Arizona Republic
As an encore for Brand's Aldous, it's a welcome return. And for Hill, it's a chance to really shine. - 75
Orlando Sentinel
The mercurial Brand is spot on as the mercurial Aldous, putting over outrageously titled tunes with panache. - 75
Tampa Bay Times
The movie is like an old vinyl LP; the best cuts are on the first side, there's a bangup finish and a lot of filler material in between. - 75
ReelViews
Turns out to be the funniest hard-R comedy since "The Hangover." - 70
Variety
Barring a few lapses, the gags fly by in rapid-fire fashion, and enough of them connect -- thanks in part to the amusing mix of Hill's hang-dog demeanor with Brand's lanky, relentless hedonism. - 70
Village Voice
Get Him to the Greek, is a mess, but an amiable and occasionally uproarious one due mostly to Russell Brand’s reprising of his role as Aldous Snow. - 70
Movieline
The funniest bits in the movie are, by and large, the small, offhanded gags stuffed into the corners.
