"Get Him To The Greek"
3/3.5 stars out of 4. I give it a 3.5 for people who have been really enjoying the Apatowization of Hollywood comedies, like me. The movie is nowhere near as sweet as most of them (like 40-Year Old Virgin, Superbad, Knocked Up, etc.) but still has a surprisingly entertaining and emotional take on old rock star tropes.
For everyone else, a 3, because it still is about emotionally stunted men maturing through misadventurous bonding, meaning you might be sick of that by now. But it is really, really, really funny. And: Russel Brand was literally born to play Aldous Snow. It's the best casting I've seen in years (well, since he originated the character in Sarah Marshall, anyways).
Spoiler: It also has what I think must be the most disturbing sex scene since Irreversible.
