Get Him To The Greek

"Get Him To The Greek" features Jonah Hill as Aaron Green, as a junior executive at "Pinnacle Records", who is sent by his boss (played by Sean Coombs) to fetch notoriously unreliable British rock star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) to play an anniversary concert at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.

Once Aaron reaches London he finds himself trapped in a fairly debauched version of the mis-matched guy travel movie (think "Midnight Run" or "Planes, Trains and Automobiles", but with a lot more gross-out humour involved), as they sample the delights of London, New York, Las Vegas and LA on the way to the gig.

The movie made me laugh out loud more than anything I an remember in recent years and in the aftermath I've decided I've got to get a furry wall for my house.

The ending is a little flat (but I guess mandatory for Hollywood) but definitely worth watching.
