Actor Jason Segel managed to get this funny little comedy he had written made by producer Sam Apatow and I am glad he did. Jason plays Peter Pretter a film sound score musician who gets dumped by his popular and beautiful Blonde TV drama soapie girlfriend Sarah Marshall (Kristin Bell). He is totally devastated and tries to cope by going out with his brother and having indiscriminate sex with a few women but still feels in love and attached with Sarah. He eventually decides to get away and go on vacation to Hawai and by total chance books into the same resort as Sarah and her new Boyfriend happen to be holidaying. The accidental discovery occurs at the resort reception and Peter is devastated to see Sarah with her new British Pop Star boyfriend Aldous Snow. The very beautiful resort receptionist Rachel Jansen (Mila Kunis) witnesses the unfortunate encounter and her heart immediately goes out to Peter and she books him into the resorts top suite for free and gets the resort staff to treat him really well.
The friendship between Peter and Rachel develops and he begins to discover that his depression and "Holding of the Torch" for Sarah is not really worthwhile. He also begins to discover who Sarah Marshall really is and so does Aldous.
There are many funny scenes about couples discovering their sexuality and every almost every character has their redeeming features. There are lots of male full frontal scenes which is a delightful change for us females. I think the film is a really well balanced film about the breaking up and the formation of relationships. I was a bit concerned about the fact that Sarah had been cheating on Peter with Aldous for sometime before she confessed to Peter as Aldous confesses he had genital herpes in one scene and I hope he was just joking for all concerned.
Me and the girls really enjoyed this little film and if that was Jason Segal's real bit then WOOF!!!!!!!!!
