Last weekend Kim and I rented the comedy the Forgetting Sarah Marshall which is a story about a guy who has troubled getting over the breakup with his long time celebrity girlfriend.
I expected the typical gross out & idiot gaffes of most comedies these days, so I was pleasantly surprised when the movie turned out to be much more entertaining. Most of the funniest moments are courtesy of supporting actor Russell Brand as the new boyfriend Aldous Snow, but all the characters were amusing.
What was most unexpected was that the titular character, Sarah Marshall played by Kristen Bell, turned out to be a reasonably sympathetic and multi-dimensional character, and not a typical comedy "evil bitch".
Overall I really enjoyed the movie despite feeling like the pace was a little slow at times. This reviewer gives it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
