The Best Film of the Year

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2008)

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is by the far the best movie of 2008. There are only thirty minutes left of this year, and because of this, I felt obliged to write my one and only review of the year. Overall, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a comedy classic. The premise itself is unoriginal, revolving around a man recently dumped by his girlfriend who takes a trip to Hawaii and meets his ex-girlfriend with her new boyfriend. However, the film had me and everyone in the theater laughing out loud almost every other minute. Jason Segel, the star and writer of the show, should become a star after this wonderful comedic turn. Kristin Bell who plays Sarah Marshall is also very good in her role. However, Mila Kunis (the prettiest woman ever) and the hilarious Russel Brand are the best in the film. Another high point of the movie is the numerous characters that pop up throughout the film such as Kemo, Dwyane, Koonu, Bryan, and the newlyweds, all of whom add their own comedic touches to the film. Each line of the film is so memorable and hilarious, and no other comedy has been even comparable to it this year. The movie is vulgar and raunchy at times, but also is a sweet and touching romantic film that should please everyone. Therefore, if you have not already, go see it. I saw it twice in the movies, and I've seen it six times since then. Make sure to get the collector's edition DVD and watch the gag reel and deleted scenes. All of it is priceless. It is simply one of the best films of all time.
