5.0 out of 5 stars we were surprised November 15, 2008
By Gregory P. Carrier
Format:DVD
My wife and I took a chance on this and rented it when we couldn't find anything else. We haven't seen any other Apatow films -- they all looked a little too adolescent for our tastes. We had read some good reviews of this, though, so we gave it a shot. It was a real surprise -- very clever, well-written, and genuinely funny. Great cast, and all give excellent performances. Lots of real talent went into this. A very enjoyable movie.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth it in the end June 8, 2009
By Davewise
Format:Blu-ray
Partway through this movie I was tempted to stop it, but I'm glad I didn't. This is a movie that starts good, has a wandering middle section, but a strong, satisfying finish. The story is one most people can relate to - a guy gets dumped, tries to forget his ex but can't get away from her, and manages to find someone else. The part where I almost gave up on it was around where Jason Segel's character was breaking down in scenes which were intended to be funny, but at times just felt sad. I enjoy comedies which include their share of drama, but these scenes felt too forced. It seemed like some of those scenes stretched on for too long or borderline-funny gags were repeated too much. The movie does still have its share of funny scenes, like most of Apatow's films.

The scenes with the Dracula puppet musical were quite funny and the ending was rather touching. I will also give the movie credit for being one of the few daring enough to include male frontal nudity. Movies have no problem with having all the violence in the world but shy away from any nudity except graphic sex scenes. Here's an example of where nudity can be used in a story without being gratuitous.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Comedy of the Year September 30, 2008
By TinyVessels
Format:DVD
The story line of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" is nothing completely new or all that complex. The movie starts off with Peter Bretter, played by Jason Segel, who ends up getting broken up by Sarah Marshall, played by Kristen Bell, his celebrity girlfriend of 5 years. I thought that I was going to see a movie that has been done a million times and will laugh at a few dirty jokes. Surprisingly enough, Jason Segel knows his way around writing and acting. For a man who has never played a lead character or written his own screenplay he was very impressive.

One thing that not everyone realizes is that the full frontal nudity scene was not in the movie just for laughs. We have him nude in the beginning because Sarah has completely stripped him of everything and she couldn't accept who he really is, his true nakedness. And if you watch the movie (I don't want to spoil it too much) you will see this motif happen again later in the film. Yes, it is very funny to see Peter standing naked while he is getting dumped, but it also served a purpose.

Throughout the film we get witty and fresh characters that continue to make us laugh. The bar tender from South Central always stirs up laughs and the Christian couple on their honeymoon will have you grabbing your sides. Not to mention the incredible character of Aldous Snow played by Russel Brand. I know many people are not a fan of Brand, but my friends and I just can't get enough of him. His amazing improv throughout the film and ridiculous attitude is all part of his humor.

If some of you are asking how it stands up to the other comedies of the year, I must say FSM trumps all.... Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars Apatow and the A-Team Do it Again April 6, 2009
By Daniel Limbach
Format:DVD
OK, so Apatow has plugged into a profitable formula for comedies, and he's staying true to his format. Where's the crime in that? His movies are funny and appeal to the broad 17-54 audience.

I thought the movie was very entertaining. All of the characters were veryt likeable on some level. There really isn't a villain in the film (Well, maybe the puppet Van Helsing). The main characters show that people are shades of grey, not black and white.

Unlike many comedies tat find it necessary to wedge in some ill-fitting hollywood "names" that ham up their minor roles, this film did not go there. The supporting cast all act within a believable space, though some are a bit of a push toward the edges (the inexperienced newlyweds) or the stereotype (the surfing instructor).

Bottom line -- this film doesn't disappoint, and leaves you feeling that no matter how bad life seems, things can always get better if you stay true to yourself and pursue a happy life. It's a nice 2-hour escape.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forgetting Sarah Marshall January 30, 2010
By SimMoon

Without a doubt, this was the funniest movie I saw in 2009. It totally ROCKED! Jason Segel's genius was a happy surprise and the cast couldn't be beat. For a very mature subject that is fun and witty, I recommend this movie to everyone who needs a good laugh.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, touching "guy-chick flick" keeps the Apatow spirit alive February 9, 2009
By Scott Schiefelbein VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
Judd Apatow's comedies ("Knocked Up," "The 40-Year Old Virgin," etc.) have taken the early 2000s by storm. His winning combination of hilarious writing and lovable schlubs - with more than a smidgen of sex and drugs - is a perfect combination for these meta, post-modern times.

Apatow may not have written or directed "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," but his fingerprints are everywhere . . . which isn't surprising because he produced the flick and it was written by, directed by, and stars several of his favorite actors. The writer-star of the picture is Jason Spegel, who plays TV composer Peter Bretter. In the first five minutes, we see Peter's Apatow-ish pathetic life - watching TV for days on end, eating gigantic bowls of sugary cereal and wearing the same old sweats every stinking day. Then tragedy enters his idyll - his actor girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell, in a terrific performance) dumps him.

After wallowing in self-pity, the movie takes off when Peter heads to Hawaii, where he checks into the same hotel where Sarah is staying with her Australian rock star boyfriend Aldous Snow (Russell Brand, hilarious). More importantly, Peter meets hotel concierge Rachel (Mila Kunis, "That 70s Show"), and she steals his heart and Ms. Kunis darn near steals the entire movie.

Indeed, if "FSM" were a weaker movie, Ms. Kunis would be all anyone would talk about - she's that good. Not only is her comic timing impeccable, she finds depths to her character that just aren't found in most comedies. But as with so many Apatow-ish flicks, virtually every character has something inspired about him or her. There are no cardboard cutouts here - not even Paul Rudd playing a stoned surf instructor....
