★★ Forgetting Sarah Marshall

[Twinkletoes: 2.0]

Twinkletoes says: 'So what do I do to relax from seeing 29 films is less than to weeks? I go see a movie! I have to be honest with you. I am starting to get a little tired of all the praise that seems to be heaped upon each and every one of these Apatow related movies. The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Superbad were all decent little comedies but I felt their critical praise far outweighed their merits. The same holds true for this thing. It had its moments but my problems with those other films are even more prevalent here. It seems to have that mentality that raunchy = funny, it believes that a joke that is funny once will continue to be funny, and it overstays its welcome by about 30 mintes. In addition, this particular film is quite dull for long stretches of time, the whole British rock singer character was more stupid than funny and Kristen Bell/Sarah Marshall seem hardly the type one falls to peices over.'
