Amazon.com: Breaking up is hard to do--but that doesn't mean you can't have some belly laughs about it. Forgetting Sarah Marshall provides that rare treat: a romantic comedy about breakups, that is both romantic and funny. The laughs, especially from writer-star Jason Segel, are both heartfelt and raunchy, and the film is just unexpected enough that it keeps the viewer's attention till the end. The touches of producer Judd Apatow, who's famously retooled rom-coms to appeal to guys as much as women, are woven throughout the film, but Segel's script, reportedly based on many of his own experiences, is fresh and original. And adult. Forgetting Sarah Marshall features male genitalia laffs presented in unexpected and human ways (the nude breakup scene is played for giggles but also deep poignancy), and the language and sex scenes are strictly for grownups--and rightly so. Segel's script, and his performance as Peter, show that he understands the true nature of adult relationships, which provides the refreshing difference between this film and some of Apatow's other crude creations. The cast is sublime; Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) plays title character Sarah, a self-absorbed actress, and Russell Brand is her new British honey who accompanies her to--what are the chances?--the exact same Hawaiian resort as Peter, who's nursing his broken heart. Mila Kunis plays Rachel, the resort employee who gives Peter a reason to hope, and Paul Rudd is the surfing instructor who gives him his own brand of heartfelt advice ("When life gives you lemons, just say 'F--- the lemons' and bail," he says cheerily). The pacing is screwball, and the absurdities fly (a "Dracula" musical puppet show, and a surprisingly lovely Hawaiian version of "Nothing Compares 2 U"). Nothing the viewer will forget any time soon.--A.T. Hurley
Get to Know the Cast From Forgetting Sarah Marshall
"If I Put Clothes On It's Over" ~ Break-Up, Heartache, Romance And Vampire Love If you're looking for an extremely entertaining comedy/romance that delivers a wonderful mix of laugh out load sequences cleverly intertwined with some surprisingly poignant moments than look no further. The film you most definitely want to see is the delightful '08 release 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall'. Jason Segel is perfect in the role of poor, broken hearted Peter Bretter who has just been dumped by love interest and popular television actress Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). In an attempt to flee from his pain he jumps on a plane and flies to Hawaii only to discover his ex and her new boyfriend are also there and staying in the same hotel.
Will Peter win back the love and affection of Sarah or will he find what he is looking for in another? Maybe with the attentive and attractive girl (Mila Kunis) managing the front desk at the hotel?
This film has it all; attractive, solid cast, superior story line with lots of hilarious, quirky moments and memorable dialogue you're sure to quote again and again. The only thing I would change if I could would be seeing Jason Segel nude (TWICE). Outside of that it's thumbs up all the way!
Plot was as limp as his ... At best the plot was as limp as the star's tool. If you want to see Segel's Eagle then rent the unrated version. Otherwise if you just want a tried and true formulaic boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl plot try this movie without the full frontal male nudity.
Best comedy film and best BluRay title to date ! This release is the winner. We've got the movie , both theatrical and unrated edition (recommended to watch,of course) and IN-Movie Video Commentary (PIP) and BD-Live access and ...EXTRAS ! But not just any extras but HD extras ! Every bit of Extra-feature on this BluRay release is in HD quality !
As for the movie - i really don't need to tell you anything - don't want to spoil the experience of the unrated version - but it's really really worth watching !
The deleted / alternate scenes - are like watching another movie,i'm telling you,it's incredible Get this title ASAP , you will laugh like there's no tomorrow !
Actually, 3.5 rating is fitting I thought this movie was going to be more "laugh out loud" funny than I found it to be, but I did like it.
Although you're supposed to dislike Aldous Snow I actually really liked him. When we first meet him he's rambling on about a missing sandal so I thought he was going to be one of those over the top characters that are so annoying you HAVE to hate them. But Aldous was actually funny, intelligent and more thoughtout than to be expected.
Mila Kunis- Good job with the whole "girl is cooler than the guy" role.
Jason Segel- Not as funny as I thought he would be in comparison to his smaller roles I've seen him in. I thought the whole Dracula musical idea was funny until he said it was with muppets...
I need to B my L on somebody's T's. This movie is hilarious. Its one of those comedies you can watch a million times & never get tired of. EVERYBODY needs to watch it.
