MCT:November 5, 2008"A comedy about getting dumped, and taking it like a man."
In desperate need of a vacation after being unceremoniously dumped by his TV-star girlfriend, a man travels to a lavish Hawaiian resort to nurse his wounds and forget his heartache, only to discover that his ex and her handsome new boyfriend are currently staying at the exact same island hot spot. Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) may be just another struggling musician, but for the past six years he's been dating Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), one of the hottest stars on television. Sarah is everything in the world to Peter, so when she kindly but firmly tells him that they should each go their separate ways, he is absolutely devastated. Later, after attempting to salvage his ego by awkwardly attempting to become a womanizer and nearly losing his job because of a nervous breakdown, an emotionally fragile Peter attempts to put the past behind him by escaping to the sun-soaked beaches of Oahu. While at first it seems as if Peter has discovered the perfect prescription for a bad case of lost love, his plan soon turns to dust when Sarah and her new rock-star boyfriend, Aldous (Russell Brand), turn up at the exact same resort. Though accepting Sarah's lavish new lifestyle won't be easy for the crestfallen Peter, the laid-back companionship of flirtatious resort employee Rachel (Mila Kunis) -- not to mention a continuous regimen of fruity cocktails -- goes a long way in mending the wounds of a broken heart. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was penned by Segel and produced by Judd Apatow. Fun with Dick and Jane screenwriter Nicholas Stoller makes his directorial debut. The cast also includes Paul Rudd, Bill Hader, Jack McBrayer, and Jonah Hill.
Review
Yet another priceless gem of a comedy from the Judd Apatow posse. 'FSM' stars Jason Segel, who also wrote the screenplay, as Peter Bretter, a musical scorer in the fictional TV show "Crime Scene". He is so much in love with his celebrity girlfriend Sarah Marshall, played by Kristen Bell. All is in cloud nine until Ms. Marshall decides to dump Peter for an oddball rockstar Aldous Snow, played by Russell Brand. Being so broken hearted, he decides to take a breather and heads off to sunny Hawaii. Immediately after arriving in the hotel, he discovers that his ex-girlfriend is also taking a vacation with his oddball boyfriend in the same hotel so it only means one thing: Hawaii isn't as sunny as it used to be.
After a slightly disappointing Walk Hard, Judd Apatow and his posse easily redeems themselves in this flick. Its laugh-out-loud funny, its raucous, its wild, its what a romantic comedy should be like. The days of Harry and Sally is over, romantic comedies just took a nosedive into the land of frontal male nudity, cussing and puppet musicals about Dracula. Get used to it.
As much as I like Jason Segel's character, I'd have to say oddball rocker Aldous Snow stole the show from the lead. Oh my god, that dude is helluva funny. I can't stop laughing everytime I see his face when he's having sex with jealous Sarah, oh my god, its priceless.
Overall, a nice addition to the Judd Apatow hilarious movies of all time. Its up there with mythical legend "40 Year Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up". -

Slow getting started, but it was pretty funny after that. Russell Brand was hilarious!

MCT:December 3, 2008this was the crappiest romantic comedy I have seen...it might be romantic but its surely is not a comedy...The only part where I laughed was the puppet show at the end otherwise...just terrible...the lead guy just got on my nerves!

"Clearly the people on Flixster are getting stupider and stupider if this film only has a 2 and a half rating."
I concur with that.
Oh, and madmac- Come on dude! Two and a half is way too low for an All-Flixster score. Take a look at Norbit; it has three and a half star, and I'm pretty sure no one with a brain in their head would prefer that piece of garbage to THIS! If they do, well I guess that just proves that Johnd's above statement isn't far from the truth!posted 221 days ago -
I don't understand why people ask why the rating is so low. If people are rating it low, they didn't like it, myself included. I didn't think it was very funny, or very good. That's just my opinion.

I was wondering the same thing, why is the rating for Sarah Marshall so low? It should definitely be higher.
