Forgetting Sarah Marshall…
Over the public holiday / long weekend, Corrie and I went and checked out the new Forgetting Sarah Marshall movie…
Written by and starring Jason Segel (Marshall – How I Met Your Mother), it’s the story of composer, Peter Bretter (Segel) doing his best to get over the break-up of his relationship with TV star Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell – Veronica Mars). He heads off on a solo holiday in Hawaii in an attempt to put the break-up behind him, only to find his ex, Sarah and her new boyfriend, Rock-star Aldous Snow (English comedian Russel Brand) staying at the same hotel. Hilarity ensues over the course of his vacation as Peter does his best to avoid the happy couple, and in the mean time falls for hotel receptionist Rachel (Mila Kunis – That ‘70s Show).
Yes, it’s a romantic comedy, but all that is hidden by the dick jokes we’ve come to expect from the guys that previously brought us Superbad, Knocked Up and The 40 Year Old Virgin.
Look out for show stealing performances from Jonah Hill (Knocked Up, Superbad) as the Aldous Snow-obsessed hotel employee, and Russel Brand who plays eccentric rocker Aldous. Also, be warned, Jason Segel spends prolonged periods of the movie naked, so be prepared for some full-frontal male nudity.
Highly Recommended.
