(1 - 30) of 30 OFCS Rating: 77% Fresh Page   1   4/5 "Written with a sensationally smutty Woody Allen expertise and loaded with big fat bawdy barrel laughs, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is another wacked out winner."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron A "It's a firecracker of a picture, paying tribute to stomped hearts everywhere, not to mention throwing valentines toward the Muppets, luscious Hawaii, and the comedic value of the penis."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf B- "Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a romantic comedy for guys, but there’s plenty of material aimed at female audiences as well, not the least of which are the full-frontal male assaults. We’re all friends in Judd Apatow’s comedic vision."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "The formula dictates that Sarah and Rachel are props along the road to Peter's discovery of "true love.""   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs C+ "Feathery light and lazily put together romantic comedy."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "Was the movie entertaining? Yes. Did it quite consistently earn some big laughs and small chuckles? Yes. Was the audience's intelligence insulted? Thankfully, no."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B+ "Sex and nudity are played for laughs, and they genuinely earn them -- not by shocking us, but by reminding us of the awkward hilarity of intimate relationships."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3.5/4 "Between the climactic musical number that changes a horror classic forever, and at least 90 minutes of sustained laughter, what possible reason could you have to want to forget Sarah Marshall?"   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C+ "Has some good ingredients, but they're mostly in the side dishes rather than the main course, and they're not tasty enough to make the whole thing worth ordering."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek B+ "If you can't be Woody Allen, it's better not even to try."   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart 3.5/4 "Forgetting Sarah Marshall is at least as good as the two Apatow-directed movies, with a script that might be both a little sharper and a little more romantic."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 7/10 "This comedy thing isn't supposed to be as easy as these guys make it seem."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick B+ "Forgetting Sarah Marshall falls somewhere between Superbad and Walk Hard."   Film School Rejects   Kevin Carr 3/4 "Jason Segel lets it all hang out, and we love him for it!"   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B- "It's certainly a big step up for Apatow produced projects from the negligible "Drillbit Taylor," but despite the parade of familiar faces, 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall" isn't the equal of his 2007 output."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "It's really hard to like a character when his own movie makes fun of him..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/4 "The movie is very wise, but also unbelievably funny, proving again that the line between comedy and tragedy is a thin one. Forgetting Sarah Marshall makes you laugh and squirm in recognition at the same time."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- "Segal writes some hilarious lines, and there is a deliriously random detour into vampire musical theater puppetry. But the film's happiest surprise is Russell Brand."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 2.5/4 "Segel's script frequently enlivens pedestrian scenarios with sharp verbal back-and-forths and sudden cutaways to bizarre gags."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 4/5 "It shows that the Apatow brand is still alive, kicking and prepared to wreak havoc on your funny bone without totally damaging your brain cells in the process."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 4/5 "Besides being hilariously funny, it's also rather insightful, with some very smart dialog."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B "Another entertaining vulgar comedy."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B- "While Segel is mildly amusing, Russell Brand steals the show as Brit rocker Aldous Snow, Sarah Marshall's (Kristen Bell) new squeeze."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 4/5 "One of those can't-miss romantic comedies in that there's some sweet, sensitive, insightful stuff for the ladies -- but there's also plenty of raunchy comedy for the boys. (And vice versa.)"   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg 3/5 "runs into the same snags Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston encountered when they suffered through The Break-Up in 2006"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 4/4 "i loved it to bits"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson "Forgetting Sarah Marshall follows the Apatow formula faithfully enough. All that's missing is charisma -- the je ne sais quois that makes us fall in love in the first place."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 8/10 "An outrageously raunchy romp, another audience-pleaser from Judd Apatow, who stretches farcial, vulgar silliness into outright hilarity."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 6/10 "Not one second in the film is unpleasant, for even the bummer scenes have the wistful ring of truth. But I do mind how much of it is no more than pleasant."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 0.5/4 "Listen, I have a family."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 30) of 30 OFCS Rating: 77% Fresh Page   1
