The latest film from a team whose earlier works (40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up) I greatly enjoyed, Forgetting Sarah Marshall implies that its focus is on the end of the relationship, not the beginning. But that's only half the story. While there's little character development, it's an emotional journey for the lead actor from start to finish. Unfortunately, like many adult comedies, they schlock on the humor through uncomfortable situations, leaving my cringing and unable to watch half the time. But the reference jokes and straight-up funny stuff is plentiful, too. I recommend seeing this one in the theater, so you can laugh with the audience for full effect.
