Review of Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) by Spangle — 14 Mar 2016
I am not typically a fan of raunchier comedies, but Forgetting Sarah Marshall is an exception. Hilariously written, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is an endearing look at breakups that makes you laugh hysterically at times, while juxtaposing it with scenes of true emotion.
Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, Russell Brand, Mila Kunis, Paul Rudd, and Da'Vone McDonald, are all great in their respective roles. However, the writing here is the strongest part, as it manages to handle the raunchy jokes without letting the film turn into some nonsense teenage comedy.
Instead, the film is as mature as needed for the subject. Additionally, the characterization is very good. There is a good amount of depth here for each character, which is surprising given the film's genre.
Yet, each character has their own set of things that makes them tick, which is fun to watch. Overall, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a very funny, entertaining, and mature look at relationships.
