NETLFLIX IT: "FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL"

I didn't expect it to be that funny (with all the "funny" movies that have been coming out lately), but Forgetting Sarah Marshall was hilarious. (Judd Apatow never seems to disappoint.)

Although all the actors are good in the film, which revolves around a heartbroken guy who travels to Hawaii to try to forget his ex, the scene stealers are definitely lead actor Jason Segel (who also wrote the script!!!), Russell Brand, and Jonah Hill.

Judd Apatow has this cool, funny buddy system thing going. He casts the same actors in several films, which is great because they are all hilarious, plus you feel a sense of nostalgia each time you see them in a movie. Hill, who you know from Superbad and other Apatow projects, had me cracking up as a desperate and emotionally
insensitive waiter. Segel, who was in Knocked Up, was perfect in this movie as the sad, rejected ex-boyfriend.

Russell Brand may be a new, and refreshing revelation to you--no one was funnier. His mastery of that unassuming British humor and smart-assedness had my boyfriend and I laughing out loud throughout the film. We replayed Aldous Snow's (Brand's character's) musical performance several times.




Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a movie that you'll definitely want to rent, and probably add to your DVD collection. It's the funny nuances throughout that will have you cracking up big time.
