Forgetting Sarah Marshall

forgettingsarahmarshall1_500.jpg

Well I went and checked this movie out tonight and overall really enjoyed it. It was another in the vein of Superbad, Knocked Up, etc. These types are always surefire to crack me up.

One thing I really liked about this one specifically was how honest it was. And that goes in many ways, honest that the jokes were over the top most of the time, but seemed to really embrace that not seem to forced.

Yet at the same time, I really loved the honesty of some of the characters(mainly the leading guy), and how tangeible he seemed around the wonky humor and situations.

One crazy thing though was the amount of male privates in the film. And I even scoff a bit as I write this, but in the first scene alone, you get like 3-4 shots. By the end of the film, I was seriously wondering what the heck was going on with the filmmakers, as it was pretty unnecessary and not blatently made as a joke. I mean don’t get me wrong, it was on some level a joke, but not really played clearly as one, if that makes sense.

What makes you wonder even more is when you see that the main character wrote the film.

so…..

The guy that is running around naked….wrote the film? lol

I mean, he wasn’t just signed up for this, or pressured into it. I mean HE wrote himself into the situation! Who knows…

Well it was fun and made me crack up a ton, you should check it out!

If you ever saw that parody comedy about the singer, “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story”… it’s basically a really bad comedy, but the lone funny part is a random scene where a guy’s wang and balls show up in the right hand corner of the screen. Completely random, unexpected and hilarious. It ends pretty quickly though and it’s never mentioned again. I thought “Sarah Marshall” was good too, but I felt like they saw that Dewey Cox movie, decided the penis joke was the best part and decided to dedicate a good 5 minutes of their intro to the same concept. Wasn’t feeling it either.
