9) 6.13.10 Get him to the Greek

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1226229/

I really liked Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but when I heard there was a sequel to the movie, I was kind of skeptical; it just didn't make sense. As it turns out, the sequel is more like a Kevin Smith movie. Some characters are consistent throughout a series of films that all take place in the same universe. I was surprised how well Russell Brand's character Aldous Snow was able to not annoy for the 90+ mins he was on screen. Even Jonah Hill branched off from his usual loud and crude characters and was someone far more easygoing and docile. The humor is mostly sexually crude, so it's not for everyone. The music sucked balls, even by today's modern "rock" standards, but it's forgivable since I didn't really expect to like that aspect of the movie from the start. I'm kind of divided with this movie. It was far funnier than I expected, but there were times when there were big lulls in between the big laughs, and lord knows I didn't watch it for the cinematography or compelling plot development. But I would watch it again, and probably laugh just as hard as the first watch, which says something.  

6/10
