Get Him to the Greek

2010 · 109 min

A chaotic, joke-packed ride through rock-star excess that hides a surprisingly tender core about friendship and responsibility.

Tagline: Aaron Green has 72 hours to get a rock star from London to L.A. Pray for him.
Overview: 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.
