Compare/Contrast- Get Him with the Greek

In the website rogerebert.com Roger Ebert talks about the movie Get Him to the Greek. This movies about two guys Russell Brand and Jonah Hill and how their friendship works. Hill's character is required be cool and nice to Brand but he's desperately trying to do the right thing. Russell Brand is a rock star, self-destructive, smarter than he seems, and he is also excellent at controlling others. Get Him to the Greek is a great comedy and Roger Ebert seems to think so too. When Brand's character has reveals his true rock and roll roots. He can party at top speed and send Aldous onstage at the Greek, despite a bleeding wound from a jump from a rooftop. Even though this movie is a hilarious comedy it's not the best movie to watch with the whole family since it does have some gross-out comedy that grows, offensive language, drugs, its partying, and its animal behavior. Roger Ebert and I have many of the same views about this movie. The only thing is that he does not mention that this movie is a little over the top, as in it is pretty gross and has a lot of drugs and sex. Even though this movie is crazy and all over the place it's still one of my favorite movies since it has none stop cheap laughs.
