Who's FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL?

Judd Apatow knows men and knows what makes men laugh: penis jokes, gratuitous swearing, crotch shots, "High" humour, and anything else that would make your average teenage male roll in the streets. Apatow has brought to the forefront juvenile male humour the likes Hollywood fears. The likes that used to be reserved in the smoke-filled THC encrusted college dorm rooms of men. Except it's these very same men he focuses on who grow older and a little softer yet never truly ever grow up.

Where last year's KNOCKED UP explored man's fear of childbirth, where 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN re-introduced the world to men's honest view of sex, where SUPERBAD took us back in time to when these same men were teens, FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL is an exploration of men's perspectives on the ups and downs of love. This is a Male Chick Flick.

Jason Segel from "How I Met Your Mother" is the latest to graduate from Apatow's circle of comic Everymen and star in his own movie. He follows in the footsteps of Seth Rogan, Steve Carell, and Jonah Hill to creating an imperfect character into something inherently lovable.

The movie follows a distraught Peter (Segel) as he tries to get over his famous ex-girlfriend Sarah (Kirsten Bell) and escapes to Hawaii to get away and start over. He is supported by his good friend Brian (hilarious Bill Hader from SNL), Brian's nosy wife (Liz Cackowski), and island cutie Rachel (Mila Kunis) to help him pick up the pieces. Things go a little awry, as these comedies do, when Peter finds that Sarah has decided to go to Hawaii with her new rockstar hearthrob (brilliantly played by relative unknown Russell Brand). Things get strained and awkward at best after that...and how Judd Apatow handles these situations is what's pure gold.

There are no stand out shots that make you realize you'll remember this scene forever (Like KNOCKED UP's "birthing" scene). But there's enough one liners to make you roll in the aisles like this tid-bit: "When life gives you lemons, just say 'Fuck the lemons,' and bail."

And if Kunu, the Surfing Instructor, doesn't have you laughing at everything he says...well, then you're probably not high enough.

Crude, rude, and breaming with full frontal comedy, FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL will shock and awe you into laughing fits even after the credits roll. Don't miss it!
