Theatrical report

Wow. Those guys who brought you The 40-year-old virgin and Knocked up must have really crap love lives. It must suck to be them (apart from the whole "successful Hollywood producer" thing). Especially when you're a fortysometing virgin who knocks up some drunken hottie who then dumps you for a rock star.

I don't relate to Forgetting Sarah Marshall because I'm not a loser but it's still really funny watching a loser beat himself up over being such a loser.

The comedy, romance movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall is directed by Nick Stoller and stars Jason Segal, Kristen Bell, Paul Rudd.

Theatrical report

To begin with, I was not entirely sure what to expect with this film. Myself being a pub-goer have often noticed posters in the bathrooms with a slogan similar to "My mother hates you Sarah Marshall". I'm not too sure, I barely remember which pub I saw that in. So apparently Universal thought this would be a good one to see. Some of the new faces of comedy - Jonah Hill and Jason Segel - brought a different feel to this comedy. Many of the "good" comedic films tend to have the same pattern. Boy meets girl, girl is a tramp, boy goes pear shaped, boy becomes tramp, then falls in love. And, we always tend to see the same things happen. And the men in the audience twitch, or squirm in their seats because they've all done what the leading male's doing on-screen off-screen. And, it's supposed to be funny.

It always has been and it still was in this. Except this time, he didn't portray himself as an idiot turned hunk. This time he was himself all the way through, and - I didn't take pity on him as I have for other characters in previous films - while he was always above an idiot, he didn't elevate himself to the unusual height of "wanker status" that often happens. I like that.

I feel that movies are supposed to take you away from reality for a couple of hours yet the experiences you've had in life are also supposed to help you feel what the characters feel. This happened, although I think our lead hero (Jason Segel) may have just squeaked in under the "wanker level" line. Kristen Bell was great. Believable, not too over the top and relaxed. She always appeared to be happy - don't ask for an explanation please - and that added to my enjoyment. Sadly, Mr Williams was not present in this film, but we can't always have it our way can we?
