Just A Guy Thing

The next big comedy to come out of the Apatow camp has hit the silver screen running and is already being hailed as the new Superbad. So who the hell is Sarah Marshall and why are we forgetting her?

What’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall it all about?

A whiny, fame hungry actress cheats on her musician boyfriend with a nympho rock star, played by the snake-hipped lady charmer Russell Brand. The heartbroken boyfriend books a trip to a Hawaiian resort in an effort to get over his slutty ex, only to discover that the new couple are fornicating next door.

What’s good about it?

Well, it’s yet another stellar comedy from Judd Apatow, featuring the usual brilliant cameos from the Apatow gang (Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, Bill Hader). It’s actually deeper than their previous efforts and although this sounds like a step backwards from the Superbad school of comedy, it makes for a perfect date movie. If nothing else, it’s worth seeing for Kristen Bell’s numerous bikinis, arousing fake orgasm and ogling the hot chick from That 70’s Show.

What’s bad about it?

Russell Brand pretty much plays a movie version of himself so if you hate Brand, you’ll hate this. Other than that, the first half an hour has the mandatory breaking-up-is-hard-to-do jokes and way too many shots of Jason Segal’s manhood.

JAGT verdict

Another classic from Apatow. Great laughs, attractive women and fake orgasms. What more could you ask for?
