JD's Review: Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

You know, I have been wanting to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall since I saw the trailer some time ago, but I just couldn't find the time to go watch it. Finally, I got a copy of the flick and popped it in, and sat down to delve into almost two hours of hilarity.

I wasn't dissapointed. Despite the fact that there is one (or four) time(s) you see male-frontal-nudity (all Jason Segal mind you) it's one of the best comedies I've seen in a good long time. In the same vein as Knocked Up and 40 Year Old Virgin it's crude comedy at it's finest. Kristen Bell is gorgeous, but Mila Kunis is even hotter.

The story follows a TV show composer who works for the show that his girlfriend Sarah Marshall (Bell) works for. He basically does the music that plays over the serious points in the flick. One would say they're ominous. He gets a call from Sarah saying they need to talk, and he gets out of the shower sees her there, and she breaks up with him. Which creates the hilarity (in all honesty), because everyone deals with a break up their own way. Whether it be wallowing in self-pity, or getting so drunk you stick your dick in anything with a pulse (preferably female). Jason Segals character Peter does not take this break up well and decides he needs to go on a vacation to Hawaii.

He gets to Hawaii and who is there, but his ex-girlfriend TV-star Sarah Marshall with her new Boyfriend Rockstar Aldous Snow.

I could go on, but you get the drift. You throw in the temptable Mila Kunis as Jason Segal's new love interest and the story could go in a number of different directions. Is the movie predictable? Yes, it is, but it's still laugh out loud hilarious.

And the end? Holy fucking Christ, I was dying. Let me put it to you this way:


Now, that is not the end, it's just something that gets furthered along in the end of the flick, but definitely see this flick if you can, it's well worth the price of a dvd, or a rental, or whatever it is you do to watch flicks.
