This was never a film that I particularly wanted to see, but never the less a friend wanted me to see it with them last night, so I did.
I'm generally pretty good at sensing whether or not I will like a film before I see it. And unfortunately, this was no exception. It wasn't terrible, and there were parts that I did enjoy and found funny enough. The opening of the film in which Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) is performing his music video for 'African Child' was quite funny, as was the 'furry wall' scene towards the end of the film. But other than that I didn't do a whole lot of laughing.
They tried to sneak in some serious parts among the mostly crude humor, involving Jonah Hill's character, Aaron Green and his girlfriend as well as Snow realising he is wasting his life on sex and drugs. Although I felt that these moments just didn't fit in with the rest of the film and seemed very out of place.
