Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Thanks to 'Sophie' we have been alerted to what looks to be the first official review for Judd Apatow's Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall Reviewed
Variety is the first to have a review for the film and they claim that Forgetting Sarah Marshall should stick close to Apatow tradition.
Reprising his successful "Knocked Up" formula of uninhibited bawdiness and chick-flick sweetness, with side orders of slapstick and showbiz satire, producer Judd Apatow looks to have scored another long-legged hit with "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." Crowd-pleasing confection sees the comedy auteur once again hooking up with fellow vets of cult-fave teleseries "Freaks and Geeks" and "Undeclared" -- including, in this case, director Nick Stoller and scripter-star Jason Segel -- who are perfectly in sync with his snarky romantic-comedy sensibilities. Result is a film that, like "Knocked Up," should generate repeat biz among ticketbuyers and memorable homevid sales and rentals.
There's lots of other funny stuff -- withering put-downs, nifty non sequiturs, seriocomic ravings, wisecracks that range from snappy to snappish -- in Segel's casually structured screenplay. Stoller, making his feature helming debut, keeps the pace mostly brisk, but he's also attentive to character development, particularly with two figures who, in similar comedies, might come off as entirely unlikable.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall opens to theaters on April 18th.
