A great comedy with some depth too

Rating: 8/10 (24 August 2009)

I went in to this movie expecting either a chick flick or a gross-out, Will Ferrell type movie. Instead, I would say it took the best of both and turned out a great flick for everyone.
The movie is a romantic comedy that even the bro's can like. Jason Segel (Peter) plays the "lazy average dude" well, showing the hurt, desires, and frustrations most guys go through in a break up. Kristen Bell (Sarah Marshall) is the TV star celebrity who didn't know what she had in her relationship till she threw it away. Mila Kunis plays the hawaiian hotel worker who eventually hits it off with Peter. She is insanely hot and plays the chill, "guy's girl" as well as I've ever seen. I hope to see her in upcoming female lead roles. Finally, Russell Brand is the hilarious British rock star who's contrasting views about women and life with Peter carry the movie well. Throw in Jonah Hill for his always- funny awkward interactions as a side character and you've got a great comedy.
It was one of those comedies where I actually found myself wondering, "How is it going to end?". Oh, and not to spoil anything but the Dracula play at the end was hilarious. I heard Jason Segel really wrote that song.
Overall, a great movie for men and women to enjoy. Lots of laughs and a well-written storyline. 8/10.
