There is nothing quite like the joy of having a movie be pretty hyped up only to watch it and still have it blow you away. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is one of the best comedies I've seen in quite a while. It's hilarious, there's wonderful character building with characters that feel legitimately human and natural. I was genuinely astounded by the depth these characters have, especially given how one dimensional they would normally be in movies like this. It's beautifully shot, Hawaii really highlighted here. I watched the unrated version and, this is going to sound weird, but as a straight male I really appreciated the amount of penis in this movie, given how lopsided that usually is in Hollywood. It also pulls a magic trick of moviemaking by having tons of familiar faces and excellent talent here and yet they all feel like they just fit rather than being a string of nonsense cameos.

This is a strong recommend for me. I think anyone looking for a solid comedy and doesn't mind some crassness and sexuality will get an absolute kick out of this. Absolutely worth seeking out and enjoying.
