Get Him to the Greek

So I went and saw "Get Him to the Greek" and I actually went and saw it the next night too. It was a surprisingly good movie, not only was it funny (if you don't mind ad-lib) but it had a good plot. the point of the movie and the resolution was never shoved down your throat, by the end of the movie you felt a certain way, but you weren't told to feel that way.

The icing on the cake was Lars Ulrich's big screen appearance. If you are a fan of Metallica, and like most fans, dislike Lars, then you will thoroughly enjoy the scenes where he is present. He plays himself and in turn gets made fun of multiple times in the movie. The best quote, and don't worry, you will still laugh when you here it, was when Russell Brand's character, Aldous, visits is ex Jackie Q. Lars walks out and Aldous says hello to Lars and then says "yeah... enter sandman," accompanied by a little hand flick/wave thing. I lost it. Then when Lars interrupts again, Aldous says," Why don't you go sue Napster again you Danish twat." This was just very clever and it was an original way to make fun of him.

Throughout the movie, Jason Segel's songs for Infant Sorrow, or Aldous, added the very funny lyrics and genuine songs to the movie. If you remember "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," the song "Inside of you" makes a comeback in this film. The funny lyrics of the songs and the clever humor of the script made this movie thoroughly enjoyable. And anything that makes fun of Lars is cool with me.
