Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)
Peter is a composer and a likable sad sack who's devastated when his girlfriend of five years, Sarah Marshall, the star of a cheesy CSI-style crime show, dumps him. He weeps, he rails, he mopes. Finally, his step-brother Brian suggests Hawaii, so Peter heads for a resort on Oahu where, as he's checking in, he sees Sarah and her new beau, Aldous, a polymorphously perverse English rocker. The weeping and moping starts again, until Peter is rescued by Rachel, a thoughtful hotel clerk who invites him to a luau and to hang out. Although he constantly runs into Sarah and Aldous, Peter starts to come alive again. Will Sarah realize what she's lost, and what about Rachel?
This movie was just non-stop laughs from start to finish. Whether it’s the way Pete (main character) weeps- yes he weeps, not cries)- or the bickering between Pete and his step-brother, the movie is a crowd pleaser. Everyone has been through a break up. Many parts of this movie can touch everyone and anyone in a special way, while making you laugh. This movie only gets funnier the more times you watch it because you tend to notice more of the subtle humor. There are many jokes that you won’t get the first time.
