It takes way too long to GET HIM TO THE GREEK, and therein lies the
problem. The movie gets so bogged down from the halfway point with
things like a prolonged unfunny fight scene and relationship crises,
the whole idea of a deadline is lost, killing both momentum and
suspense. The concert itself is kiss ed off, succeded by a hackneyed
and unsatisfactory ending. But no comedy with Russell Brand (Steve
Coogan's brother-in-brilliance) and/or Jonah better-in-every-picture
Hill is without laughs, and both shine here. — Jeff Schultz
