Movie Review: "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"

Struggling musician Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) has spent six years idolizing his girlfriend, television star Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). While writing a Muppet-type Dracula musical, he's the guy left holding her purse in paparazzi photos and accidentally omitted from acceptance award speeches. Things take a twist when she breaks up with him, and Peter suddenly 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: Sarah and her tragically-hip, new British-rocker boyfriend, Aldous (Russell Brand), are staying at his hotel. As he torments himself with the reality of Sarah's new life, he finds relief when flirting with Rachel (Mila Kunis), a beautiful resort employee whose laid-back approach tempts him to rejoin the world.

Thanks to Temple's MCPB I got a chance to view Forgetting Sarah Marshall at a free screening last night. The movie is just funny. The producer, Judd Apatow, does it again. (He produced Superbad, Knocked Up, The 40 Year Old Virgin, etc.) I like his work and didn't really notice tell I looked him up for this post. From the beginning to the end, just good comedy. The writer and star, Jason Sigel, is successful wearing both hats in this romantic comedy. It's a true (and exaggerated) depiction of the break-up we've all been through and that's why it's good. There's something about tall weird (not really handsome) white dudes that's funny (Will Farrel, Vince Vaughn).

Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars), who plays Sarah Marshall, is the dumb person that we have all been in a relationship with and try to "forget". Mila Kunis (That 70's Show), is the sweet and beautiful lady at the front desk that we wish we met on vacation that understands us and that we fall in love with. This movie acknowledges the awkwardness of break-ups, displays our story ending and makes us laugh (sometimes too loud, lol) throughout. i really like this movie and would pay to see it and maybe even get the DVD. Go see it. it hits theaters April 18. Rating: 5 BlackClouds (lol)

*Rating: 1 BlackCloud - Shouldn't even get the bootleg, 2 BlackClouds - Poor multiple levels, 3 BlackClouds - Had potential to be really good.. not quite there, 4 Blacklouds - Solid movie.. go see, 5 BlackClouds - Good enough to pay for you and your dat
