Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Another enjoyable comedy from Judd Apatow, plus my favorite actors from TV series: HIMYM's Marshall (Jason Segel), VM's Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell). I was captivated by the character of Aldous Snow – Sarah's new boyfriend and extravagant singer, played brilliantly by Russell Brand. (03/08/2009)

If any hope was born among comedians, then it is Jason Segel. Not only did he write the script for this film, but he also played the lead role, showed his own naturalness and, above all, made me laugh. This person already captivated me in the series "How I Met Your Mother", was the only bright spot in the film "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", and he even managed to succeed on the big screen with "The Muppets". "The Five-Year Engagement" is an incredibly entertaining film that does not rely on awkward toilet humor, but on humor that is sometimes truly clever, although there is quite a bit of less noble humor as well. I can recommend "The Five-Year Engagement" to anyone who enjoys interesting comedies, good actors, and dislikes awkwardness. Speaking of which, the impression from the film was similar to the subsequent film that I had the pleasure of seeing. That film was "Bridesmaids".

It seemed almost impossible to convince me with any arguments about anything labeled Appatowa, Rogen, or Hilla. After the very bad Zbouchnutá and only melancholically average Superbad, I received a carefully polished surprise this time, wrapped in an authentic romantic comedy. Of course, I'm not hiding the sexual exercise with chess figures, a gallery of nude photos, or, last but not least, the royal scepter of the main character in all its glory. But thanks to Segel's screenplay, everything can be seasoned however much you want, and I still see mainly sharp wit, romance, and to my enormous surprise, a few life truths that no one can take away from us. It will probably never work out so ideally for this broad group of vulgar, sexist, and horny modern idols. That's why I'll keep this little treasure for myself. (14/08/2008)

I don't usually have high expectations for romantic comedies, so I'm pleasantly surprised whenever one manages to captivate me. Jason Segel did a decent job as the writer and main protagonist, although there were moments when I saw too much of him. His portrayal of Peter's misery was hilarious, and the predictable plot of this romantic comedy didn't strike me as silly, which was a welcome departure from the standard. Even Mila Kunis was okay. It was quite a relaxed movie that gave me a few chuckles, keeping me entertained without resorting to cringe-worthy jokes, with only a few exceptions. I even found myself forgiving the creators for some traditional clichés as the movie put me in a really good mood. / Lesson learned: Feeling down? Consider going diving with sharks. (12/07/2022)

There have been a bit too many sharply intelligent and witty comedies lately, perhaps it wouldn't hurt to reduce the amount of gritty reality and give the audience a bit of emotions, as not everyone enjoys seeing a naked Jason Segel, who looks like he has been eating sausages washed down with powerful gulps of beer for the past few years. Mila Kunis saves a lot, her genuine character is flawless. The rest is not worth mentioning. “Reality” without any distinctive trademarks. Boring. (08/10/2008)
