Movie review: ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’
(3 1/2 stars)
Let’s dispense with the preliminaries: Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a hilarious movie, a brilliant deconstruction of the romantic comedy, a film that, assuming you have the appropriate sense of humor, will make you laugh out loud again and again. 
Just so you know, “appropriate sense of humor” in this case means that you find raunchy jokes, wacky sex scenes and the sight of a grown man completely naked as his girlfriend breaks up with him funny.
And if you don’t? See it anyway. Afterward, you will. It’s the Superbad of chick flicks, and that’s high praise, indeed.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is the latest film from the Judd Apatow team, and it’s a fantastic return to form after such near-misses as Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and whiffs like Drillbit Taylor. It stars Jason Segel, who also wrote the script, and like the best Apatow-produced projects, Segel layers on the raunch over a strong foundation of real feeling - in this case, heartbreak.
That comes by way of Sarah (Kristen Bell), the star of a CSI-like TV show, who dumps her beau, Peter (Segel).
To get over Sarah dumping him, Peter first tries meaningless sex and booze. That doesn’t do the trick, so, at the behest of his pal Brian (Bill Hader), Peter heads for a resort in Hawaii.
There he finds Sarah, with her new boyfriend, self-absorbed rock star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand), staying at the same resort.
From there, it’s mostly Peter trying to get over Sarah.
Indeed, Peter might want to forget Sarah Marshall. But you won’t. R.
