Really surprisingly great!

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2008)

A genuinely funny comedy, I went in to the film feeling slightly unsure, despite being a huge fan of some of the actors involved, but all of my fears were completely cleared away within the first 10 minutes. It's a very solid film with huge laughs and few weak moments. I fell in love with all of the characters, I cared about them very genuine, lovable and 3D. I was never bored and I was actually in pain from laughing. Russell Brand is particularly good playing the dippy drug addled over sexed rock star, Kristen Bell was perfectly cast as Sarah Marshall and writer/actor Jason Segel was absaloutly wonderful, his performance made the film. The ending was heart warming (if slightly predictable)without being to sickly sweet. It was the best comedy I've seen in a long long time
