I wonder if the carpet matches her pubes.

I’m back! That’s right. It’s been a solid 3 months since my last review. Where was I? What was I doing? Did I see any movies on my hiatus? The answer to all these questions is a resounding YES. What?The actual answer is, “Go fuck yourself.” I stopped writing reviews because I just did. I’ve seen quite a few movies so far this year and they’ve all been dumb as shit. Let’s face it, it’s hard to write a review about a movie that you wouldn’t recommend to your worst enemy. Plus, I never got much feedback on my reviews, so yeah, I was a little bitter. But about 20 minutes ago I saw a little gem that has made me come running back. What is this Billy G speaks of? Let’s find out. 

The latest comedic masterpiece produced by Judd “The Godfather” Apatow; Forgetting Sarah Marshall, that’s what! The setup is relatively simple. Guy gets dumped. Guy goes on vacation to forget girl. Upon arrival, sees girl there along with new guy. Hilarity ensues. Now when I say that hilarity ensues, I mean in a BIG way. The comedy of this movie is like The Ring. You can’t get away from that shit. Nor do you want to. Does that make sense? I don’t even know. It’s funny, very funny.

The movie opens with Peter Bretter (Jason Segel), a network television composer, being dumped by his girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), who happens to be the star of said T.V. show. *I must add that this breakup is done right after Peter gets out of the shower and you see his penis at least three times. AT LEAST! After wallowing in tears and fruit loops for three weeks, Peter takes his step-brothers’ (Bill Hader) advice, and retreats with his heart still in shambles to Hawaii. He’s greeted at his hotel by the unbelievably hot, perfectly tanned, attractively Russian, front desk clerk Rachel Jansen (Mila Kunis). However, he is also greeted by his ex, Sarah, and her new beau, music superstar Aldous Snow (Russell Brand). Peter spends the next week getting to know Rachel while trying to get over Sarah.

Funniest movie of 2008? So far, hell yes. I was literally laughing during the entire 112 minutes of this movie. Jason Segel gets double the kudos as he wrote this fine piece of romantic comedy gold. With special cameos ranging from Jonah Hill, Paul “God” Rudd, Billy Baldwin, Jason Bateman, Jack McBrayer and more, there’s enough funny packed in this pic to give you a six-pack from laughing so much.

Awesome date movie. Good breakup movie (if that exists). All around good time. If you’re looking for 1 or 758 laughs go see Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

8.0 out of 10.
