Forgetting Sarah Marshall (** out of ****) Review By Stan Heck
**** A MUST SEE
*** Worth Watching
** Has moments
* SKIP IT
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is not a bad movie. There is a few big laugh out loud moments but on the whole its not very good. In fact the movie seems to follow a formula from the factory of Judd Apatow. This territory has been done many times before. The stars do not bring anything new to the movie. The saving grace is supporting actors Bill Hader & Jack McBrayer.
The fact is their roles are funnier then that of are hopeless lead. The story is simple. A man just broke up with his girlfriend. For a vacation he goes to a Hawaiian Resort. Unknown to him his ex girlfriend is staying at the same resort with her new boyfriend.
Now I don't see Jack McBrayer anytime soon becoming a leading man however I see him becoming a great second banana. Good things are in his future. He is already in the well written TV Comedy "30 Rock".
The movie is now famous for the full frontal nude scenes of star Jason Segel however there is some funnier moments that will not ever be talked about because of Jason's Dick. I was expecting something better. I loved "KNOCKED UP & SUPERBAD". This movie seems weak by comparison. Jason Segel however comes across like a young Brad Garrett. However Jason looks 20 years older then his co-star leading lady Kristen Bell.
This movie is not worth seeing at the movies. Rent the DVD. I am sure it will be out by August if not sooner.
