Forgetting Sarah Marshall

At first glance it seems like a film that has been done before “broken hearted flees to Hawaii” but once you get a few minutes into it you see it for what it really is, a FUNNY movie! It has Mila Kunis (Jackie from That 70’s Show, who lets face it we just don’t see enough of) to console our sad puppy played by Jason Segel who shows us he can really act by playing a totally different character than he did in “Knocked Up”.

Then there is this British fellow I have never seen before who plays Sarah Marshall’s (Kristen Bell) new rock star boyfriend. His character has the most obnoxious name “Aldos Snow” which only adds to the vast amount of humor he brings to the film, I’d like to see a hell of a lot more of Russell Brand. He has a certain “Johnny Depp” humor about him if you will and he NAILED one of his lines that sent my husband and I into a roar of laughter.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a well acted, well written down right hilarious comedy. There are just enough surprises (brought mostly by Snow in my opinion) to keep this movie cracking along. A few sweet moments toward the end that make you love the characters that little bit more and finally an ending that is not only comical but completely satisfying as a plot wrap. I say go watch it, great date film perhaps even good to watch after a break up (this is NOT a chick flick). I give it an 8/10!
