Forgetting Sarah Marshall
A Comedy About Getting Dumped And Taking It Like A Man
Struggling musician Peter Bretter has spent six years idolizing his girlfriend, television star Sarah Marshall. He's the guy left holding her purse in paparazzi photos and accidently omitted from acceptance award speeches. But his world is rocked when she dumps him and Peter finds himself alone. After an unsuccessful bout of womanizing and an on-the-job nervous breakdown, he sees that not having Sarah may just ruin his life.
To clear his head, Peter takes an impulsive trip to Oahu, where he is confronted by his worst nightmare: his ex and her tragically hip new British-rocker boyfriend, Aldous, are sharing his hotel!
Critic Reviews:
- " One could easily put forth the argument that it's actually the supporting players who elevate Forgetting Sarah Marshall to such delightful heights. " – Richard Propes
- " Russell Brand is, for once, well cast in the role of vague, vain singer Aldous, who's also the object of obsession for a waiter and aspiring musician in the Hawaiian resort. " – Anna Smith
- " A film that manages to balance raunch and sweetness just enough to make it a worthy date movie. " – Micheal Compton
