Russell Brand steals this movie

Rating: 9/10 (13 November 2019)

This is a guys take on the romance genre. Peter gets dumped by Sarah, his long time girlfriend. She is an actress on a knock-off CSI show. He is the composer for the same show. Seems she had been having an affair with a rock god named Aldous Snow. Peter enters a deep state of depression. On a whim, and heavily suggested by his brother, Peter flies to Hawaii for a vacation. There he meets Rachel, a beautiful young lady, played by the unequaled Mila Kunis. Side not, he also runs into Sarah and Aldous as they happen to be on vacation at the same hotel. I know! Peter starts to develop feelings for Rachel and Sarah does not make this easy. There is a whole lot of hilarity thrown in. Jonah Hill does an excellent job as well in the small role afforded him here. This is a movie that I watch at least once a year, or when I am feeling really down, because it is that funny and good.
