Another solid comedy

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2008)

The popularity of Judd Apatow and his raunchy but hilarious comedies are on the rise! This is another funny one that is also pretty cute. Forgetting Sarah Marshall ends up a funny movie that is a worthy follow up to Superbad.
The films is about the life of Peter Bretter, played by Jeff Segel, is a struggling musician who writes the music for his girlfriend's TV show (played by Kristen Bell). One day, his girlfriend announces that she is breaking up with him for a British band vocalist. In attempt to get away from things around the house and himself that reminds him of her, he takes a vacation to Hawaii. Not only does he find Sarah and her boyfriend there, but he began his recovery by forming a relationship with Rachael (Mila Kunis).
The movie is very very funny. The comedy is a little toned down and not as vulgar and explicit as some of his other films but it definitely is not for people who don't like sex orientated comedy. The best aspect about the humor in this movie is that it does not come from only a handful of characters. All of the cast cracks very funny jokes. Like I said before, don't bother with this movie if you're not a fan of these kind of humor.
The plot is very similar to a rom com type film. The best comparison would be The 40 Year Old Virgin. So this movie can appeal to the ladies as well. With that being said, there is one warning. If you wondered why the rating box contain "Graphic Nudity" that is from the flashes of male nudity present in this film.
The ending is cute and perfect for the film. It is a nice happy ending for the film. Overall, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is another worthy comedy from Judd Apatow. Full of raunchy humor and creative characters/cast (mainly), it is a very solid laugh.
