Segel, Rudd, Hill, Hader, McBrayder, Brand... and a little bit of Bateman.

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 2009)

'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' is another Judd Apatow produced comedy with a roundabout of the same humor. Better then '40-Year Old Virgin', worse than 'Superbad' this stars Jason Segel (surprisingly good) as a guy who's desperately heartbroken after a break-up and needs to refresh his whole life, and so he decides to go to Hawaii to seek out new interest. Now, I never go into a comedy with high hopes, because I always end up disappointed - luckily, with this I got myself a good laugh. It's standard procedure sure, and the film does lend heavily on the romantic button at several occasions, but still there's lots to laugh at when mentioned Segel, Russell Brand, Bill Hader, Jack McBrayer, Paul Rudd and Jonah Hill (and even Jason Bateman in a small role) go together on the screen. Now note that the two female characters of any importance, played out by Kristen Bell and the sweet Mila Kunis, does only provide positively for the issues regarding romance, and not for the issues regarding comedy or mildly affecting drama, note: mildly. 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' delivers breezy goods and never goes feverishly stupid, it's slight, light and fine fun.
