The new dating comedy "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" has audiences screaming with laughter
News of this dating comedy has already spread by word of mouth. There is quite a bit of nudity in this film but it only serves to shock audiences into laughing. Most of the flashing is done by star Jason Segel.
"Forgetting Sarah Marshall" is a film by budding director Nicholas Stoller. The producer of this movie, Judd Apatow, has produced hits like, "Knocked Up," "The 40 Year Old Virgin," "Superbad," and "Anchorman."
Most of Apatow's movies are signified by their in depth attention to characters. There are really no evil characters in his movies, with most of them ending up being sympathetic in some way by the end of the movie.
The movie is based around Peter Bretter, who composes music for TV shows. He has a supposed girlfriend Sarah Marshall. Peter does everything for Sarah, and she dumps him anyway, for a posh British rocker. To get over the break-up Peter escapes to Hawaii, where he meets the couple on their honeymoon. He stays, but is miserable. At the end he meets a waitress at the resort and makes quite a few new friends.
This comedy is most appropriate for adults. It is not the typical dating-movie, but it has all the elements that make these kinds of movies what they are. So far, it has left audiences wiping away tears of laughter.
