Now, I’ll admit that I enjoyed Get Him To The Greek when it came out, as at the time, I was consuming every Apatow movie that came out of his pipeline, and while there’s still some redeeming qualities about it, the shine has worn off, and I doubt I’ll watch it again.
Taken simply as a movie, it’s raunchy with a heart to it, and Hill and Brand play off each other remarkably well, but it’s also the exact type of comedy studios are terrified to make today because it might be offensive. And for good reason, there’s a few scenes that would not go over with modern audiences, and that’s without taking into account the off-screen controversies of the last two years.
If you want to check it out for yourself, Get Him To The Greek is available through Video on Demand through Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and AppleTV.
