The folks that brought us The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up (two excellent and funny films) now give us Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It does not disappoint. Much like the other two films mentioned, this one gave us quite a few laughs, yet still maintained a sensitivity about it. Well done indeed. The writer of the script, Jason Segel, is also the main character, and he's willing to give 100% for his craft. In a film featuring two highly attractive women, he writes a rather large number of nude scenes...for himself. Not how some would've done it, but the rest was done so well he's forgiven...To the plot!
Peter (Segel) has just been dumped by his long-term love, Sarah. He didn't see it coming, and turns into an absolute mess, blubbering and seriously grinding on his friends nerves with his whining. The solution? For starters, it's decided he should get out of town for awhile. Get a change of scenery. Meet some new people and move on, so, off he goes to Hawaii where he very shortly runs into his ex and her new boyfriend. Turns out they're staying at the same hotel. Hilarity ensues (except this time, I'm not being sarcastic, it's actually funny). If you liked either of the two other films mentioned, I'd highly recommend this one too. If not, well, you're not likely to like this one any more.
