Another winner from Team Apatow.

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2008)

'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' is almost certainly another classic straight from Apatow's seal of approval. It's brilliant. Gold, yet again. It takes another familiar formula, but 'Sarah Marshall' pulls it off like few could ever dream of. Laugh-out-loud funny, incredibly raunchy, but with a great story to be told. This is a must-see, and I doubt there will be a funnier film this year.
Apatow's acting troupe are clearly set for life. Whether it's a starring role or a small supporting appearance, Apatow has never faltered to remain faithful to his 'family', many of whom have been with him since the short-lived 'Freaks and Geeks'. And this time around, it's Jason Segel who gets the opportunity to showcase his talents by writing and starring in his own vehicle. Segel has absolutely no problems carrying 'Sarah Marshall', and no about qualms baring all. Literally. Segel pushes the envelope for what's allowed in an R-rating, and it's truly unforgettable. Segel, you've got nothing to be shy about.
Apatow, who produces 'Sarah Marshall', continues to set the bar for the sex comedy. Like 'The 40 Year Old Virgin', 'Knocked Up', and 'Superbad', 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' continues to restore the genre to glory by delivering nearly two hours of sustained laughter. It isn't afraid to knock down barriers rarely explored in film, and it's why these films continue to be so fresh and so enjoyable. It takes the basic ingredients and runs with it to new heights. To all those in the Apatow posse, don't stop doing your thing. Please.
Forgetting 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' will be a tough thing to do. A great film, from its penis-flopping beginning to a Dracula musical. What more could you ask for? You won't forget it anytime soon, and why would you want to? With a star-studded cast and near flawless execution, 'Sarah Marshall' is every bit as good as anything we've seen from Apatow in the past, and once again delivers something you do not want to miss. Like the film says, "God put our mouths on our heads for a reason." Well... maybe that means something else entirely, but our mouths do get quite a workout.
