Sarah Marshall Gone Wild

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2011)

The tern 'toilet humor' is often thrown around without a care of how broad it is. Outrageous, tasteless jokes can - and often are - done badly, but when the script pulls no punches, the pacing stays good and the performances are sharp, you can get quite a gem. Forgetting Sarah Marshall did this well with off-kilter jokes and a hint of oddity. But this spin- off takes it well beyond that, adding a level of insanity that elevates it even above the likes of the Hangover. In other words, if you liked that movie, you should watch this. It remains consistently demented, with Russel Brand's Aldous Snow keeping the fires burning while Jonah Hill as the blindsided intern makes the perfect hapless victim. Also worth catching for Puff Daddy as a crazy record mogul and a sequence in Vegas that is just unforgettable.
