“Forgetting Sarah Marshall” has a
pretty straight-forward storyline � guy (Jason Segel of Knocked Up)
is dumped by his superstar girlfriend (Kristen Bell), guy goes to
Hawaii to get over her, guy bumps into girlfriend and her new
screw-loose boyfriend (Russell Brand) whilst there, guy ends up
falling for local island girl (Mila Kunis of “That 70s Show”) �
and in anyone else’s hands, it could’ve easily turned out like
any other romantic comedy that follows a similar storyline (like,
say, for instance, the recent Farrelly Brothers’ comedy “The
Heartbreak Kid” � which blew!) � not especially funny, kinda
lazy and as predictable as powder near water. And, to be fair, “Sarah
Marshall” does suffer from the common discrepancies in a few spots
� it’s a little conventional towards the end, the tone’s a bit
messy in a couple of spots, and none of the characters are especially
very redeemable.

Having said that, you will laugh your
ass off for a good hour of it �if not more - because of the
divine performances (everyone in the film is absolutely terrific! �
most of the Apatow regulars are here; Segel, Paul Rudd, Bill Hader,
Jonah Hill) and the stupendous writing!

Apatow and his team � Nicholas
Stoller directed this one � could probably rework “Another
Stakeout” or “The Whole Ten Yards” and make them funny �
they’re that good at what they do!

“Forgetting Sarah Marshall” isn’t
quite of the calibre of “Knocked Up”, it might not even be as
consistently funny or memorable as “Superbad”, but it’s still
another win for Apatow Productions. Bring on the next, Judd!
