Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Unrated Widescreen Edition)

Peter (Jason Segel) is a struggling musician who finds his world turned upside down when his TV celebrity girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), dumps him for a tragically hip rock star. It’s the hysterically funny look at how far one man will go to forget a girl – and all the fun he finds along the way! Breaking up is hard to do–but that doesn’t mean you can’t have some belly laughs about it. Forgetting Sarah Marshall provides that rare treat: a romantic comedy about breakups, that is both romantic and funny. The laughs, especially from writer-star Jason Segel, are both heartfelt and raunchy, and the film is just unexpected enough that it keeps the viewer’s attention till the end. The touches of producer Judd Apatow, who’s famously retooled rom-coms to appeal to guys as much as women, are woven throughout the film, but Segel’s script, reportedly based on many of his own experiences, is fresh and original. And adult. Forgetting Sarah Marshall features male genitalia laffs pre

    OK, so Apatow has plugged into a profitable formula for comedies, and he’s staying true to his format. Where’s the crime in that? His movies are funny and appeal to the broad 17-54 audience.

    I thought the movie was very entertaining. All of the characters were veryt likeable on some level. There really isn’t a villain in the film (Well, maybe the puppet Van Helsing). The main characters show that people are shades of grey, not black and white.

    Unlike many comedies tat find it necessary to wedge in some ill-fitting hollywood “names” that ham up their minor roles, this film did not go there. The supporting cast all act within a believable space, though some are a bit of a push toward the edges (the inexperienced newlyweds) or the stereotype (the surfing instructor).

    Bottom line — this film doesn’t disappoint, and leaves you feeling that no matter how bad life seems, things can always get better if you stay true to yourself and pursue a happy life. It’s a nice 2-hour escape.

    When you hear the phrase “date movie”, most people usually think “chick flick”, a movie that’s pleasing to the female on the date yet only passable at best for the guy. Something like The Wedding Planner, 27 Dresses or the most recent chick-centric movie to be dubbed “the perfect date movie”, Made of Honor.

    Forgetting Sarah Marshall blows all those flicks right out of the water. This movie is a rare occurrence. It’s a movie that has the right amount of romance for the ladies and an abundance of raunchy jokes for the guys. Kristen Bell is especially good in her role as the title character. She’s come a long way since Veronica Mars. She proves that comedy is her real forte.

    My wife and I took a chance on this and rented it when we couldn’t find anything else. We haven’t seen any other Apatow films — they all looked a little too adolescent for our tastes. We had read some good reviews of this, though, so we gave it a shot. It was a real surprise — very clever, well-written, and genuinely funny. Great cast, and all give excellent performances. Lots of real talent went into this. A very enjoyable movie.
