White African Space Christ is the title of the latest song by Infinite Sorrow. The ultimate rock star, Aldous Snow, heads the fictional rock band. First introduced in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Snow is the world last old school rocker. He is a man without a filter, saying and doing whatever comes to mind, no matter the consequences. When we meet back up with our mad British rock god, he has been a bit down in the dumps…oddly enough; the critical reception to White African Space Christ was heavily negative.

Enter Aaron Green (Jonah Hill), a young man in his mid-twenties looking to make a name for himself as a music intern at a record company. When his boss needs a big moneymaking idea, Aaron, a lifelong Aldous Snow fan, suggests putting Snow back in the L.A. Greek theater where 10 years earlier he became a star. His boss, Sergio (P. Diddy, who absolutely steals the show every time he is on screen) likes the idea and tells Aaron to get Snow to the Greek.
Get Him to the Greek may become the Russell Brand resume for future comedy roles as he excels in making every scene count. The character of Aldous Snow leaves such an impression that he has dominated two movies in which he was not even technically the lead. With every sentence, word or phrase that Brand utters as Aldous Snow, I found myself bowled over in laughter. His dry delivery and ability to imply so much more than is necessary, in even the simplest of questions, is why Get Him to the Greek works so well.

Jonah Hill’s Aaron Green has to plays devil’s advocate to any and all of Snow’s whims in order to keep him happy before the big show. Over and over again, he is stretched to and beyond his limits, which results in some awkward moments for him and hilarious moments for us.
Snow is a battering ram to Green’s sensibilities. His life is “this is spinal tap” turned up to 12. He makes demands, then forgets them; he changes plans in the middle of thinking about them. Snow is a one man wrecking crew to Aaron’s entire sense of being, all for the sake of being the loudest, craziest, and larger than life figure that he wants to be

Get Him to the Greek is the heir to Old School and the little brother to the Hangover. Where Old School showed us what happens when the boys get back in town and Hangover shows us what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, Greek shows us what happens when the boys never leave Vegas. Snow and Green forge a bond that only happens between people who have shared something awful or special…in this case, especially awful.
Written and Directed by the same team who did Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek is a worthy continuation of the legend that is Aldus Snow.
