Movie Reviews of Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Decent comedy that Russell Brand takes up a notch
Summary: 4 Stars
Sometimes the extras on a dvd tell much; here they reveal a huge amount of improv on many of the actors' parts, especially Rudd, Hill and the truly special Brand. I hadn't seen him before this flick, and for me he completely outshines the rest here.
The original premise is ok, if familiar, and Segel, Kunis, and Bell are good enough, if nothing new. Segel's script set himself up nicely in Hawaii, starring in his own fantasy, but it's Russell Brand who steals the show. Watching him crack up the cast and crew on the extras shows how much his vibe infected the set; he's lightning fast and adds a level of intelligence that lifts this above all the other Apatow Factory comedies except the first and still best, 40 Year Old Virgin. Brand is just plain funny to watch; his take on male arrogance is perfect, and the new agey stuff is priceless.
All in all, a good movie made near-great by a comic genius whom I can't wait to laugh at in another dozen films.
If they ever remake Withnail And I as a musical, here's the guy!
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!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 presented in unexpected and human ways (the nude breakup scene is played for giggles but also deep poignancy), and the language and sex scenes are strictly for grownups--and rightly so. Segel's script, and his performance as Peter, show that he understands the true nature of adult re! lationships, which provides the refreshing difference between this film and some of Apatow's other crude creations. The cast is sublime; Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) plays title character Sarah, a self-absorbed actress, and Russell Brand is her new British honey who accompanies her to--what are the chances?--the exact same Hawaiian resort as Peter, who's nursing his broken heart. Mila Kunis plays Rachel, the resort employee who gives Peter a reason to hope, and Paul Rudd is the surfing instructor who gives him his own brand of heartfelt advice ("When life gives you lemons, just say 'F--- the lemons' and bail," he says cheerily). The pacing is screwball, and the absurdities fly (a "Dracula" musical puppet show, and a surprisingly lovely Hawaiian version of "Nothing Compares 2 U"). Nothing the viewer will forget any time soon.--A.T. Hurley
