotional tie-ins.

The movie is a very hard-R, that occasionally goes over the top, but was easily worth the price of admission. I highly recommend it. Not especially clever, but extremely funny.

I'm simple minded so I thought I was going to just a "cheap laughs" show. Turns out that the laughs are there, and the movies got bits that I felt existential, as well as expose-ish about; good stuff. I think the reality within the movie is too generous though, because the main I'm simple minded so I thought I was going to just a "cheap laughs" show.

The movie was alright. If I had to pick the best actor, it would be P Diddy. Jonah Hill was quite good as well and so was Russell Brand. Very good humour as well.

The trailers of this movie were so misleading as they indicated that this movie may actually be funny. Russell Brand and Jonah Hill seemed like a dynamite pair to put in a comedy film, but they are accompanied by a terrible story and a mediocre script, filled with a few funny parts.
