‘Greek' delivers laughs, thin plot
By
Duncan Bryer
| July 5, 2010
You could say that the opening scene of Nicholas Stoller's "Get Him to the Greek" the most recent installment produced by the Judd Apatow comedic enterprise sets the tone for the entire movie: The narcissistic yet talented Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) is an aging rock-star who walks through an African guerilla gunfight in his music video for "African Child," a song through which he frames himself as an "African White Christ from space." Stoller employs this sort of satirical self-awareness throughout the film to both pay homage to and mock the music industry. This paradigm is reinforced by various characters in the movie from Snow's equally immature and self-absorbed father (Colm Meaney) to Sergio Roma (played to perfection by Sean Diddy' Combs), a hilariously over-the-top, yet realistic, music mogul.
