Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

Jason Segel is trying to forget his girlfriend who breaks up with him at the very beginning of the flick and forgetting her is what he actually endeavours in the entire movie. Although it isn’t as easy as it seems. Every time he tries to get away from her he deliberately ends up getting close to her.

The movie is a comedy and of course a romantic one with a great star cast (most of them are my favourites). Who doesn’t love Russell Brand and wait he shows up as Aldous Snow the psychotic singer who is the current boyfriend of Kristen Bell. Mila Kunis is a receptionist at Hawaii where Jason Segel goes to mend his broken heart and ends up finding his girlfriend with Aldous Snow, (although I’m pretty sure that was an intentional attempt too). Mila Kunis aids him at the time of need which grabs the attention of Jason who finds her attractive and caring. She dates him (so he says) and starts liking her although he isn’t able to move on as Sarah shows up every now and then. This however causes some tension between Mila and Jason which leaves a miffed Mila eventually. Now it is the job of Jason to move on, stop thinking about his ex and make matters straight with Mila Kunis who is in deeply in love with him.

The movie has some great characters like Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd etc. who added flavour to the comedy.

I personally like Jason Segel for his acting and he happens to be one of my favourite actors for the character Marshall Eriksen the one he plays in ‘How I met your mother’. I have seen him act in a couple of movies and I must say I am pretty impressed with his comedy. He came up with such a wonderful story (yep he wrote it) and that in itself is a bravado.

Forgetting Sarah Marshal wouldn’t disappoint you at all. It is a real good movie and you wouldn’t stop laughing as the entire movie rolls on with fun written in every clip.
