Download Get Him to the Greek Full Movie
great as a leading man, but perhaps this isn’t a showcase performance for his dramatic talent the way Cyrus could be.
Russell Brand, however, makes the film his own. Before Get Him to the Greek, I had a severe distaste for him, finding him arrogant and irritating. This film makes it apparent, however, that he’s clued into his own low-rent Jack Sparrow act, and the third act of the film is host to a bunch of dramatic beats that really reveal his talent. If you can get over his schtick, you’ll enjoy him quite a bit.
My main beef with Stoller’s film is that he’s unable to seamlessly blend the heavier emotional stuff with broad comedy the way that Apatow can weave in and out effortlessly. As a result, some stuff feels out of place and too heavy, while other stuff feels way too light and uncharacteristic of what we’ve come to expect of our main characters.
