Forgetting Sarah Marshall - GeraldRice - 10-06-2008
Wow, I'm surprised I didn't find a topic for this already. GREAT movie, unlike the typical formulaic comedy I was expecting. I don't remember any characters' names except Sarah Marshall, but it was good because almost all the characters seemed like characters rather than caricatures. The lead dude was deeply insecure and spent much of the first third of the movie crying (but there were some good jokes mixed in there too). He eventually gets over his ex for the very lovely Mila Kunis/hotel desk clerk after he pseudo-stalks Marshall's Hawaiian vacation. I don't want to go into too much, but it was great pacing, better than decent jokes and interesting characters. Only thing there was much too much penis (but even that was sort of funny).

Just googled to find out about the flick, Gerald, and found in one spot it got a solid 7.6/10 from 37,000+ voters.

Definitely worth the rent.

Ah...how can I put this delicately...this ain't one of those flicks your girlfriend won't let go of your hand while you're watching, is it?

This was a very funny movie. I loved the dracula musical at the end...I wish they would extend that into a movie or a real-life stage play.
I was surprised at how well the movie was paced. Quirky but real characters who are completely relateable. Well worth the rent...or purchase as I did. (And no...not because of the penis.)

I really loved this movie, but yes... WAY too much penis. :p

I was thinking that about the Dracula musical. All the money they put into those puppets- why not finish it off and make a full musical? I actually liked the song.
And no, Mike, you don't need to hold your lady friend's hand whilst watching.

My wife and I watched it this past weekend and really enjoyed it too. Definitely worth the two hour commitment. And Mila Kunis can actually act!
