Still annoys me some.
Though, this film was a lot better than I was gearing myself up for...definitely more tolerable than "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" (which if you didn't know was ...kind of...a prequel, in that Brand played the same character), which I hated and found an absolute bore.
I swear I think the only people who claim to have liked that film were Jason Segel fans that wanted to save face, the film is just NOT that good to warrant the amount people seem to "love" it. It was one of the most boring comedies in the last 10 years.
But yeah, GHTTG was not too bad at all. The drug fight scene was the shit.

I thought that
Forgetting Sarah Marshal was horrible... NO idea why people thought it was hilarious - It was a waste of an hour and a half of my life.
I actually enjoyed
Get Him to the Greek a lot - The fake songs/music videos had me rolling. I agree that it was uneven; it's one of those movies where the parts are greater than the whole - Lots of really funny parts, but as a whole the movie isn't necessarily great. It's rewatchable for me, though.
...
Beneath the Dark (2010)
Better than average indie horror fare. I would have to say that I actually enjoyed the narrative and how the story unraveled itself (pretty early on you
know that there's a secret just begging to be let free) - There was enough to keep me interested and watching it.
My only problem is that the "twist" was fairly predictable (but, in truth, probably because I've seen two other indie films that I can think of off the top of my head with similar themes - if I were a viewer who had not seen these films,
Beneath the Dark might have surprised me).
[SPOILERS]
Same kind of "twist" you see with Dead End and Reeker. Having seen both of those films, I knew where this was going pretty early on.
[/SPOILERS]
Not bad - Good indie effort. Just lacks originality.
3/5.
