This comedy is WAY above average--one of the funnier movies of the last 20 years. Jason Segal carries the story well enough, but the highlight is clearly Russell Brand as Aldous Snow. He was entirely deserving of a second outing as that character, but this movie is almost as good as the spinoff. It's nice to look at, too, being set in an amazing Hawaiian hotel. Pretty much everyone in the cast gets to do something fun, with the one weak part being Paul Rudd as a surf instructor. Sorry, but he's way too neurotic to pull it off. But overall, very well written.
