1MR: Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Grouse - As If To Prove A Point
Synopsis: When Sarah Marshall dumps aspiring musician Peter Bretter for rock star Aldous Snow, Peter's world comes crashing down. His best friend suggests that Peter should get away from everything and to fly off to Hawaii to escape all his problems. After arriving in Hawaii and meeting the beautiful Rachel Jansen, Peter is shocked to see not only Aldous Snow in Hawaii, but also Sarah Marshall. imdb
Review: I think this could be called the romantic comedy for guys, but it falls just short of being a really good movie. After a while, I went from feeling sorry for Peter to wanting to punch him in the face. A few good jokes are made throughout the movie, but not as funny as I'd hoped. Jonah Hill had a surprisingly boring performance.
Overall the movie is worth seeing, but isn't all that memorable. I especially feel that way after having only seen it two weeks ago and not being able to remember large parts of it, haha. Oh, and Mila Kunis is somehow very attractive in this movie. That is all.
Rating: Rent
