The film revolves around Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) helping washed up rock star Aldous Snow (Russel Brand) get to a show at the Greek Theatre on the tenth anniversary of his iconic performance there. Green's boss Sergio Roma (P. Diddy) tells him to make sure Aldous gets to the show no matter what. Drugs, sex, and furry walls take over their trip and the awesomeness starts.
This is a hilarious movie. The comedic chemistry between Hill and Brand is wonderful. Though many people don't know it, Brand is actually an amazing comedian and that translates well into his acting. His performance embodies the washed up rock star persona. Hill's performance is so believable, he acts just as most people would to the crazy scenarios he's put in. He is essentially the voice of reason (that is constantly ignored). Then, we have the surprise comedic genius of the film, Sean "Diddy" Combs. Coming in to this film I doubted his performance would be that great, but he ended up making me laugh hysterically whenever he was on screen. All the minor characters also leave their mark on the films story in memorable ways, whether they're a hotel clerk/drug dealer or a group of talent agents. This film is also packed with an awesome assortment of cameos, none of which will be revealed to leave you happily surprised when they appear on screen.
All in all, this movie is awesomely funny and I recommend it to anyone i n the mood to laugh, especially if you enjoyed Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
