Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

After a failed attempt to go to the movies Friday, we finally made it on Saturday although the theater was packed almost to capacity half an hour before the movie making it a little difficult to find a seat. Anyway, the movie was super fun but I love Apatow movies. This one is supposed to be his more "girl-friendly" movie. It is a bit calmer in terms of gross-out scenes but it doesn't hold back on the sex jokes or full-frontal shots of Jason Segel. It's your basic romantic comedy plot--boy and girl are together, girl leaves boy for another boy, boy has to find himself in order to love again--but the comedy used to reach those plot points is super fun. The only thing I could have done without is the scene between Kristen Bell and Jason Segel in which she tells him why she left him . . . . too much seriousness. It's a definite must-see, another Apatow triumph.
