Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008 USA Comedy)
Characters: 2
Screenplay: 4
Cinematography: 1
Emotional: 2
Overall: 2.5
This film felt different than other comedies. While some of the script writing stereotypical elements a bit far, it still left a nice fresh feeling in my mouth. Jason Segel did an great job with the writing and pacing. The jokes are well timed, and range from vulgar to funny digs. Even though the cast is filled with those known more for their TV shows, there were good performances all around.
The film starts off with shocking and memorable scenes revolving around Jason Segel and his seemingly distance star ex, but slowly unfolds to something more realistic and relate-able. The ex isn't portrayed as a complete bitch and cause of all the issues, and each character shows themselves to be more rounded than you'd expect. Jason Segel was excellent with the lead role he wrote, Mila Kunis is charismatic, Kristen Bell is crazy, but Russell Brand and his character is hilarious.
The only thing is that you don't really feel that there really could be a relationship between any of the people that were. But that certainly doesn't detract from the enjoyment of the film. A refreshingly vulgar romantic comedy.
