Forgetting Sarah Marshall

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.

    Rated - 2 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Creeped out.

    Very strange characters in this film. The main character is a little creepy to say the least - someone who, if he spoke to you in the lift you would exit on the wrong floor just to get away.

    The plot is rambling and the characters have minimal emotional reaction to anything. They have strange crossing-over relationships with one another, which by the end you think, what was the point in having relationship at all . My instinct is that the film tries to do something different about relationships but it only succeeds in being low-key and meaningless.

    The highpoint is the lead character singing about seeing a psychiatrist and killing himself(that should give you a clue about the rest of the film!)

    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
