Not bad. - By: Five by Five, 08 Nov 2008 
Found this movie likable, but not laugh out loud funny. Still entertaining enough, butin places it was quite predictable.
The lead, Jason Segel is good as the heartbroken Peter but the best thing about this movie is Russel Brand who basically stole the show. Normally i'm not a big fan of his but I thought he was brilliant here as the sex mad rock star. He definitely made this movie worth watching & he was funny at the right moments.
A watchable & often funny movie worth watching for the hilarious supporting cast.
moderately amusing - By: Ms. F. I. Macdonald, 25 Oct 2008 
This was a long awaited film on my must watch list & I must say it was quite funny. It wasn't hilarious, well maybe Russell Brad was but apart from that the film seemed to chunter along at a rather mediocre pace but it wasn't a particularly fantastic achievement. There were a couple of supposedly 'funny' penis scenes which I didn't much care for, I didn't find them relevant, expect maybe to contribute to the uncomfortable silence that had engulfed me when I started watching the film. It's not a bad film but it didn't really do much for me.
Well Worth The Watch! - By: willow, 16 Oct 2008 
Forgetting Srah Marshall is a really funny account of one man's attempt to get over a break up with a conceited t.v actress.
As far as comedy's are concerned I'm generally not a fan, I mean movies intended to be funny generally aren't, but Forgetting Sarah Marshall manages to get a few laughs from its viewer (me at least). What's silly about the film is the lead character Peter's striking ability (at the start of the film) to pretty much have casual sex with anyone he wants, I'm not a very shallow person, but he's not that good looking & he kind of wallowsin his own pretentiousness. The movie does raise a good few laughs & original gags, but if sex jokes aren't your thing then your probably better giving this a miss.
Russell Brand gives me yet another reason to like him (it was only last month that he went way upin my ranks for dissing the Jonas Brothers). His performance is good & he plays a sex-addicted rock star to the T (maybe because the character is pretty much what Brand used to be, only with a record deal.)
If you choose to watch this film (& I sincerely recommend you do) don't expect big laughs, or a great movie, it has many flaws, but hopefully you'll be able to see past that & just enjoy it for what it is.

Disgusting, and that's not even mentioning Russell Brand... - By: D. Gaffney, 09 Oct 2008 
Disgusting, & that's not even mentioning Russell Brand. Gross Nude scenes of the lead guy; you see his naked penis several timesin full view as well as his butt, not to mention the obsene language. I turned it off after 10 minutesin disgust. Should be an 18 certificate & definitley NOT a family movie.
