Forgetting Sarah Marshall
“Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) is the ultimate ‘breakup comedy,’ starring Jason Segel as Peter, a man who heads to Hawaii to get over his TV-star ex-girlfriend, only to find her staying at the same resort with her new boyfriend, the eccentric rock star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand). The film is packed with cringe-worthy humor, from Peter’s naked breakup scene to his attempt at a ‘Dracula-themed’ puppet musical. Mila Kunis provides the perfect foil as the down-to-earth hotel clerk who helps him move on. The movie balances genuine heartbreak with absurd comedy, featuring a great supporting cast including Bill Hader, Paul Rudd as a surf instructor who doesn’t know how old he is, and Jonah Hill as an obsessive fan. It’s a sweet, relatable, and hilarious look at the messiness of relationships and the importance of finding yourself again after a devastating loss.”
Forgetting Sarah Marshall made us laugh at heartbreak and want to see a puppet opera… but next, we join a group of survivors in a world where the most important rule is ‘cardio.’
