DVD Reviews of Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Unrated Widescreen Edition)

DVD Review: Decent comedy that Russell Brand takes up a notch
Summary: 4 Stars

Sometimes the extras on a dvd tell much; here they reveal a huge amount of improv on many of the actors' parts, especially Rudd, Hill and the truly special Brand. I hadn't seen him before this flick, and for me he completely outshines the rest here.

The original premise is ok, if familiar, and Segel, Kunis, and Bell are good enough, if nothing new. Segel's script set himself up nicely in Hawaii, starring in his own fantasy, but it's Russell Brand who steals the show. Watching him crack up the cast and crew on the extras shows how much his vibe infected the set; he's lightning fast and adds a level of intelligence that lifts this above all the other Apatow Factory comedies except the first and still best, 40 Year Old Virgin. Brand is just plain funny to watch; his take on male arrogance is perfect, and the new agey stuff is priceless.

All in all, a good movie made near-great by a comic genius whom I can't wait to laugh at in another dozen films.

If they ever remake Withnail And I as a musical, here's the guy!

DVD Review: Jason Segel's Crying Game
Summary: 5 Stars

Writer-star Jason Segel must be a genius. He concocts a film for himself that places him in the lush Turtle Bay in Hawaii and his love interests in the flick are hotties Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell. Seriously, this is another inspired comedy from the Apatow factory that explores modern living in this case breaking up and rebounding from a relationship. I can relate because years ago I had a bad break-up with a girl I dated from work. It's painful enough and then you have to see this person every day. Learning from this I subsequently met my wife at work. As I type this I'm wearing a garish sweatshirt she got me for Christmas. All kidding aside, Segel much like Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd, who makes an appearance here, is a comic force to be reckoned with. These guys are resuscitating screen comedy as we know it. The film is also peopled with impressive up-and-comers like Bill Hader, Russell Brand, Jonah Hill, and Jack McBrayer. If you're looking for the future of film comedy look here and Segel's impressive follow-up, "I Love You, Man".

DVD Review: Great "not smart" movie.
Summary: 5 Stars

Great movie. We had rented it and decided to get if for Christmas. It's not a smart movie, it's definitely a comedy, but if you're looking for something to put a smile on your face, this is it... I would say it's a movie for 18-30ish year-olds... you might think it's just plain stupid if you're older and enjoy more intelectual/drama type movies.

DVD Review: 4 1/2 Stars
Summary: 4 Stars

I had heard so many great things about this movie but I watched it with a skeptical mind because I had never seen any of Jason Segel's previous projects in the past (mind you, that was when this movie first came out). I laughed outloud throughout the entire film. It deals with getting over a breakup (thus the name) and it does it in a funny, smart and yet emotional way. Jason Segel has great comedic timing and his supportive cast have great chemistry to bring that out, specially Mila Kunis who was outstanding in this role. If you're a fan of Jason Segel, you probably have already watched it but if you're not (or haven't heard of him like I hadn't) I recommend this movie to you.

DVD Review: Frickin Hilarious
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a hilarious movie that has a lot of great quotes in it. I think that its one of those underdog movies no one really knows about but it you want a good laugh...you should watch.

Description of Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Unrated Widescreen Edition)

Peter (Jason Segel) is a struggling musician who finds his world turned upside down when his TV celebrity girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), dumps him for a tragically hip rock star. It's the hysterically funny look at how far one man will go to forget a girl - and all the fun he finds along the way!

Breaking up is hard to do--but that doesn't mean you can't have some belly laughs about it. Forgetting Sarah Marshall provides that rare treat: a romantic comedy about breakups, that is both romantic and funny. The laughs, especially from writer-star Jason Segel, are both heartfelt and raunchy, and the film is just unexpected enough that it keeps the viewer's attention till the end. The touches of producer Judd Apatow, who's famously retooled rom-coms to appeal to guys as much as women, are woven throughout the film, but Segel's script, reportedly based on many of his own experiences, is fresh and original. And adult. Forgetting Sarah Marshall features male genitalia laffs presented in unexpected and human ways (the nude breakup scene is played for giggles but also deep poignancy), and the language and sex scenes are strictly for grownups--and rightly so. Segel's script, and his performance as Peter, show that he understands the true nature of adult re! lationships, which provides the refreshing difference between this film and some of Apatow's other crude creations. The cast is sublime; Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) plays title character Sarah, a self-absorbed actress, and Russell Brand is her new British honey who accompanies her to--what are the chances?--the exact same Hawaiian resort as Peter, who's nursing his broken heart. Mila Kunis plays Rachel, the resort employee who gives Peter a reason to hope, and Paul Rudd is the surfing instructor who gives him his own brand of heartfelt advice ("When life gives you lemons, just say 'F--- the lemons' and bail," he says cheerily). The pacing is screwball, and the absurdities fly (a "Dracula" musical puppet show, and a surprisingly lovely Hawaiian version of "Nothing Compares 2 U"). Nothing the viewer will forget any time soon.--A.T. Hurley
