Movie Review: Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Movie Review: Forgetting Sarah Marshall
CS Rating: Apatow does it again!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800039/

How could anyone forget Sarah Marshall? She's the hot one from Heroes and the excellent TV Series shamelessly axed for no good reason, Veronica Mars.

If your from the school of Apatow (Knocked Up, SuperBad, 40 Year Old Virgin) you gonna see this movie anyways. If your fan you certainly wont be disappointed. If you’re not so much a fan, this may just be the movie to convert you over to the Apatow invasion of all comedy coming outta of Hollywood these days. If you can’t believe that, then it’s worth checking out this movie for Mila Kunis (70’s Show) who looks so hot in this movie, it’s hard to care about plot or anything.

TV Show composer Peter, Jason Segal( How I met your Mother) is dumped by the delicious Sarah Marshall, Kristen Bell, a CSI –type TV Star, who upgrades her slobby muso boyfriend for cool British Rocker, Aldous Snow, the British comedian Russell Brand. Peter can’t forget Sarah Marshall and who can blame the guy? He heads to Hawaii, in an effort to put his life back together, but of course Sarah and cool Aldous are on holiday there, in the same hotel.

Luckily, hotel receptionist, Rachel, Mila Kunis, provides sympathy for Peter and the romance ensues. Apatow’s motley crew of Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill and Bill Hader are all here to crank up the comedy and all deliver.

A lot smarter than 40 Year Old and Knocked Up, but still stuffed with situations that even the most hard to please will at least smile for some scenes. Perhaps the only missing ingredient is some of that tenderness that made SuperBad so good. This is only a small gripe, as the sight of Kunis and Bell more than make up. As a Brit, it was also good to see the talents of Russell Brand, a Brit comedy superstar, being unleashed on an unsuspecting American public, Jonah Hill’s take on a British accent for me made up the price of the ticket alone!!
