Get him to The Greek (Russell Brand & Jonah Hill)

Same trailer but without the Apple.

I'm torn, I love Russel Brand but hate Jonah Hill. He's good in films where he isn't in it much like 40 year old virgin but he completely ruined superbad for me because I find him so annoying.

This film will be a big hit, Forgetting Sarah Marshal was a big hit and for most people the best thing about it was Russel Brand. His own spin off film is great news.
 
Seriously love the trailer..it's gonna be so epic. Can take or leave Jonah Hill..would've loved Jason Segel/Seth Rogen to have been in it though :D:D

Did I see the guy who played Ed in series 8 of Scrubs in the meeting scene, the guy who had the "flush tones" idea?
 
Saw this film today and really enjoyed it. I will say upfront that I'm a Russell Brand fan, but was really impressed with his performance in this. Jonah was also really good and I was very suprised with how funny P Diddy was too!

I was at an advance screening thingy and the film was introduced by Russell and Jonah and they both seemed really proud of the movie and I think they should be!

I do think this will be a hit, and I dont think the trailer does it justice - there's much more to it than just a bit of a road movie, can highly recommend.
 
Saw this film last night, seriously one of the funniest films I've seen in a long time. Russell BranRAB acting was actually really good (sorry Russell, didn't actually think it would be lol).

Just stroke the furry wall :D
 
That hotel room/furry wall scene was ****ing hilarious, and Diddy really did surprise me with his comedic timing...definitely not just a cheap 'name' to bring in cash.

I think, though, Forgetting Sarah Marshall had a better story arc and character development...for a comedy.

It seemed a bit stop/start, and there wasn't enough of a build up of actually getting him to the Greek...I didn't feel there was a point where Brand's character genuinely might not make it. It was just a song and dance coaxing him along.

Maybe it needed a scene where Brand was in real crisis, like perhaps him OD'ing. Not half-arsedly standing on a roof and breaking his arm.

I dunno, it just needed a bit more of a 'YEAHHH HE MADE IT', however cheesy it sounRAB.
 
Saw this on Wednesday, and even though I'm a fan of Russ from his podcast days, I was surprised how good GHTTG was.

It'll win no awarRAB, and is kind of infantile at times, but I was in stitches throughout, and one particular sequence (you'll know which one) had me laughing so much it hurt.

Agree with posters above though: Diddy steals the show. Such a funny performance and a wonderful surprise.
 
I hate Russell Brand. Got to say I like the film though. Wasn't side splitting funny, but was very amusing and Russell played the character well.
 
Saw it today, was HILARIOUS.
I was surprised with P-Diddys performance and Russell obviously suited the character well.
On par with FSM. loved the vegas scenes, "african face" and mind-fvcking the best.

oh, and the songs were great too, it was russell singing all of them and he has a great voice.

7.5/10
 
I thought it was brilliant. Really funny.

"I'm mind-f*cking you right now."

"Well you better be wearing a condom because I've got a dirty mind."
