FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL (2008)
SYNOPSIS
From the producers of The 40-Year-Old Virgin and
Knocked Up comes a comic look at one guy's
arduous quest to grow up and get over the
heartbreak of being dumped -- if he can only make
himself start Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Struggling
musician Peter Bretter (Jason Segel, How I Met
Your Mother, Knocked Up) has spent six years
idolizing his girlfriend, television star Sarah
Marshall (Kristen Bell, Veronica Mars). 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 (Russell Brand), 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
(Mila Kunis), a beautiful resort employee whose
laid-back approach tempts him to rejoin the world.
He also finds relief in several hundred
embarrassing, fruity cocktails. For anyone who
