Get Him to the Greek 2010


Get Him to the Greek is a 2010 American comedy film written and directed by Nicholas Stoller and starring Jonah Hill and Russell Brand. The film was released on June 4, 2010. Get Him to the Greek is a spin-off sequel of Stoller's 2008 film Forgetting Sarah Marshall, reuniting director Stoller with stars Hill and Brand. Brand reprises his role as character Aldous Snow from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, while Hill plays an entirely new character. The film also stars Elisabeth Moss, Rose Byrne, and Sean "Diddy" Combs.


Rock star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) releases an album and an accompanying single about problems in Africa called "African Child." The song and music video are panned and called "the worst thing to happen to Africa since apartheid" by NME. The single ruins Aldous's career, and as a result he starts drinking and doing drugs excessively once again. His girlfriend Jackie Q (Rose Byrne), with whom he had a son named Naples, also leaves him, taking custody of Naples.

Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) is a driven, idealistic young college graduate who works as a low-level talent scout at Pinnacle Records. He lives with his girlfriend Daphne (Elisabeth Moss), a doctor in her internship, but they do not get to see each other often due to her heavy work schedule. Pinnacle Records has lost a lot of money, so the head of the company, Sergio Roma (Sean "Diddy" Combs), asks for ideas. Green proposes to have Aldous Snow play at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles for the tenth anniversary of a particularly famous performance there.

Though he at first shoots it down, Sergio later decides Aaron has a good idea, so he orders him to transport Aldous from London, to an interview on the Today Show, then to the concert in Los Angeles. Before he leaves, Aaron has a fight with Daphne. She was offered a job in Seattle and wants to move there, but Aaron is hesitant to do so. Aaron has to leave to catch a flight, and he departs thinking they have broken up. When he arrives at London, he finds Aldous is incredibly difficult and unwilling to listen to Aaron. As a result, they spend a long time out partying, constantly pushing their departure further and further back. Aaron has been trying to limit Aldous's narcotic intake, but is forced to let him do drugs and drink for fear that he won't perform. Because of this, when they finally arrive at the Today Show, barely making the deadline, Aaron drinks and smokes as much as he can so Aldous cannot. Although Snow originally wants to sing "African Child", he forgets the words. Aaron, in his high and drunk stupor tries to assist him, but Aldous simply changes the song to "The Clap", an old favorite. His performance is well accepted, and both Aaron and Aldous feel better about future prospects.

While preparing to fly to Los Angeles, Aldous forces Aaron to smuggle drugs in his rectum. During their travels and time in London and New York, Aaron learns that Aldous has become miserable and lonely, as he misses his son and has not talked to his father in several years. Aaron shares his relationship troubles, and Aldous encourages him to enjoy his time in Los Angeles. Giving advice to Aldous, Aaron suggests he visits Jackie Q and his father and so the two make a stop in Las Vegas the night prior to the 
 show to see Aldous's father. Sergio also arrives, wanting to help oversee the final proceedings. Aaron, on Sergio's orders, leaves to have sex with a girl named Destiny, but she sodomizes him with a large dildo. He tells Aldous and his father that he has been raped, so they encourage him to smoke a "Geoffrey", a joint which is filled with many different drugs. Aaron starts believing he is having a heart attack, but the others are too high to help him. Aldous has a fight with his father; Sergio jumps in, and their tussle ends up setting the club on fire. Aldous attempts to help Aaron with an adrenaline shot to the heart and they run out of the club, chased by Sergio.


Aldous and Aaron are driven to Los Angeles, where Snow visits Jackie Q. She has been sleeping with 

Metallica's drummer, Lars Ulrich (and is apparently engaged to him), and confesses to Aldous that Naples is not actually his biological son. This depresses him even further. During this time, Aaron returns to his girlfriend and tries to make amends for the sex he has had during their fight. She did not believe they were broken up, leading to more friction. Aldous shows up, trying to help, and invites them to a threesome, which Daphne accepts and Aaron reluctantly goes along with. During their sex, Aaron becomes distressed, and orders Aldous out of his house. Aldous has now hit rock bottom, and an hour before the concert prepares to jump from a roof. Aaron comes to his aid and Aldous instead jumps into a pool, but hits his arm on the way down, breaking it. Instead of going to a hospital, Aldous does the concert, realizing his fans are more important than he is. Although Aaron discusses with Sergio that Aldous really needs help, the executive's only suggestion is to have Aldous pop some more pills; this enabling causes Aaron to quit in disgust. However, Aaron sees how happy Aldous is performing and lets him continue while he himself goes home and reconciles with his girlfriend. Months later in Seattle (where Aaron and his girlfriend have moved), a healthier Aldous Snow has returned to fame with a single produced by Aaron based on events from their night in Las Vegas.
