Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Gideon24 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.
Taylor Kingston 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.
Skaterever5 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).
braddugg At times, even crap seems to be fine. As my friend Raghuveer just said, "no film is a bad film if our faculties are laid to rest". This is not a bad film either, just that we have rest our faculties. I was reluctant halfway through the film to complete this, yet I did make it to the end, coz I just wanted to see a light hearted comedy after watching those big great films. Now, even this mind needs some rest and this film gave me the much needed respite.In many terms, if I look at this from a critical perspective it is very average, be it dialogue acting or the whole theme of getting to a girlfriend, we saw this in When Harry Met Sally, and so many other films just that here, we have a different backdrop. Sarah is a TV actor and the guy Peter is trying hard to forgetting his ex girlfriend Sarah Marshall. So most of things happen for our peace here, he gets a place to stay, falls in love with a different woman, and sticks on to her. And even before this, he tries one night stands. All is so easy in this guys life it seems. So that's how easily this movie was made and yet it was made likable. May be Hawaii, the backdrop of this movie was got me into it more than anything else. And this film displays may romantic traditions of Hawaii and I loved them.Thanks guys, for making an average movie as this, coz at times, we need average stuff to find our self back. You helped me do that again. Giving you a 2/5 for the technical aspects which are certainly above average, just that I have seen such films so many.
