Greek

Get Him to the Greek (2010)

Johan Hill and Russell Brand star in this comedy spin off sequel with support from Rose Byrne and P Diddy from the production stable of Judd Apatow. A low level talent scout from Los Angeles has to help get a self destructive British rocker to a concert in the US.

There are some laughs along the way but this is not an especially impressive film, for the most part the plot is by the numbers with no real depth. While Brand's character is supposed to be a heroin addict the actual affects are largely ignored and it seems that taking heroin does not actually have any affect on his health. The film is well enough made but it is very hard to find a reason to recommend it.

3/5 a lazy attempt at a gross out comedy
