Customer comments on this selection. 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... Remember Jason Segel Forgetting Sarah Marshall is Jason Segel's debut screenplay and it is fabulous. I look forward to his forthcoming work. 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 as possible, but lo & behold she and her new boyfriend are staying at the same hotel that he is! This makes for a host of awkward moments, and basically most of the humor in the film is derived from these kinds of moments that we all wish to avoid at all costs. Surprisingly, the movie does have a heart & one can't help but feeling that it's a feel-good kind of film when all is said & done. Kristen Bell and Mila Kunis are both absolutely gorgeous, but even more poignant is that they both have a screen presence and genuine acting skills. This film would have been pretty dull had these too been lame actresses. I watched the unrated version of the film & I must say that there wasn't much of "shock value" in it, other than a seeming infatuation with male nudity {which I could have done w/out}. It was disappointing that it had a great many opportunities for female nudity, but declined to pursue it almost every time. In that view, it was a bit of a "teaser" movie. All in all, this was a film that was both trenchant and very funny at the same time. The breakup reminded me of a woman in my life who pulled the plug 4 years ago now, and yet I still can't get my mind off of her. Hence, watching a poor fellow turn into a basket case after he's dumped by his g/f is rather cathartic - and oh so relatable. You just might feel the same way! 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 declaimer on the unrated stating there may be problems with playback!? I will have to watch that version and add to this review. The film is worth seeing, but it will leave your memory faster than saying Forgetting Sarah Marshall! The DVD has some interesting extras, deleted scene, etc. and the DVD transfer looks very good. 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.
