5 Reasons to rent Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Devastated after breaking up with his world famous girlfriend, Peter (Jason Segel) decides to take time off composing musical scores for television shows and takes a solo vacation in Hawaii.  Unfortunately, his ex Sarah (Kristin Bell) is also vacationing with her new rock-star boyfriend in the very hotel in which Peter is staying.  Peter tries to cope by finding solace and friendship in the hotel staff and guests, especially by spending time with the hotel concierge, Rachel (Mila Kunis).  Rated R due to nudity and strong language.  

As for why this is worth at least a rental:
5. The movie was produced by Judd Apatow, who brought movies such as 40 year old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad, and Pineapple Express to the big screen.

4. Jason Segel wrote and stars in the movie.  He doesn't have the slightest problem in making himself seem hysterically pathetic. (warning: the man is also not afraid to show off his junk)

3. Dracula: the puppet musical...

2. The supporting cast is fantastic! Paul Rudd (Anchorman), Bill Hader (Superbad), Jonah Hill (Superbad),  and Jack McBrayer (Kenneth from 30 Rock) all have laugh out loud parts in the movie.

1. Mila Kunis And Kristin Bell dressed bikinis all movie long!  What more do you need to enjoy the movie?
Grade: A
