Movie Reviews of Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Hilarious, touching "guy-chick flick" keeps the Apatow spirit alive
Summary: 5 Stars
Judd Apatow's comedies ("Knocked Up," "The 40-Year Old Virgin," etc.) have taken the early 2000s by storm. His winning combination of hilarious writing and lovable schlubs - with more than a smidgen of sex and drugs - is a perfect combination for these meta, post-modern times.
Apatow may not have written or directed "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," but his fingerprints are everywhere . . . which isn't surprising because he produced the flick and it was written by, directed by, and stars several of his favorite actors. The writer-star of the picture is Jason Spegel, who plays TV composer Peter Bretter. In the first five minutes, we see Peter's Apatow-ish pathetic life - watching TV for days on end, eating gigantic bowls of sugary cereal and wearing the same old sweats every stinking day. Then tragedy enters his idyll - his actor girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell, in a terrific performance) dumps him.
After wallowing in self-pity, the movie takes off when Peter heads to Hawaii, where he checks into the same hotel where Sarah is staying with her Australian rock star boyfriend Aldous Snow (Russell Brand, hilarious). More importantly, Peter meets hotel concierge Rachel (Mila Kunis, "That 70s Show"), and she steals his heart and Ms. Kunis darn near steals the entire movie.
Indeed, if "FSM" were a weaker movie, Ms. Kunis would be all anyone would talk about - she's that good. Not only is her comic timing impeccable, she finds depths to her character that just aren't found in most comedies. But as with so many Apatow-ish flicks, virtually every character has something inspired about him or her. There are no cardboard cutouts here - not even Paul Rudd playing a stoned surf instructor.
Look for some genuine, if comic, exploration of heartache and recovery, not to mention the regrets that Ms. Marshall must go through as she realizes that by "trading up" to a rock star, she may have left behind the most special guy she's ever met. What makes the movie special, though, is that Ms. Marshall doesn't get her classic come-uppance a la so many teen movie vixens, but instead confronts the realization that Peter isn't perfect, but he's darn close . . . and that's about as much as she's entitled to. Peter, meanwhile, learns that while Sarah has her good points, she's got more than her share of baggage even though, blast it, he loves her.
All this exposition is designed with one purpose - to show you that there is a lot of heft to this movie, even though it is first and last a comedy. And it's effing hilarious. It's also quite raunchy, and not in a gross-out way. Suffice it to say that there is as much male nudity as female, but there's enough of both to appeal to any taste, except perhaps grandma's.
Check it out - one of the best comedies of the year.
Summary of 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!Similar DVD Movies
