Peter Bretter has spent six years idolizing his girlfriend, television star Sarah Marshall. 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 Oahu, where he is confronted by his worst nightmare: his ex and her tragically hip new British-rocker boyfriend, Aldous, 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, a beautiful resort employee whose laid-back approach tempts him to rejoin the world. He also finds relief in several hundred embarrassing, fruity cocktails.

Expecting great things when I saw Jason Segal (HIMYM) wrote this film, but I was still a bit concerned about 2 hours of Russell Brand playing...Russell Brand! Thankfully he wasn't and this film turned out to be THE movie of 2008 for me. Kristen Bell was absolutely gorgeous and the perfect choice as Sarah Marshall, Paul Rudd added his usual supporting comedy role but this time as a hot, stoned surfer dude, and Jason Segal was hiliarious and heartwarming, although warning to anyone taking their mother to see this film, he is naked. Alot. Really naked.
If you want one reason to watch this film make it the amazing genius play in the middle of the film. All I'm going to say is 'Psychiatrist', puppets, musical and Dracula. Genius! Undoubtably 5 stars.
He's done it again. Producer Judd Apatow's policy of keeping faith with his friends paid off handsomely with last year's Superbad and Knocked Up. Walk Hard and Drillbit Taylor were a little disappointing, but Forgetting Sarah Marshall looks like it will be another popular smash, and it breaks another new comedy star in Jason Segel. Segel wrote the screenplay but it's unlikely anyone but Apatow would have let him play the lead role, struggling composer Peter Brettner. After all, unless you're a Read more
