This movie is hilarious. The interplay between Hill and Brand are great together. I don't understand why so many don't like it.

I hate Russel Brand. He was funny in small doses in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but i don't like him. I don't think his stand up is funny, i think he acts the same in everything he does, and I didn't think he could carry a whole movie himself.

I tried to watch that movie a couple times, but it just couldn't grab my attention.

As much as i don't like the guy's style or comedy, and am jealous that he has sprayed Katy Perry's guts, his character in FSM was one of the funnier things on film.

I understand not liking Brand, but he's perfect in this role.

The Jeffery scene was greatness. Some stuff in the movie I just thought was out of place and weird. Overall it was a funny movie, IMO.

Brand is somewhere between wanna party with/Mag Lite beatdown, but he was made for this role. The whole morning show sequence is hilarious.

Amen. I don't like Jonah Hill either. Although he has started to grow on me after This is the End..

My guess is a lot of people were put off at how much darker it was than Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

It's sort of like how Knocked Up was followed by the much more serious This is 40.

Terrible third act kind left audiences disappointed at the end. But yea, Hill and Brand were awesome together

Agreed and I'll add Zach Gailfinakeis also. He makes me cringe.

overrated if anything since the movie isn't very good. The threesome scene? WTF?

Without the Jeffrey scene there wouldn't be a single laugh.

Saw it once when it first came out and didn't really care for it. I just really don't like Russell brand.

I really liked that movie and I can't stand Russell Brand's acting in anything else.
