Hey I don't know if any of you guys know or have heard of the new Judd Apatow produced comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It looks absolutely hilarious and is due out on April 18 2008.
The movie was written by Judd Apatow and Jason Segel (Freaks and Geeks, Knocked Up & How I Met Your Mother fame) and stars Segel in the lead role opposite Kristen Bell (



).
The plot goes a little like this:
Peter Bretter (Segel) is a music composer who is madly in love with his "hot actress" girlfriend Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). But when Sarah dumps Peter for a preening British rock star Aldous Snow (newcomer comedian Russell Brand), the sensitive slob of a guy goes into an emotional tailspin. At the advice of his well-meaning stepbrother (Bill Hader), Peter decides to take a solo trip down to Hawaii staying coincidentally at the same hotel as his ex Sarah and her new beau. He soon discovers that it is going to be extremely hard to forget Sarah Marshall.
The flick also stars Mila Kunis (That 70's Show, Family Guy), Jack McBrayer (30 Rock) and features cameos from Apatow regulars - Paul Rudd and Jonah Hill as well as Jason Bateman (Arrested Development, Juno).
Forgetting Sarah Marshall has opened in festivals to extremely positive reviews hailing it
"The Best Comedy of 2008" and
"Funnier than Knocked Up and on par with Superbad."
The movie is
rated R for sexual references, course language and nudity (Thats right, Jason Segel does the FULL monty!)

I laughed so hard at Russell Brand here. "How can a mobile phone murder you or have a hidden agenda?" and "It's a metaphor for a crap movie."
