Grandma and Grandpa paid us a visit this weekend, so we were able to catch a flick on Saturday night while they held down the fort. This time, the stars aligned and there was actually something we BOTH wanted to see...even better, it ended up being a great choice.'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' was a romantic comedy that had something for both me and the Mrs. The film was infused w/ the appropriate amount of immature gross-out stuff usually found in any project w/ Judd Apatow's name attached to it, but had a nice little love story written by and starring Jason Segel in the main role.
Segel is great as the jilted boyfriend and the supporting cast does an awesome job in bringing the funny as well. Especially fantastic is Russell Brand, as the new guy in the former girlfriend's life...brilliantly laid-back, oblivious and daft done up in a British accent. Kristen Bell and Mila Kunis are equally as great (and incredibly hot) in their roles as the former vs. future love interests the movie revolves around. Rounded out w/ some Apatow stalwarts in Paul Rudd, Bill Hader and Jonah Hill, it's got both the cast and script to make it the total package.
Speaking of packages, the, errr, lengths that Segel goes to in this flick for a laugh deserves some applause...you'll understand what i'm talking about 10 - 15 minutes into the flick. A great comedic precursor to the upcoming bombardment of Summer blockbuster FX pics i've been geeking out over for the past few months. Definitely recommend checking it out.
