An average movie

Honestly, I thought it was rather disappointing. Indeed, even though 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' was nothing really original, I thought it was a very nice romantic-comedy and I thought it was a brilliant idea to make a spin-off about Aldous Snow. Furthermore, the story sounded really cool and had some potential to be really outrageous and hilarious. Unfortunately, like I said before, the whole thing didn't really convinced me. The point is that, even though there were definitely some funny scenes, it was never really hilarious and some of the jokes were just terrible. Take Sean Combs, for example. I thought he gave a very decent performance and he was definitely one of the highlights in this movie. However, if his jokes were at first really funny, they wore me down pretty quickly and it was basically the same for the rest of the movie. I mean, Russel Brand and Jonah Hill can be both pretty hilarious so it should have been a riot but, eventually, it was not bad but nothing really mind-blowing whatsoever. For example, not so long ago, I have seen '21 Jump Street' also starring Jonah Hill and the scene where they take some drugs was much better developped and 10 times funnier than the binch drinking/drugs taking scenes they displayed here. Still, Aldous Snow is pretty cool character and I think it is still worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
