Product Description
"The latest movie Produced by hit film maker Judd Apatow (40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad). Starring Jason Segal (How I Met Your Mother) and Kristin Bell (Veronica Mars) the screenplay (by Segal) tells the tale of a love sick composer of TV scores (Peter Bretter) who is dumped by his TV actress girlfriend. Peter retreats to Hawaii only to find that his ex and her rock star boyfriend (Aldous Snow, lead singer of the band Infant Sorrow) are staying at the same hotel. The hilarious cast also features several of Judd Apatow's regulars including: Jonah Hill (Superbad) Paul Rudd (Knocked Up) and Bill Hader (SNL).The music is an integral part of the film. Several key scenes involve performances by the films' characters of songs exactly as they appear on our CD including a number from the "rock opera about Dracula for puppets" that is composed by Peter.

4.0 out of 5 stars I'm a fan, April 29, 2008

By	Nathan "NJ" (Washington, USA) - See all my reviews

Not everything on this disc is something you'll want to play and play and play, but there are some gems. The particulars are the ones that are in the movie:

"Inside of you" is just hilarious. It's as funny in its full length form as it is in its abbreviated edition in the film.

"We've got to do something" almost sounds like a real Earth-day anthem.

Jason's Dracula lament is just funny... people will look at you oddly when you play it, but they'll like it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious Companion to the Movie, April 22, 2008

By	Andrew Shaffer "www.PrintisUndead.com" (Davenport, Iowa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Like other Apatow productions, the music in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" doesn't take a backseat to the action--it's integrated into the film. If you loved the movie, you'll find most of the actors' musical performances here. Russell Brand's "We've Got to do Something" is both funny and catchy, while Jason Segal's "Dracula's Lament" is one of the oddest songs ever written. We're missing the two funniest songs in the film: Jason Segal's depressing "Muppets Theme" and his original untitled composition from the last 15 minutes of the movie ("You're pathetic, Peter...").

Like any good Hawaiian soundtrack, we're also treated to Hawaiian versions of American pop hits: "More Than Words" is golden, while "Everybody Hurts" is actually more tolerable than the original. Grammy-award winning Hawaiian musician Daniel Ho contributes here under the moniker "The Coconutz". The additional tracks that round out this collection (material from Cake, Belle & Sebastian, the Bird and the Bee, and more) are pleasant but forgettable.

Incidentally, if you're looking for funky "Superbad" composer Lyle Workman's original musical score, you're out of luck. None of his compositions are included here (unless he's performing under an alias...), nor were they released separately.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Break Up Soundtrack - but overall Fun anyhow, December 26, 2008

By	Becky Rose (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

As a big fan of the movie, I purchased this soundtrack after my husband said how much he liked the Hawaiian version of "Nothing Compares to you." The entire album rocks. They deliver a solid album full of eclectic songs and mixes.

The Hawaiian songs are my favorite - "More than Words," "Nothing Compares to you," "These boots are made for Walking" and "Everybody Hurts" are all sung in Hawaiian. The emotion that resonates in these classic songs is beautiful and enchanting.

The Infant Sorrow songs are actually really good and comical simultaniously. "Inside of You" is so wrong it's hilarious, but he can actually sing. It's like those 80's songs that took themselves way too seriously, but we really love them still today.

Jason Segal's "Dracula Lemant" is awesome. Obviously straight out of the movie and it stands on it's own. "Baby" is sexy jazz, "F-Cking Boyfriend" was a pleasant surprice that sounded Cranberries-ish, and Cake delivers with "Love you Madly." All of the songs are good and the album lends itself to a daily soundtrack. Nice for parties or bbq's for background music or to listen to while working.
