Review: 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

that not having Sarah may just ruin his life.
To clear his head, Peter takes an impulsive trip to Oahu, where he is confronted
by his worst nightmare: his ex and her tragically hip new British-rocker
boyfriend, Aldous (Russell Brand), are sharing his hotel. But as he torments
himself with the reality of Sarah's new life, he finds relief in a flirtation
with Rachel (Mila Kunis), a beautiful resort employee whose laid-back approach
tempts him to rejoin the world. He also finds relief in several hundred
embarrassing, fruity cocktails.
For anyone who has ever had their heart ripped out and cut into a billion pieces
comes a hilarious, heartfelt look at relationships -- featuring Paul Rudd, Jonah
Hill, Bill Hader and Jack McBrayer. Part romantic comedy, part disaster film,
"Forgetting Sarah Marshall" is the world's first romantic disaster comedy

The only chick flick we have ever liked.
It's

brilliant deconstruction of the romantic comedy, a film that, assuming
you have the appropriate sense of humor, will make you laugh out loud
again and again...more

hotel guests lounging in an inner tube and drifting in lazy
circles. It doesn’t really go anywhere...more
