Welcome to Reel People. It’s a place where, you guessed it, real people like yourselves spout off on new movie releases. It works best if you - yes, we mean you - jump into the forum link below and tell us what you think of the movie, too.

This week, we’re watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

What I Liked: It was pure unadulterated hilarity! From the opening scene to the last clip which came after some of the credits, I was laughing hysterically. So hysterically in fact, I had to plant my face into my friend’s arm on numerous occasions to not disrupt the film! How often does this happen to you at a movie anymore??? This is how you know a comedy has flat out WORKED.

Jason Segal’s character was so witty, sarcastic and let’s just say a little overly secure with his body giving a stunning leading man comedic performance. Not to discredit the performances of the female leading roles of Kristen Bell and That 70’s show star, Mila Kunis, but Segal’s performance stole the show and gave the audience a fresh take on a male’s perspective of love, cheating and dealing with relationship issues. He also brought back to the art of Puppet musicals. You will have to see the film to understand this one-but it sounds funny already doesn’t it?

What I Disliked: Not very much. With that said, this is NOT a movie for the light of heart. Only open minded, somewhat childish adults will absolutely fall in love this film. This is definitely not a film you take the kid’s to on a Sunday afternoon after church lets out. This is Friday night date night with close friends when you need a little sarcasm and bad british accents to unwind after a long work week.

Would I Recommend?: Most definitely. If you are not easily offended and you love a good comedy, this is a must see. I rarely say this, but if someone asked me to see this film in the theatre again, I would say yes at the drop of a hat. With movie prices these days, that says something about this film!

Score: 9 out of 10

What I Liked: Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a hilariously wacky comedy that follows Jason Segel, also the writer of the film, as Peter Bretter as he struggles to get over his break up with his rising television star girl friend Sara Marshall played by Kristen Bell. Segel’s script is filled with unique situations and gut busting humor.  The dialogue is very real and intelligent and you’ll find yourself shocked to see actions or emotions portrayed as realistic as you yourself have been through.  Paul Rudd is hilarious in a small role as a Surf instructor who has spent too much time in the sun, or maybe frying his brain on other things besides the sun.  Kristen Bell does a good job as the upcoming star who you sometimes really hate, and other times adore.  Mila Kunis is great as the compassionate woman helping Peter try to move on in his time of grief.  The man who steals the movie though is Russell Brand as Sara Marshall’s new English rocker boyfriend Aldous Snow.  The man is brilliantly funny. Aside from just the pains of break up and moving on, this movie has so much more going on.  Friendship, sex, relationships, Hollywood, following your dreams, and even Hawaii are all topics that are throughly played upon.

What I Disliked: Because so much is tackled, it can be overwhelming.  Perhaps it is too many topics to tackle.  It almost seems like Segel and director Nicholas Stoller couldn’t decide what story should be the main focus.  And it doesn’t seem like Peter is trying to forget Sara at all.  More like how he keeps running into his ex.  And although the film is very funny, most of the jokes are very crude and adult.  Many of them are immature including the male nudity which gets old quickly but gets replayed unnecessarily.

Would I Recommend?: If you like relationship movies and don’t mind crude adult humor you definitly need to make your way to the theater to see this.  If you are too young or are easily offended, you should definitly find something else to do opening weekend.

Score: 8 out of 10

What I Liked: The guys that brought you Knocked Up and The 40 Year Old Virgin have done it again.  I loved this movie!  Yes, there is sophomoric humor, nudity, Dracula, and a predictable plot, but it is a fun movie and you will find yourself laughing through the whole thing.

What I Disliked: The movie did run a little longer than it needed to which resulted in a very long line in the restroom when it was over.

Would I Recommend?: If you enjoyed the Knocked Up and The 40 Year Old Virgin you will this movie as well.  However, beware that there is some surprising nudity that will catch you off guard and make you laugh!

Score: 9 out of 10
