Get Him to the Greek (Stoller, 2010)
IMDB Link

Anything that Judd Apatow touches feels like a Apatow film. Even if he is neither the director or the writer. Does he choose films and scripts that appeal to his style or does have such a direct influence on the films? Maybe the people involved just try to appease him by copying his style.

"Get Him to the Greek" has the main ingredients by now. Platonic love between men, mixture of gross-out human with some sprinkles of dick-flick drama, and finally characters that feel like nice enough people.

This time,  the hetrocouple is fat, nerdy music industry guy, Aaron (Jonah Hill), with Aldous Snow (Russell Brand), a has-been, drug-addicted rock star. The plan is to have a comeback anniversary concert with Aldous Snow, and it's up  to Aaron to make sure he gets there on time and stay out of trouble. Through the journey, they will face many high jinks, but they will find that bro love is the backbone of a modern society and solves all world problems. Or something like that.

3/5

If you read 'bro love' and 'backbone' together, it almost looks like Brokeback.

"There's this whole school of thought that movies are always so great when you're 10 or 12 years old, and the reality of it is, when you're 10 or 12 years old, you've only seen 100 stories. By the time you get to be 25, you've seen 3,000. You've seen every permutation of every dramatic arc. And when somebody takes that and stands it on its head, that can be exciting." David Fincher
