Plot Summary
From the guys that brought you The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up, comes “One of the funniest, damn movies I’ve ever seen!” (Richard Roeper, At the Movies with Ebert & Roeper). 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!

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Forgetting Sarah Marshall goes out with a whimper when you so want a bang. But until then, this so-called romantic disaster comedy is a raucous ride through one man's pain.
Fresh: This is a fairly low-keyed comedy, but a grown-up dropping in on it can appreciate its lack of frenzy, its fundamental good nature, as easily as its core audience will. It isn't exactly a gem, but as zircons go, it'll do.
Fresh: The cringingly wacky scenarios, offbeat characters and comic dialogue serve up a crowd-pleasing, laugh-filled experience.
Rotten: Forgetting Sarah Marshall follows the Apatow formula faithfully enough. All that's missing is charisma -- the je ne sais quois that makes us fall in love in the first place.
Customer Reviews
One of the finest Apatow Productions
If you can forgive the unlikely premise, there's a fantastic, funny romantic comedy here. And I know the term "romantic comedy" has come to be synonymous with "chick flick", but it's not. The humor's raunchy and omnipotent, the characters three-dimensional and lovable, their interactions believable. Definitely one to own. Saw this in the theatre, and everyone was cracking up. Except for the crying baby. Yeah, someone brought a baby to the screening. I'm sure she'll like it more when she's older.
One of the best comedies ever
I always knew I would love this movie based on the trailers and the fact that Kristen Bell starred in it, but it was so much better than I ever would have anticipated. The entire cast is brilliantly funny, and the whole movie is hilarious. Not to mention it has a good, entertaining plot as well. And might I mention that Mila Kunis is amazing?! My advice: buy it. You should just get the 3-disc collector's edition, since it comes with both the theatrical, unrated, and a digital copy of the movie for your iPod.
GREAT
One of the GREATEST MOVIES EVER. If you disagree get yourself checked for an STD.
