Much much better than expected

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2008)

When I saw the tagline of this movie (from the people who brought you "Knocked up")I was scared... very scared... Because, I have no idea how knocked up could get such a high IMDb score and come so highly recommended. That movie is one of the worst movies I've ever seen... I was planning to skip this one until a friend told me 'unlike knocked up, forgetting sarah marshall actually IS funny'.
And he was right! Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a pretty funny romantic comedy that follows a quite standard format, but maintains to be better than the lot of them. The storyline is nice and although in some places predictable, contains enough funny and 'painfully' true moments and situations to make you laugh. You should definitely go and see it! The only big minor point about this movie is Jonah Hill's character. It's useless and not funny. He is the impersonation of knocked up trying to kill this movie... luckily he doesn't succeed!
Big thumbs up for this movie - highly recommended.
(oh and do NOT forget to never ever go and see 'knocked up' - I can't stress that enough)
