Of course, naturally people know both movies because they have Russell Brand in them, who plays the crazy, out-of-control rocker Aldous Snow. However, I have a problem with the latest spin-off, because it stars Jonah Hill.
Yes, the Jonah Hill. Of Superbad, Funny People, Knocked Up, Accepted, and Evan Almighty fame. Because, people, not only is he in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, he is also in Get Him To The Greek.
But he does not play the same person. This is my problem.
In fact, I have proof. Imdb.com says Hill played "Matthew the waiter" in the first, followed by "Aaron Green" in the second.
What is this nonsense?! It is blatantly obvious that if you want to do a spin-off, you must make it correct. As in, if Matthew the waiter were in F.S.M., then have him get a huge promotion so that the title of the movie makes sense! Otherwise, how on earth would a waiter at a restaurant in Hawaii be charged with getting a rockstar to a concert on time? Wouldn't they give someone else important that job?
Does anyone feel the same way as me? Have any movies you know of (sequels, spin-offs, whatever) where you spotted obvious continuity or other issues?

ReplyDeleteI know exactly who you're talking about! His name is Bruce Campbell, and he played the different people on purpose. I know, extremely strange, but I do remember reading somewhere "see if you can spot Bruce Campbell!" or something like that. So maybe that's what Jonah Hill was trying to accomplish. Either way, I still have a problem with it!!
ReplyDeleteYou guys need to relax. It's just a movie.
