Description: Join the cast of Forgetting Sarah Marshall as they dare to bare all in this Unrated Collector’s Edition filled with more laughs, more adventure and way more fun!
Peter (Jason Segel) is a struggling musician who finds his world turned upside down when his TV celebrity girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), dumps him for a tragically hip rock star. It’s the hysterically funny look at how far one man will go to forget a girl – and all the fun he finds along the way!
Amazon.com: Breaking up is hard to do--but that doesn't mean you can't have some belly laughs about it. Forgetting Sarah Marshall provides that rare treat: a romantic comedy about breakups, that is both romantic and funny. The laughs, especially from writer-star Jason Segel, are both heartfelt and raunchy, and the film is just unexpected enough that it keeps the viewer's attention till the end. The touches of producer Judd Apatow, who's famously retooled rom-coms to appeal to guys as much as women, are woven throughout the film, but Segel's script, reportedly based on many of his own experiences, is fresh and original. And adult. Forgetting Sarah Marshall features male genitalia laffs presented in unexpected and human ways (the nude breakup scene is played for giggles but also deep poignancy), and the language and sex scenes are strictly for grownups--and rightly so. Segel's script, and his performance as Peter, show that he understands the true nature of adult relationships, which provides the refreshing difference between this film and some of Apatow's other crude creations. The cast is sublime; Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) plays title character Sarah, a self-absorbed actress, and Russell Brand is her new British honey who accompanies her to--what are the chances?--the exact same Hawaiian resort as Peter, who's nursing his broken heart. Mila Kunis plays Rachel, the resort employee who gives Peter a reason to hope, and Paul Rudd is the surfing instructor who gives him his own brand of heartfelt advice ('When life gives you lemons, just say 'F--- the lemons' and bail,' he says cheerily). The pacing is screwball, and the absurdities fly (a 'Dracula' musical puppet show, and a surprisingly lovely Hawaiian version of 'Nothing Compares 2 U'). Nothing the viewer will forget any time soon.--A.T. Hurley

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Surprised by some scenes
The movie was a cute story but I was shocked that there were a couple of unexpected nude scenes which weren't really necessary. I'm no prude but come on...
Rating: - Remember Jason Segel
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is Jason Segel's debut screenplay and it is fabulous. I look forward to his forthcoming work.
Rating: - It's hard to forget sometimes....
The present film is a cross between a party movie & a Romantic comedy, and as such it has aspects of both genres. Most of the humor of the film is slapstick, while the basic outline of the plot is what you'd normally find in an RC film.
The main character in the story is going through the most hellacious break-up you could imagine. She is a movie star, so he sees her everywhere, including myriad commercials. He goes to Hawaii to try & get as far away from his problem ... Read More
Rating: - FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL IS ......FORGETTABLE!
My title is misleading, because I did enjoy this film. The cast is excellent, but the story seems familiar and a bit long for this fluff. It's a nice film with some funny moments, but it's not like it's something new.
I was happy that they did include both the theatrical and unrated versions on the same DVD release. This is a practice I hope continues, because it's more than annoying to have to figure out which version to buy.....don't movie collector's spend enough money? There is a ... Read More
Rating: - as if you would forget Sarah Marshall
..she's flippin gorgeous!! How did a fat lump like him get these magic chicks? It gives hope to us fellow fat lumps everywhere! What, it isnt true you tells me?
Russell Brand is hilarious just being himself, he probably didnt even have a script, just turned up and joined in. Anyway, liked Knocked Up and Superbad and all of those, consistently amusing and will be added to my DVD collection forthwith.
PS - Forgive the lack of apostrophes, I am giving them up for the new year. ... Read More
