Movies that exist just to exist most generally suck. There needs to be a purpose in order for success to occur. A great theory of movies is that they should either entertain and/or inform the audience. And here lies the problem; Get Him to the Greek does neither.
Get Him to the Greek is an absolute fail of a movie. First off, it's way too fucking long. Seriously, this shit is 109 minutes and it easily could have been cut off into a half-hour skit on Comedy central. A really big shitty one for that matter. And you feel every second of it. EVERY. FUCKING. SECOND. It's boring. There's no story, substance, or point. Just excuses to put the main characters into contrived situations that are supposed to be hillarious.
It's also a complete fail in terms of comedy. Russell Brand is an absolutely obnoxious, unfunny, one trick pony of a comedian. He's about as subtle as a bullet to the head. Overracting to the point of a spoof is not amusing by any means, it's just ridiculous to watch. Jonah Hill doesn't fare much better. He's stronger as a side character. Unfortunately..he just isn't that funny. The only character that provides laughs in every scene they are in is Sergio, played by a criminally underused Diddy. Everyone else fails.
