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.

Summary: Romantic Comedy with Hilarious and Likeable Characters
Comment: Forgetting Sarah Marshall is another successful comedy in a long line of successful comedies produced by Judd Apatow (Superbad, Knocked Up, Pineapple Express). Screenwriter Nicholas Stoller directs his first film while actor Jason Segal writes. Segal of course also plays the film's main protagonist, Peter Bretter, a composer for a crime scene investigation television drama that stars his girlfriend Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). Sarah breaks up with Peter and the story begins. Segal has been around for a while on television (Freaks and Geeks, How I Met Your Mother) while also appearing in smaller roles for films (SLC Punk, Knocked Up). It is nice to see him get a feature role in a huge comedy while at the same time delivering a top-notch comedy screenplay. His talents are undeniable.

As the film goes on after Sarah breaks up with Peter, we are introduced to various characters that are both interesting and very funny. British rock star Aldous Snow is played by Russell Brand, who is probably the film's highlight for me, although Peter's married step-brother and his wife, played by Bill Hader and Liz Cackowski, are great as well. Mila Kunis stars as Peter's potential rebound girlfriend after his breakup with Sarah. All of these characters and many more conveniently and unwittingly congregate in the same vacation spot in Hawaii shortly after the break-up between Peter and Sarah.

Although I would totally work towards staying with Sarah myself, the film does a great job in making us empathize with the vulnerable and likeable character of Peter Bretter. I mean the guy is making a rock opera with puppets about Dracula. That is his passion. This is an excellent comedy with great characters and a deep cast. I definitely recommend it.

Summary: we were surprised
Comment: My wife and I took a chance on this and rented it when we couldn't find anything else. We haven't seen any other Apatow films -- they all looked a little too adolescent for our tastes. We had read some good reviews of this, though, so we gave it a shot. It was a real surprise -- very clever, well-written, and genuinely funny. Great cast, and all give excellent performances. Lots of real talent went into this. A very enjoyable movie.

Summary: awesome...
Comment: I was completely amazed I got this on the day it came out when I pre-ordered it and was very happy about it, but had one problem was that the security sticker that holds the movie together, the top one that has the title on it, had covered the display case and dvd cover so thus when I was removing it it had ripped a little, some of my DVD's have recently done that and it's getting a bit annoying...
