Honestly, I did not think Judd Apatow had it in him to be involved in another comedy that would be good. So far, everything he has been involved in has been immensely funny (The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Superbad). Forgetting Sarah Marshall can be added to that list, because this is one hilarious movie. Jason Segel is very, very good as Peter, who decides to vacation in Hawaii to forget about Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell) who recently dumped him for Aldous Snow (a quirky Russell Brand). Unfortunately for him, Sarah and Aldous are holidaying at the same resort as he is. Luckily for him, he meets Rachel (a gorgeous and talented Mila Kunis) and they hit it off.

What sounds like an average romantic comedy is turned into a smart, well-paced, always funny and just plain excellent mid-year movie. It is easily one of this years best and I wish there were more comedies like this. The supporting cast were consistently funny. Paul Rudd and Jonah Hill, Apatow regulars, are gold. The movie is very quotable and most importantly, believable. The relationships all break off and build in a slow and effective way, so we are allowed to time to understand and feel sympathy for the various characters. The jokes rarely missed, for those who like their jokes raunchy, this is your movie! Overall, I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoyed the movies I listed earlier. I look forward to the next Apatow clan comedy.

4½/5
