Get Him to the Greek

Pinnacle records has the perfect plan to get their sinking company back on track: a comeback concert in LA featuring Aldous Snow, a fading rockstar who has dropped off the radar in recent years. Record company intern Aaron Green is faced with the monumental task of bringing his idol, out of control rock star Aldous Snow, back to LA for his comeback show.

A broadly well-received comedy that critics found funny and occasionally surprising in its sincerity, though reactions were far from uniform — the film lands somewhere between rowdy crowd-pleaser and something with a bit more substance underneath the raunch. One scene depicting male rape drew pointed criticism from multiple reviewers as a serious misstep, and both lead actors have since become subjects of major off-screen controversies that now shadow the film's legacy.
