Peter Bretter has spent six years idolizing his girlfriend, television star Sarah Marshall. He's the guy left holding her purse in paparazzi photos and accidentally omitted from acceptance award speeches. But his world is rocked when she dumps him and Peter finds himself alone. After an unsuccessful bout of womanizing and an on-the-job nervous breakdown, he sees that not having Sarah may just ruin his life. To clear his head, Peter takes an impulsive trip to Oahu, where he is confronted by his worst nightmare: his ex and her tragically hip new British-rocker boyfriend, Aldous, are sharing his hotel. But, as he torments himself with the reality of Sarah's new life, he finds relief in a flirtation with Rachel, a beautiful resort employee whose laid-back approach tempts him to rejoin the world. He also finds relief in several hundred embarrassing, fruity cocktails.

Time Out

Actor Jason Segel is no Adonis. We learn this from an early and already notorious scene in Forgetting Sarah...

So bad!

A Customer from London, 29th April, 2008

There was no proper plot and the story tended to be all over the place. Even Russell Brand being in the film does not save it, he just hamms up his reputation as a sexual lothario - should have gone straight to DVD or better still not been released.

So so funny!

Corinne Morgon from Ruislip, England, 27th April, 2008

A fantastic American comedy given a good old British boost with Russell Brand. Made by the guys from Knocked Up and Superbad, I knew this was going to be great - I wasn't disappointed. Fantastic film. Just see it!

Must for HIMYM fans!!!

A Customer from N. Wales, 27th April, 2008

Expecting great things when I saw Jason Segal (HIMYM) wrote this film, but I was still a bit concerned about 2 hours of Russell Brand playing...Russell Brand! Thankfully he wasn't and this film turned out to be THE movie of 2008 for me. Kristen Bell was absolutely gorgeous and the perfect choice as Sarah Marshall, Paul Rudd added his usual supporting comedy role but this time as a hot, stoned surfer dude, and Jason Segal was hiliarious and heartwarming, although warning to anyone taking their mother to see this film, he is naked. Alot. Really naked. If you want one reason to watch this film make it the amazing genius play in the middle of the film. All I'm going to say is 'Psychiatrist', puppets, musical and Dracula. Genius! Undoubtably 5 stars.

Light hearted

A Customer from Nottingham, 17th March, 2010

This was ok, thought Russell Brand was pretty good, better than I expected. No surprises though, you get what you expect really but enjoyable enough.

What a waste of 2 hours

nastypasty from , 7th March, 2010

This was really poor. The story line, the acting, the 'jokes', everything sucked. My only advice is to take this off your rental list (or never add it).

Forget about renting this movie

Chantal from , 7th March, 2010

Not funny not original and even after fast forwarding it to see if there was anything worse watching I stopped the DVD and put it back into his enveloppe. I won't miss you.
