Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Dir: Nicholas Stoller
2008

Jason Segel's Forgetting Sarah Marshall (directed by Nicholas Stoller and produced by Judd Apatow) isn't bad, I did like Segel in it, he is instantly likable but he has written better (funnier) stories than this. Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis and Russel Brand are all good in their performances and the likes of Paul Rudd, Jason Bateman and Jonah Hill provide the laughs in their supporting roles but it really is the lighter side of what you'd expect from an Apatow comedy. It's as good as Knocked up and in my opinion funnier than Superbad but still doesn't top the 40 year old virgin for me. Of all the Apatow films made in the late 2000s, this is the one that gets a sequel?
