I'm so sorry I missed this movie in theaters. I literally laughed out loud throughout. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a different kind of romantic comedy. One that leads with comedy first and fulfills in the romance category with ease.
Jason Segel is a new favorite (His next film is I Love You, Man). He plays Peter, a tv composer for show called Crime Scene (A really great spoof of CSI) who is dating the shows leading lady, Sarah Marshall played by Kristen Bell. Sarah feels its time to move on from Peter and in turn crushes this poor guy. His downward spiral is so funny but very sad. His step-brother Brian, Bill Hader, convinces Peter to go on vacation to get him out of his depression. So Peter jets off to Hawaii only to find that his ex Sarah and new boyfriend Aldous, Russell Brand, are vacationing at the same resort. Peter feels he should leave but Front Desk Manager Rachel, Mila Kunis, gives him a reason to stay.
Mila Kunis stood out for me here. She impressed me beyond belief. Her acting was great. We'd only seen her in 'That 70's Show' and heard her in Family Guy as Meg but she is a stand out in the movie. Funny and sweet with a lot of charisma. There are a lot of great characters that make up this hilarious movie. Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, Jack McBrayer and Kristen Wiig all have great moments in the movie. Its not your typical gross out comedy. It rises to a level that I hope more films will try to achieve. Oh and you have to love the 'Dracula puppet musical' Fantastic stuff. Rent This: A
