Forgetting Sarah Marshall really took me by surprise. I went into it thinking it was going to be another run of the mill comedy, but it ended up being a penis wagging good time.  Per usual, with all good films comes a sub-par sequel. Luckily, the upcoming Get Him To The Greek is more spin-off than sequel. We’re not going to get Forgot Sarah Marshall or Forgetting Sarah Marshall Again. Instead, the spin-off focuses on the scene stealing rock star character Aldous Snow (Russell Brand). The film reunites Sarah Marshall director Nicholas Stoller with Jonah Hill and Brand.

In “Marshall,’”the Zen-like Snow is on the wagon. In Get Him To The Greek, he’s fallen off hard. The film centers on a record company assistant (Hill) tasked by his boss (P. Diddy) to drag the uncooperative (and wasted) rock legend (Brand) to Hollywood for a comeback concert and has a mere three days to do so.

I’m aware that the appearance of Mr. Diddy is a turnoff to most (including myself). I’m also aware of the how predictable and unfunny this could potentially be. But with a few small laughs in this trailer and its surprising predecessor, there’s hope to be had.

Who isn’t hoping Jonah Hill becomes the breakout star he was destined to be?
