A fun ride with a sudden stop.

This is Nicholas Stoller's first mainstream film in which he both wrote and directed, exploring the high's and lows of Jason Segal's Forgetting Sarah Marshall's character "Aldous Snow". Aldous Snow is the controversial, alcoholic, drug addict rock star stereotype played by Russell Brand. He does it well and leaves us with a strong and convincing performance, but then It's hard to criticise his acting when he for the most part just plays himself, and to that point he does it well as always. The story-line is basic but strong, and doesn't skimp on the laughs... or the nauseating, leaving the theater in stitches and disgust several times throughout. It takes you on a journey of the highs and lows of life as a rock star, the publicly glorified side and the more somber, touching on the loneliness and struggles with relapse. It flew by fast and felt squashed at the end, the resolution was a tad jammed and left me slightly disappointed, but i'll be watching it again. If you liked the hangover, you'll defiantly like this.

A Surprise Gem

I remember when I first saw the ad for this I said "There's no way in hell I'm seeing that crap".Low and behold, I was wrong as my girlfriend demanded we go and see Russell Brand "be his sexy self". I never saw it personally. Is it just the accent or is there something else about the greasy haired skeleton with an oversized skull that gets girls knickers soaking?Anyway, holy crap! I learned to not judge a book by its cover. Jonah Hill as the straight man with Russell as the comic was a brilliant combination and they bounce off of one another in superb fashion.Russell is a carefree rockstar who takes drugs like skittles, misses his ex and starts controversy like he's Kanye West mixed with the Sex Pistols whilst Jonah plays a dweeby fanboy who has to make sure that his hero makes it on time to his own concert. This proves rather difficult as Russell would rather take drugs and have copious amounts of sex to avoid thinking about his horrid relationships with friends and family.It's shot well, the music is not only original but actually funny and every actor plays their part tremendously.The story is okay, not brilliant and the ending is expected.I went in expecting crap so I was pleasantly surprised.
