Forgetting Sarah Marshall: Hopeful Joy


I've watched this movie five times, and still counting. Not to mention some particular scenes I watched over and over again.

This movie is great.
- Downright funny (subtle, realistic, intelligent comedy which is great + not so subtle, over the top comedy which is also great).
- Great interesting memorable characters and quotations.
- Acting is convincing (adds to the funny). Apatow (the producer) has some of the greatest talents under his wing. I love his movies.
- Plot is great (not quite using the same formula Hollywood has, of course, Jason Segel wrote it), close to life (well sometimes it's not, but even when it doesn't, it gives joy).
- Directing, editing, cinematography (the setting being in Oahu helps) are good.



I'm starting to write some gibberish nonsense, so just watch it. You won't be sorry.
