About two thirds though my third attempt to sit through this dross I realised it was just a rip-off of Blake Edwards' 10 - a composer runs off on holiday after breaking up with his girlfriend - but this time they cast Russell Brand as Bo Derek!
... View MoreForgetting Sarah Marshall isn't like a 10/10, but it's not horrible. Kristen bell is pretty good and funny in her starring role as Sarah Marshall. Mila kunis is alright, this isn't like the best I've seen her in, but she sufficed. Paul Rudd was annoying, didn't like him at all here. Jason Segal is good, he nailed the comedy and even some more dramatic scenes, had both down. As far as Russell Brand goes, eh, I have mixed feelings about him in this movie, at times I was laughing, then in other times I was thinking oh dear god why is this happening right now. The script and the dialogue is funny sometimes, well most of the time, it's never really bad, just had its shining moments and it's alright moments. Now I did kinda take some issue with Jason's full frontal male nudity, it was meant to be comical, but I felt more uncomfortable then amused, especially since he isn't particularly all that physically attractive (sorry :/). So yah Forgetting Sarah Marshall gets a 7/10.
... View MorePeter (Jason Segel) is a composer and a likable guy who's devastated when his girlfriend of five years, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), the star of a TV show dumps him. To breaks his depression he flies to Hawaii, but Sarah and her new beau, Aldous Snow, a promiscuous perverse English rocker (A scene stealing Russell Brand) are staying at the same resort too. This movie was my introduction to Jason Segel having never seen an episode of his TV show 'How I Met Your Mother' and now revisiting it years later, (having seen every episode of the show) I can still see why I liked his performance here even more.Every actor here does a fine job, from the Impossibly gorgeous Mila Kunis, Paul Rudd to Kristen Bell and Jonah Hill. But it is Brand who steals the movie, he is simply hilarious. It is no wonder Aldos Snow got his own spin off movie 'Get Him To The Greek'
... View MoreForgetting Sarah Marshall is hands down one of the best movies I have seen in my lifetime that some may consider short, but to me feels never ending, but i digress. Jason Segell's character is extremely likable, particularly after his hilarious yet heart wrenching nude break up scene. It really feels like the viewer them self grows with Peter as the plot develops. Mila Kunis is a mega babe as well don't even get me started. I literally have no issues with this film I absolutely loved it. Definitely would not recommend watching this movie with your kids or your mother-in-law though! Some humor may be a tad crude for some people's tastes, but other than that this film is a must watch for any fan of romantic comedies.
