I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie. It is a touch overlong and Jonah Hill kind of annoyed me with his usual schtick which I find hit and miss. That said, it is very well directed, with an engaging story and very amusing situations.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is also very well-written. As well as raunchy it is also very funny. The scenery is stunning too, and the cinematography does it justice. The soundtrack is quite beguiling also, and the performances are top notch, Jason Segal and Kristen Bell are very likable and have an easy-going chemistry and Russell Brand in his debut steals every scene he appears in.

Overall, a solid comedy that delivers on almost all levels. 8/10 Bethany Cox
