Forgetting Sarah Marshall



Forgetting Sarah Marshall, released April 18th 2008. Now on DVD and on Cinemax on DEMAND with Charter. What's better then a free movie? Its a feel good flick like all other romantic comedies, with some originality thrown in. Jason Segel as Peter showing full-frontal 3 or 4 times to be specific. While this definitly doesn't make the movie, its something funny that gave it publicity.

Here's the rundown - Peter and Sarah are together for 5 and a half years. She is the lead actress on a famous show, and Peter does the music for it. They break up. Peter is so distraught he sleeps with many women and takes the advice from his step brother to go on a vacation. Peter decides to go to Hawaii. Guess who he sees there? Sarah! and her new boyfriend, a famous singer.

Well well what will happen next!?

The rest of the movie is filled with Peter finding his inner-peace amidst drinking in the A.M, attempting to surf, going to dinners alone, and getting noise complaints about a "crying woman" in his room. The epitome of a broken heart. Somewhere along the way Peter finds interest in the hotel customer service person, Rachel (Mila Kunis.)

My favorite line of the movie is when Peter and Rachel are jumping off a cliff. Rachel goes in first and says, while Peter is scared. "Come on I can see you Vagina from here! I can see your whooo-haaa."

Overall Peter follows his newly assigned goals, realizes what he wants, and does not want, and moves on. Its a funny movie that doesn't disappoint.

Anyone else have any opinions?
