Watch Get Him To The Greek Trailer Online Free
Anyone who saw "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" could not forget the hilarious, drugged-out British rock star Aldous Snow. He was one of the best characters in that excellent 2008 movie. Played to the hilt by Russell Brand, that short performance was one of the most memorable of that year.
The new movie Get Him To The Greek has been written around Aldous. And this time his is even more pompus and egotistical than last time.
Aldous has pretty much killed any remaining career he might have had by releasing the most politically incorrect record "African Child". And to top it off he also released an accompanying video that is even worse than the single.

His record company wants to get his career back on track long enough to recoup some of the money they dumped into him. To accomplish this they promote a "10 year anniversary" concert in Los Angeles at the legendary Greek Theater. The record executives envision a triumphant return to California in one of the first places he made it big. The only obstacle is that Aldous is in London, and is not keen on the whole idea. He would rather stay where he is and get drunk, high and have lots of casual sex with groupies instead of traveling across the world.

As insurance that Aldous will show for the concert in a week, the record company sends a low-level nobody employee to London to personally escort the mercurial rock star to Los Angeles. The poor unfortunate is Aaron Green (played by Jonah Hill). He loves music and is enamored by rock musicans. He sees this as a dream assignment … until he meets Aldous and begins to understand how nearly hopeless this job will be.
From this point the movie turns into one of those road movies where two people with opposite lifestyles try to coexist while accomplishing a task. At nearly every turn Aaron must decide how far he is willing to go to get Aldous to the show and keep his job.
One memorable example that occurs early on is when Aaron and Aldous are standing in line to board a London aircraft bound to New York. Aldous springs on Aaron that he is carrying drugs and that wants Aaron to hide them. Specifically, Aaron should hide them up his butt. Aaron must quickly make a decision of what to do. Does he refuse and risk the wrath of Aldous? Or does he do what Aldous demands and risk his freedom?
There are countless examples of this, and everyone has been designed to make the audience bust a gut laughing so hard.
When I first saw this movie I was immediately reminded of that classic 1982 movie "My Favorite Year". In that movie Peter O'Toole played a washed-up former swashbuckling actor hired to appear on a Sid Ceasar type TV live show. The show hired a young network gopher to keep an eye on the actor and make sure he arrived at the studio every day for rehearsal. He too encountered many problems dealing with the actor's ego and feelings of entitlement.
You don't need to have seen "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" to enjoy this movie. It stands on it's own as one of the years best comedies. If you love to laugh then you owe it to yourself to watch this movie online or see it at the show.
