DVD Reviews of Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Two-Disc Unrated Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: "Unforgettable"
Summary: 4 Stars
Cheesy, yet irresistibly funny `Forgetting Sarah Marshall,' has to be one of the best comedies of the year. Much like `Knocked Up (Unrated Full Screen Edition)' or `Superbad (Rated)' from last year, the film even manages to poke fun at sleaziness and television while providing a sensitive core about relationships that never comes off as tacked on or hypocritical.
The movie's first purpose is to set up the characters and make us care about the breakup. Sarah Marshall (Kristin Bell) is the star of the TV series `Crime Scene: Scene of the Crime,' (complete with opening film clips with graphic forensic evidence, combined with its redundant title, and we know off the bat we're in for a good time). Watching `Access Hollywood' from his familiar couch, Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) sees old clips of himself with Sarah on the red carpet and other media encounters as she fielded questions.
He does the music for all the scenes in her series. An on looking director ensures he gets the right mood for every scene. Life is good for Peter Bretter. Until the day Sarah comes over to break off their five-year relationship. She finds him naked and asks him to put some clothes on, but he refuses, thinking it will prevent her from giving him the ax. In a short time, we're snickering and commiserating over Peter's loss at the same time.
Pete tries multiple relationships and sorts out advice from his brother Brian (Bill Hadett) and his wife, Liz (Liz Cackowski), but what he does makes all the difference.
Remembering that Sarah always wanted to go to Hawaii as a paradise getaway, he decides to leave her memory behind. And this is when it gets contrived, but its so well done, we forgive and forget the plot devices: She has gone to Hawaii, too, not just to the same island, but to the same hotel. She arrives with her new British boyfriend, Aldous Snow, a singing sensation. As you might expect, Peter has trouble fulfilling the main purpose of his journey, but gets easily distracted and absorbed in some informal detective work. When he has to move out of his bargain suite, he finds himself next door to the new rival couple.
At the hotel Pete finds diversion. There's solace in cocktails, food, and exercise classes. Colorful, laid back people make his journey better. There's Chuck (Paul Rudd) the surfing instructor, Matthew, the waiter (Jonah Hill `Superbad' star) who begs Greg to listen to his demo C.D., and Kemo (Taylor Wily), a native islander who keeps him socially active. But the real connection is made with the hotel's hospitality hostess, Rachel Jensen (a sweet and beautiful Mila Kunis) who gave him a slash discount on a penthouse suite in the first place.
`Forgetting Sarah Marshall' has to have some of the best comic timing provided all year. Superbly edited, flashback scenes of their relationship make us laugh while the finer points of their downfall are brought to consciousness. As a successful music man, Peter understandably yearns for something bigger. How they fit in his composition of `Dracula: The Rock Opera,' a stage musical, is masterful. Despite his melodramatic intentions, his show comes off as a puppet `The Phantom of the Opera' version of 'Dracula' if Meat Loaf penned the project. Rachel can at least appreciate his original for what it is. There's no doubt if Segel didn't play his drowning with sorrow everyman so empathetically, this movie wouldn't play out nearly as well. (He wrote the script, so he knows his part.) What in places sounds like your average TV sitcom is done with comic aces. `Forgetting Sarah Marshall' is funny, sweet, and sure-footed. And that makes a world of difference.
A J.P.'s Pick: 4*'s = Very Good
(I'd like to call this the comedy of the year, but, while I've seen several, I've yet to see `Tropic Thunder,' `Pineapple Express,' and `Burn After Reading'. So, I don't want to be premature here.)
