Jonah Hill and Jason Segel in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"
"Forgetting Sarah Marshall" was supposed to be too crude to love, but it defied expectations. I hate the other stuff from Judd Apatow's clique ("40-year old Virgin," "Knocked Up"), but I loved this.
Yes, there is raunchiness. Nude scenes. Plenty of dry humping. And cursing galore. But there is unexpected depth to the characters and the plot. Even the bitchy Sarah Marshall, played by Kristen Bell, turns out to be someone you can sympathize with. The British comic who plays Sarah's new boyfriend, Aldous Snow, is Russell Brand. He's an absolute scene stealer with deadpan lines like, "Well, I wanted to listen to your CD, but then I decided to just go on living my life."
The movie audience couldn't stop laughing. I couldn't blame them.
