This is a adult movie, period. I watched it and thought it was really funny. It is NOT for children of any age, as just about everything in the movie is inappropriate. From language to drug use, this is a movie I would not allow anyone under 18 to see. I would not recommend it to young adults as the theme of the movie makes more sense to older adults that grew up in the 70's and early 80's.
This movie is definitely in the same category as Hangover so beware. Although a few parts of Hangover made me cringe, I thought that movie was pretty funny. This movie had a few just completely inappropriate vulgar moments so it was worse than Hangover in my opinion, and not as funny.
This is completely inappropriate for any kid under 17, I don't care what their "maturity" level is.
That all being said, it was generally funny and actually had a good message in the end.
If I had read more reviews, and could do it again, I woudl wait to see it on DVD.
This movie got the highest ratings in our local paper, and we sat through it befuddled. The actors were very charismatic but the subject matter escalated from vulgar to obscene, all with a "this is perfectly normal" tone to it. How many more movies about getting drugs and getting wasted in Las Vegas do we need? How many more anal sex jokes? Spoiler alert: The main character is completely traumatized (raped, forced to be a drug mule, participant in a stabbing) and there is little feeling to it all because it's supposed to be "funneeee!" It's like Jackass with drugs.
Have your older kids who want stronger stuff watch Almost Famous instead. It's got all the bad behavior with a strong moral center and a fully realized story.
Absolutely hilarious, raunchy, drug-feuled buddy comedy is somewhat heartwarming
Not only does this movie have some amazingly funny site gags, frequent funny lines, and the best hotel fight scenes ever, but this heartwarming (at least near the end), hilarious comedy proves that true humor is still alive in cinema. Aldous Snow has some of the most hilarious songs ever wirtten in this movie. Russell Brand and Jonah Hill (who's come a long way since Superbad) work astoundingly well together. I loved this movie. My only issue was some unnecissary dramatic moments. But, those are easily passable. The humor is fast-paced and well-wirtten, although raunchy. Parents: This is an extremely randy film, with sex scenes, sexual references, drug use, strong language, and some violence (especially in the hilarious hotel room fight). Bottom Line: This is well worth your money if you can withstand very raunchy humor. The music, the acting, and the humor all fit together perfectly. And you wouldn't think that this chaotic comedy wraps up in a nice, neat happy ending. But that's only what I took from it. Thanks for reading! - Movie Man

Winning Apatow comedy is less raunchy than some of his other efforts.
It feels much less satirical and more nihilistic than "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", and the first two acts feel distant considering they don't deal with situations the audience can identify with to any extent, but "Get Him to the Greek" features some hilarious scenes and the same tremendous heart. It's a blast, and a welcome addition to the 'Apatow genre'.
Good comedy, but WAY too much sexual material. It just plainly over-did it in that department... lol I saw it with my Aunt only knowing it was a comedy movie.... Akward...
