If you're going to be broad, go big or go home.

I can only judge if something is funny or not by how much I laugh and I never really laughed during FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL. I think I smiled at one or two parts and said, "Heh," but I never really laughed. If a movie doesn't affect me, I can still rate it highly on other merits such as originality and good writing. There really isn't anything else to recommend this movie, except for a few nice performances from Russell Brand and Mila Kunis. The humor is as broad as any mainstream comedy, but it still doesn't go far enough over the lines of acceptable taste as to be funny. It's not outrageous enough to be funny and it's not nearly smart enough to offer you anything else. A waste of time.
