Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis)

[Foxglove]

If you know anything about this film or have read any reviews/interviews/synopses you will probably know that writer and star of the film, Jason Segel, appears naked. Full frontal naked, showing his penis in all it’s glory. The suggestion that a naked man crying having just had the love of his life (who he has been in a relationship for 5 years) leave him at the moment he stands clothe less in front of her as he suggests hot sex as being absolutely hilarious sets the tone for Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Clever this is not. Witty? Not at all. Vulgar humour is where it is at for most of the 2 hours that this films stretches to. Most, because as with far too many Hollywood films emotion, morals and a sense of doing the right thing appears to be what the big studios wants at the moment.

Segel plays Peter Bretter: the struggling slob of a musician who, having been unceremoniously dumped by his TV star girlfriend for an English rock star, flies to Hawaii to get over the break...

Going to see this tonight YEAH.

Please expand? Seemed pretty mindless American fluff to me.

His stand up is really intelligent, funny and just fucking great in general. Pretty much everything else he does is just wacky shit.

I kinda wanted to see this before I saw a clip of it on Jonathan Ross. Looks shite.

I watched Russell Brand's stand-up show on DVD in the interests of giving him a fair shout instead of just judging him on his tv work. It's fucking awful.

What's wrong with a Clockwork Orange reference?

[CHUCK LIDELOL]

Nice, I didn't even realize it was one.

[MrKASADY]

The bird out that movie is astonishing.

[Jushin Liger]

It's an excellent throwaway movie.

I don't normally like Russell Brand but I thought his comic timing in this was very good.

[Jenpot]

Here, this completely changed my mind about Russel Brand. I didn't expect to enjoy this at all.

I legit have not laughed that much in fucking ages. Brilliant movie.

Also, did I mention:

Never forgive, never forget.

There's no sex, drugs, smoking, violence, swearing or any "gross out" stuff in Napoleon Dynamite.

I saw this on Saturday night. I thought it was great. I really enjoyed it. Brand wasn't bad either. He was basically a calm version of himself with a new name. Mila Kunis was stunning and although you could see it coming, I liked the plot etc. Good times.

[McLeary]

This film really isn't dumb. Apart from when it knows it is.


I was the only one in the cinema laughing at the scenes from 'Crime Scene', the CSI/Law & Order parody that Veronica Mars is in, though. Also stick around for a couple of minutes into the credits for a Jase Bateman cameo.
