Forgetting Sarah Marshall
-
From the producers of The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up comes a comic look at one guy's arduous quest to grow up and get over the heartbreak of being dumped - if he can only make himself start Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Struggling musician Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) has spent six years idolizing his girlfriend, television star Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). He's the guy left holding her purse in paparazzi photos and accidentally omitted from acceptance award speeches. But his world is rocked when she dumps him and Peter finds himself alone. After an unsuccessful bout of womanizing and an on-the-job nervous breakdown, he sees that not having Sarah may just ruin his life. To clear his head, Peter takes an impulsive trip to Hawaii, where he is confronted by his worst nightmare: his ex and her tragically hip new British-rocker boyfriend, Aldous (Russell Brand), are sharing his hotel. But as he torments himself with the reality of Sarah's new life, he finds relief in a flirtation with Rachel (Mila Kunis), a beautiful resort employee whose laid-back approach tempts him to rejoin the world. He also finds relief in several hundred embarrassing, fruity cocktails.

After the success of The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Superbad we've learned what to expect from a Judd Apatow-produced comedy, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall ticks all the right boxes. The film — about a man left heartbroken after his girlfriend ditches him for a rock star — has many of the Apatow regulars (Jason Segel, Johah Hill, Paul Rudd and Bill Hader), and carefully treads that tiny line between sweet sentimentality and gross-out humour. Segel, who also wrote the script, is the perfect fit as the main character Peter, a crying and crushed shell of a man who heads to Hawaii to get over his ex. Unfortunately, she's staying in the same resort with her new boyfriend, Aldous Snow (Russell Brand doing an impersonation of himself). Of course this leads to more crying (him) and much laughter (us). Forgetting Sarah Marshall is much better than Knocked Up — it's funnier, the characters are more likeable and the situations and emotions are more realistic. But at 112 minutes, it is about 20 minutes too long.
