Way to kick of spring. Forgetting Sarah Marshall offers a great romantic comedy to see. This film is brought to you by the Apatow clan, with a few new additions. Jason Segel stars as love struck Peter Bretter, who is head over heels for his TV star girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). In a grand opening, Peter is dumped by his beau, while in the buff. Not quick to cover up you get a very good glance at Jason’s bod and it may be more than one person can handle, but I found it rather amusing. Way to go Jason, step out of that box and show some skin, they show enough of females, why not of males?

While grieving over the loss of his long time girlfriend, Peter decides that escaping to paradise may be the only relief for his pain. He leaves on a whim to Hawaii with no prior reservations. He arrives at a beautiful resort, where he meets an exotic girl, Rachel Jansen (Mila Kunis). After arriving at the resort he soon runs into his ex, and her now new boyfriend, who is not so new. Peter soon learns that Sarah’s boy toy is not a new boyfriend, but a companion Sarah has had around for sometime. This helps Peter in his grief process, as does his new friend Rachel. While on a beautiful island in paradise can Peter heal his heart and move on? What will his friendship with Rachel lead to?

Jason Segel has an amazing screenplay and performance. The chemistry between Jason and Mila is very steamy. You are rooting Peter on to get his life on track and to start the healing process. We have all been there, broken hearted and searching for resolve. This film takes you on that journey in a humorous manner. Compared to Apatow’s previous hits, this movie does not pale in comparison. It has the same humor and cast including Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill and Bill Hader, all who add another layer to this comical flick. This is a must see and a great comedy. Here’s to wishing for more from this great Apatow clan.
