Plot: In desperate need of a vacation after being unceremoniously dumped by his TV-star girlfriend, a man travels to a lavish Hawaiian resort to nurse his wounds and forget his heartache, only to discover that his ex and her handsome new boyfriend are currently staying at the exact same island hot spot. Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) may be just another struggling musician, but for the past six years he's been dating Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), one of the hottest stars on television. Sarah is everything in the world to Peter, so when she kindly but firmly tells him that they should each go their separate ways, he is absolutely devastated. Later, after attempting to salvage his ego by awkwardly attempting to become a womanizer and nearly losing his job because of a nervous breakdown, an emotionally fragile Peter attempts to put the past behind him by escaping to the sun-soaked beaches of Oahu. While at first it seems as if Peter has discovered the perfect prescription for a bad case of lost love, his plan soon turns to dust when Sarah and her new rock-star boyfriend, Aldous (Russell Brand), turn up at the exact same resort. Though accepting Sarah's lavish new lifestyle won't be easy for the crestfallen Peter, the laid-back companionship of flirtatious resort employee Rachel (Mila Kunis) -- not to mention a continuous regimen of fruity cocktails -- goes a long way in mending the wounds of a broken heart. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was penned by Segel and produced by Judd Apatow. Fun with Dick and Jane screenwriter Nicholas Stoller makes his directorial debut. The cast also includes Paul Rudd, Bill Hader, Jack McBrayer, and Jonah Hill. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Without a doubt, this was the funniest movie I saw in 2009. It totally ROCKED! Jason Segel's genius was a happy surprise and the cast couldn't be beat. For a very mature subject that is fun and witty, I recommend this movie to everyone who needs a good laugh.

Decent comedy that Russell Brand takes up a notch
Added 1/12/2010

Sometimes the extras on a dvd tell much; here they reveal a huge amount of improv on many of the actors' parts, especially Rudd, Hill and the truly special Brand. I hadn't seen him before this flick, and for me he completely outshines the rest here.

The original premise is ok, if familiar, and Segel, Kunis, and Bell are good enough, if nothing new. Segel's script set himself up nicely in Hawaii, starring in his own fantasy, but it's Russell Brand who steals the show. Watching him crack up the cast and crew on the extras shows how much his vibe infected the set; he's lightning fast and adds a level of intelligence that lifts this above all the other Apatow Factory comedies except the first and still best, 40 Year Old Virgin. Brand is just plain funny to watch; his take on male arrogance is perfect, and the new agey stuff is priceless.

All in all, a good movie made near-great by a comic genius whom I can't wait to laugh at in another dozen films.

If they ever remake Withnail And I as a musical, here's the guy!

Jason Segel's Crying Game
Added 1/2/2010

Writer-star Jason Segel must be a genius. He concocts a film for himself that places him in the lush Turtle Bay in Hawaii and his love interests in the flick are hotties Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell. Seriously, this is another inspired comedy from the Apatow factory that explores modern living in this case breaking up and rebounding from a relationship. I can relate because years ago I had a bad break-up with a girl I dated from work. It's painful enough and then you have to see this person every day. Learning from this I subsequently met my wife at work. As I type this I'm wearing a garish sweatshirt she got me for Christmas. All kidding aside, Segel much like Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd, who makes an appearance here, is a comic force to be reckoned with. These guys are resuscitating screen comedy as we know it. The film is also peopled with impressive up-and-comers like Bill Hader, Russell Brand, Jonah Hill, and Jack McBrayer. If you're looking for the future of film comedy look here and Segel's impressive follow-up, "I Love You, Man".
