Get Him to the Greek - 3 stars out of 5 stars

One day late.Should have posted yesterday.
Once before I stated its hard to review comedies because its not always funny the second time around as well as humor being very personnel to many folks.So i'll state upfront I won't own this DVD but I will recommend the viewing.I took 2 stars off because its a Apatow Productions film and their  too over the top as druggie humor film makers as well the story is nothing special.So why did I see it?Well I saw Colm Meaney as Jonathan Snow in the credits and being a DS9 and all STNG junkie I had to see it.Truth be told he wasn't that good in this but the film has its moments sans the drugs and well thats not much:(.
The only thing else I'll say since humor is so personnel,its a much"smarter"film than Sasha Baron Cohen's flicks as well as more shocking in some respects.So if you want a dirty but funny laugh,see this once.It was released in 2010 and runs 109 minutes.Trailer URL below the pix.Oh and the vague storyline below from of IMDB.

English rock star Aldous Snow relapses into drugs and booze after a break up and a disastrous record. In L.A., Aaron Green works for a record company stuck in recession. Aaron's boss gives him a career making task - to bring Aldous from London to L.A. for a concert in 72 hours. That day, Aaron's girlfriend Daphne tells him she wants to finish her medical residency in Seattle. Aaron's sure this ends their relationship. In London, things aren't much better: Aldous delays their departure several times, plies Aaron with vices, and alternates between bad behavior and trenchant observations. Can Aaron moderate Aldous's substance abuse and get him to the Greek? What about Daphne? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>
