Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) scores a combined 4.00 out of 4 stars for MovieWeb (Matt Sheehan) MovieWeb (Matt Sheehan)
There is a moment in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," the latest production from comedy guru Judd Apatow, that is filled with genuine sincerity and realism that I could not stop a lone, solitary tear from rolling down my cheek. That one was part of ...read the complete Forgetting Sarah Marshall movie review at MovieWeb (Matt Sheehan)
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) scores a combined 4.00 out of 4 stars for Filmjerk.com (Brian Orndorf) Filmjerk.com (Brian Orndorf)
For others (and this would be me), the unwashed comedic sensibility of the Apatow family is a godsend, and “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” is another barnstorming success, flush with peculiar performances, a frothy stream of vulgarity, and a universal tal ...read the complete Forgetting Sarah Marshall movie review at Filmjerk.com (Brian Orndorf)

Enter Jason Segel, who wrote the raunchy rom-com Forgetting Sarah Marshall out of a healthy dose of real-life romantic humiliation (rumor has it that his former flame, TV star Linda Cardellini, did actually dump Segel whilst he was indeed starkers). Now, ...read the complete Forgetting Sarah Marshall movie review at eFilmCritic.com (William Goss)

Membership in the Judd Apatow inner-circle is worth its weight in gold these days.

There's a wit in Segel's writing that marks him as every bit Apatow's equal in this arena.

Let me first say, Forgetting Sarah Marshall has too much frontal male nudity for my liking.
