Absolutely amazing

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

A kind of raunchy story of a "famous" TV star and her boyfriend who break up and then accidentally vacation at the same hotel in Hawaii, her with her new boyfriend, he alone, to lament his break up. They get together again as her boyfriend leaves, but, it doesn't last as he has found someone else. Funny but nonsensical and many unnecessary references to sexual activity.

Judd Apatow's position as producer probably had a lot to do with Forgetting Sarah Marshall being greenlighted, a fairly entertaining romantic comedy which provides fairly consistent giggles for most of its running time.Jason Segel, who also wrote the screenplay, plays Peter Brettner, a musician who has just broken up with his girlfriend, Sarah Marshall(Kristen Bell), a television star, who is now involved with a rock musician (Russell Brand). In an attempt to forget about Sarah, Peter vacations in Hawaii, and in true romantic comedy fashion, Sarah and her new guy are vacationing there as well. We then watch poor Peter running into Sarah wherever he goes while taking the attention of an attractive hotel desk clerk (Mila Kunis) for granted.Segel presents a very flawed and believable character in Peter, who is painted as this tortured sad sack while Sarah is painted as this cold-hearted bitch, which is not surprising since Segel did write the screenplay and if you're OK with that, you will probably be OK with everything that goes on here, even if it goes on a little too long, which is something I've come to expect from the Judd Apatow rep company.Segel and Kunis make a nice couple and Russell Brand is very funny as Aldous Snow, the arrogant but not as dumb as he looks rock star. Segal has provided some funny moments along the way for Jonah Hill as a waiter obsessed with Brand, Bill Hader as Peter's stepbrother, Kristen Wiig as a yoga instructor and especially Paul Rudd as a perpetually stoned surfing instructor.There are definitely some slow moments here and there, but Segel and company will hold your attention for most of the running time.

I absolutely love this movie. It's so fantastic. I've seen it at least seven times and I can't get enough. Just a warning, their is nudity. You see Jason Segel's penis a couple of times. Make sure if someone under the of, let's say, sixteen, to let them know when to cover their eyes. Because some parents are happy for teenagers to watch rude or inappropriate movies like this, but don't want them to see penises. In this movie, Jason Segel's character, Peter, is currently dating one of the biggest superstars in Hollywood, Kristen Bell's character, Sarah Marshall. But when she breaks it off, he gets very upset and goes on a vacation to Hawaii, to try and get over her. Or at least, stop thinking about her. Hence the title, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. But when he goes to the Turtle Bay Resort on Oahu, and Sarah ends up being there as well, with her new boyfriend, Aldous Snow, things take a bad turn. Sarah thinks Peter as come to beg her to take him back, but that's not the case. Peter starts dating Turtle Bay employee, Rachel. But then Sarah tries to have a better relationship with Aldous than Peter does with Rachel. It's a battle to have a better, more steamy and more hotter relationship.Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis and Russell Brand are all amazing in this movie.Overall, I give this movie a 10 out of 10.

What a waste of time. I feel cheated out of 111 minutes of my life and i want it back. Definitely not funny and not even a good movie in any other respect. Russell Brand was mildly interesting but it wasn't enough. I can't understand how it could get a 7.3 rating on IMDb except that their must be lot of high people watching and then reviewing it. Find something else to watch and don't trust the inflated ratings on IMDb. And this minimum review length is lame. How long do you need to read that i thought this movie sucks monkey butts? How many ways does it need to be said? This movie gives Jason Segal a really bad name since he is the guy that wrote it (for now he should just stick to acting).
