Get Him to the Greek is a psudo-sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall? You're completely right that Forgetting Sarah Marshall was one of the better comedies in a long long time. I understand not wanting to brand a new movie with the baggage of having a relationship with an older (and unsuccessful) movie... but if they'd mentioned that Brand's character was from FSM, I'd probably have seen Greek by now. I also agree about Jonah Hill, and Superbad. Both are terribly overrated, and I just don't understand what charm Hill is supposed to have. It's one of those "he's unlikable on purpose, so you're supposed to love his flaws" type of a situation, but in everything I've ever seen him in, he was more akin to "he's unlikable on purpose, and maybe if Hill was a stronger actor he could pull it off, but in the end he's just unlikable." I've never seen him in anything where an alternative actor wouldn't have been preferable. Great review Dale. Thanks! Wait… Get Him to the Greek is a psudo-sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall?
