Critic Reviews
There's a wit in Segel's writing that marks him as every bit Apatow's equal in this arena.
Read the full reviewNakedness has rarely looked so...naked. And innately, universally comic.
Read the full reviewThe cringingly wacky scenarios, offbeat characters and comic dialogue serve up a crowd-pleasing, laugh-filled experience.
Read the full reviewDeserves to ride the wave of the latest, hottest micro-trend in pictures: the romantic comedy for guys.
Read the full reviewSegel has always played more a serial monogamist than a horndog, and his earnest, self-deprecating screen persona graces the film's crudest moments with a kind of innocence.
Read the full reviewLike its hero, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a little soft around the middle, but all the more loveable for that.
Read the full reviewSolid rom com finds another Judd Apatow acolyte moving into the spotlight.
Read the full reviewA refreshingly tender treatment of love gone wrong -- we mean, for a movie that's got enough lowdown sexual content to start its own Kinsey Report.
Read the full reviewSegel makes an engaging impression throughout Forgetting Sarah Marshall, gamely making himself the butt of many jokes that involve Peter's non-macho proclivities.
Read the full reviewThe movie's big revelation, though, is Brand's Aldous, whose idiot-Lothario exterior masks a frank, accidentally wise and Yoda-like interior, and whom we grow to like more and more despite getting to better know him and his faults. The same can be said about the movie.
Read the full reviewDoes not entirely play by the established conventions of its genre. Its willingness to explore states of feeling and modes of behavior that tamer romantic comedies never go near is decidedly a virtue, though this same sense of daring and candor also exposes its limitations.

Frontal Nudity...
"It was ridiculous that they had to show frontal nudity (3x-I might add) in this movie. Since when is this ok?And the movie was not funny enough to even support that. I can not understand how this was allowed..."
A DISGUSTING PIECE OF JUNK--FORGETTING SARAH
"SAW THIS MOVIE TODAY - DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE CHECKED THIS OUT BETTER. THE MALE GUY WHO SHOWED HIS GENTIALS OFTEN NEEDS HELP- NOT ONLY IS HE FAT BUT IS NOT WELL ENDOWED AT ALL - IF ANYONE SHOULD HAVE KEPT HIS CLOTHES ON THIS GUY SHOULD - NO STORY LINE, A VERY STUPID UNINTERESTING - NON FUNNY MOVIE - JUST PLAIN DUMB. THE SARAH ACTRESS IS NO BETTER - SHE CANNOT ACT ANYWAY AND HE TRIED BUT WAS REALLY PATHETIC. REALLY WANTED TO LEAVE SLIP INTO ANOTHER SHOW OR GET MY MONEY BACK BUT I JUST SAT THERE AND SUFFERED."
very funny
"I went last nite with my boyfriend. We laughed thru the entire movie, as did most of the audience members. The plot was ok,after all it is something we all will eventually go thru (having our hearts ripped apart, in a failed relationship). The newlyweds were very funny. I guess some people on here dont have a sense of humor. Overall I would recommend it to anyone with a sense of humor over the age of 18, and definately not a first date movie."
You guys are crazy!
"I thought this was one of the funniest movies since the 40 Year Old Virgin. People should know by now that any Apatow film is going to be crude and rude. Also, the R rating should give some clue people!"
Vulgar and disgusting
"This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Besides the nudity, it was one we endured hoping it would get better. The previews made it look like a cute romantic comedy. But it was far from that. Both myself and my duaghter thought it was an all around terrible movie."
BIG WASTE OF TIME !!!
"This is a real bad and very unfunny movie.It cover's the same ground as any other summer date flick.If you want to watch a funny movie,stay home and rent"USED CARS"with kurt russell."
Funniest Movie ever!
"I loved this movie and thought it was VERY funny. The male nudity was not only funny but gave a feeling of vunerabilty to the character."
it was okay
"So i went to see this movie with my friends last weekend and some of them enjoyed it, other didn't. But anyone who believes this movie wasn't funny is obviously wrong. The nudity wasn't necessary, I'll admit that, but that doesn't mean you have to say "oh well i walked out of the room". Just turn your head if you can't stand it. Some of the jokes were weak and the plot was okay but besides the nudity and some cursing it was a pretty good movie. I recommend it."
Forgetting Sarah Marshall Is A Good Thing
"My boyfriend and I went to see this movie. We were warned about the male nudity, but wasn't told his p**** would be shown several times. The newly married couple with sex problems, that was absolutely DISGUSTING. One scene where the rock star is showing the new groom how to have sex while using large chess pieces as a prop was soo gross that I actually turned my head. HORRIBLE movie!!!"
wow
"I'm looking on this and i actually can't believe how many bad reviews this movie got. I thought this movie was really funny. Fact...not the funniest movie out there and also not the best plot line but come on people. If you cant tell from the previews that this movie is going to pay more attention to the humor than it does how effective the plot is than you guys are the idiots. Superbad in my opinion was one of the funniest movies last year. It had a pretty weak plot as well. If you liked superbad you'll prolly like this movie. If your looking for just a laughs and a good time go see this. I do warn though. Dont go see this with anybody you would feel uncomfortable with watching sex scenes and stuff like that. OH AND BTW. Its not uncomfortable when a girl shows her boobs in a movie but out of humor a guy shows his parts and its automatically offensive. Get over it people."
