Peter (Jason Segel) is a struggling musician who finds his world turned upside down when his TV celebrity girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), dumps him for a tragically hip rock star. It’s the hysterically funny look at how far one man will go to forget a girl – and all the fun he finds along the way!

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

A movie about being miserable after getting dumped! (2009-07-03)
Peter gets dumped by his girlfriend after a 5.5 year relationship, which makes him so miserable and depressed. He decides to go spend sometime in Hawaii, only to realize his ex-girlfriend is also in Hawaii with her new boyfriend, a British singer who is kind of a weirdo!
He keeps unintentionally encountering his ex-girlfriend and her new boy friend everywhere he goes in Hawaii. Eventually, he gets over her after he falls in love with the hotel receptionist.
The comedy in the movie is good, however I think it would be way funnier if it was watched in the cenima hearing the audience laughing too.
Getting dumped is hard, and getting over it is even harder.
I have a close friend of mine who got dumped recently after a 3 year relationship. He got heartbroken and is still suffering from it till today! He is lost and does not know how to get out of his misery. However, I truly believe him getting into a relationship with another girl will certainly help him forget his sad feelings, just like how to happened in this movie.
If you're tired of rehashed old movies, try this one on for fun! (2009-07-02)
I am fed up with Hollywood remaking every movie of the last 30 years with whoever the flavor of the month "hot" young actor is...there are so few ORIGINAL movies out there, and this one, although maybe a common theme (boy loses girl, boy tries to win girl back, boy gets better girl), is one of my new favorites!
Raunchy, yet funny, and while over the top, is pretty close to how most of us have felt at one time or another about a break-up...and that's what makes it great...
Not to be watched with the kids, it is great for grown-ups who are okay with a little nudity, a lot of swearing, and some very awkward sexual moments!
I will not forget Forgetting Sarah Marshall... (2009-06-30)
This movie is a great comedy whose heart is in the right place. In the same vein as Superbad and 40 Year Old Virgin this movie tackles small topics that make you laugh. Laugh a lot, I did. Written and starring by Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother), the story follows Peter (Segel) a musician that records scores for television. Peter takes a vacation to Hawaii after a devastatingly humorous breakup with his TV actress girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). Hilarity continues as Peter runs into his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend, a wildly famous raunchy british rocker, Aldous Huxley (Russell Brand) right at the front counter of the hotel. Might I mention, he is conveniently checking in with the desk clerk, Rachel Jansen (Mila Kunis). Other highlights of humor come from small but import parts from Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, a newlywed couple trying to consummate the marriage, and some of the actors playing the locals.
This movie is a must-see!!!
A Massive Piece of Studio-Financed Producer Self-Indulgence (2009-06-28)
Quite possibly one of the worst films I have ever seen in my life. I was halfway through this movie, wondering why there wasn't a single character I liked or could identify with, when I realized that Segal had somehow managed to win a bet: That he could get the Studio to finance a film with himself as the lead, send him on an extended, all-expenses-paid vacation to Hawaii, fund his expenses, indulge his adolescent sexual fantasies to simulate having sex with his favorite young, nubile actress, satisfy his fetish for nude exhibitionism, and generally glorify every bad habit he has, while somehow making himself the "hero" of the piece. This is just one more film in the current vein of taking a major male Loser and elevating him to some kind of icon via self-indulgence, lazyness, studpidity, cruelty, inept socialization and disgusting habits, giving all some kind of modern stamp of approval. Way to go, Segel...you pulled it off. I supposed you managed it because the Studio and the target audience are just the same sort of people that you are. Me? I wish I had my time back wasted on this garbage film.
Russell Brand is awesome (2009-06-17)
I thought the movie had some really funny scenes, but what made it for me was Russell Brand as Aldous Snow. Hilarious!!
