Forgetting Sarah Marshall

surfing instructor: "If you get bitten by a shark, you're not just gonna give up surfing, are you?"
Peter: "Yeah, probably."

release year: 2008
genre: comedy/drama
viewing setting: home Bluray 3/13/22 and 2/23/17 and home DVD, 4/7/12 and 11/7/08

synopsis: A likable average guy gets dumped, grieves, and then goes to Hawaii for vacation...only to find his e-girlfriend there with her new boyfriend.

impressions: This was great - a good mix of both romantic and raunchy comedy. There were several laugh-out-loud moments and it was entertaining throughout.

something this movie has that no other movie has: __

acting: Jason Segel is dorky Peter, who just can't move on. Kristen Bell is Sarah, who is emotionally unstable. Mila Kunis is Rachel, who could be the new woman in Peter's life if he doesn't screw it up. Russell Brand is Aldous, an outrageous British rock star and Sarah's new beau.

final word: Good R-rated romantic comedy.
