December 24, 2009A HUGE step up from the overrated Knocked Up. These are the kinds of movies that guys and women both can enjoy and laugh their asses off together. Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, Bill Hader, Paul Rudd, Russell Brand...Forgetting Sarah Marshall essentially has my comedy dream team in i...( read more)

November 7, 2009Kemo: "Sarah Marshall.
Peter: Yes. How did you know I was dating Sarah Marshall?
Kemo: Dwayne told me. Chuck told me. Even Rachel told me. I heard about it from everybody. You gotta stop talking about it. It's like "The Sopranos." It's *over*. Find a new show....( read more) -

October 1, 2009Not bad, I did like Segel in it, Bell, Kunis and Brand are quite good too! It?s better than Knocked up and funnier than Superbad but still doesn't top the 40 year old virgin for me!

February 9, 2010i hate love movies
But this one was alot better than i expected. I liked it alot. -
February 7, 2010Characterisations & story being completely all over the place actually saves this from being yet another painfull romantic comedy. There is the required thoroughly unfunny rom-com humour, & tacky jokes aimed at "blokes" too, but it's balanced out by a bit of more original, border...( read more)

January 28, 2010I love Jason Segel so I was expecting this to be even better. To begin with, I don't love him so much that I have to see his naked body! Also, I think it's a bit too unlikely that they would show up at the same hotel at the same time in Hawaii. Most of all I found the female c...( read more)

January 25, 2010This movie had me cracking up from the beginning. Very very cute and sad at times. But the characters just mix together so well. Worth watching.

Pete Hammond, Hollywood.com
Although it contains plenty of producer Judd Apatow's signature raunch, it is a comedy to remember and a wryly funny, smartly written and acted story from the (broken) heart. full review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
Halfway through I realized that I'd lost most of my standards, maybe under my seat, and was enjoying the erratic evolution of the nonsense. full review

Kurt Loder, MTV
The movie would have benefited from a lot more of Russell Brand, whose surreal egocentricity and vast reserves of disdain light up every scene he's in. The man wields every great line he's given like ... full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
The cringingly wacky scenarios, offbeat characters and comic dialogue serve up a crowd-pleasing, laugh-filled experience. full review
April 18, 2008
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Like its predecessors, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a smart comedy that trades on social embarrassment and shows love from the standpoint of male insecurity. full review
April 18, 2008
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Forgetting Sarah Marshall follows the Apatow formula faithfully enough. All that's missing is charisma -- the je ne sais quois that makes us fall in love in the first place. full review
April 18, 2008
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Forgetting Sarah Marshall goes out with a whimper when you so want a bang. But until then, this so-called romantic disaster comedy is a raucous ride through one man's pain. full review
April 18, 2008
A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Forgetting Sarah Marshall does not entirely play by the established conventions of its genre.
April 17, 2008
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
While it's hardly unforgettable, the latest raunchy rom-com from prolific producer Judd Apatow is a genial timewaster. full review

"Clearly the people on Flixster are getting stupider and stupider if this film only has a 2 and a half rating."
I concur with that.
Oh, and madmac- Come on dude! Two and a half is way too low for an All-Flixster score. Take a look at Norbit; it has three and a half star, and I'm pretty sure no one with a brain in their head would prefer that piece of garbage to THIS! If they do, well I guess that just proves that Johnd's above statement isn't far from the truth! -
April 25, 2008I don't understand why people ask why the rating is so low. If people are rating it low, they didn't like it, myself included. I didn't think it was very funny, or very good. That's just my opinion.
-
April 24, 2008I was wondering the same thing, why is the rating for Sarah Marshall so low? It should definitely be higher.
