Forgetting Sarah Marshall | Ratings & Reviews

"Judd Apatow's comedies are always watchable and sometimes hilarious, but with the latest to emerge under his aegis, I have to admit it is getting harder to defend them against the charge of misogyny."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"Yeah, it's pretty funny. And it's a pretty accurate depiction of a certain feature of male romantic humiliation. But it's also a little -- and this is one of my two misgivings about the movie -- expected."

Premiere MagazinePremiere Magazine

"It's a film with some home truths and offbeat characters in ordinary situations mixed with ordinary characters in offbeat situations. The laughs are there, but it's a shame they're a long time coming."

New Zealand HeraldNew Zealand Herald

"It's too soppy to truly please Apatow groupies and too vulgar for rom-com junkies. There are some hilarious parts, but overall Forgetting Sarah Marshall is fairly underwhelming."

NewshubNewshub

"A tropical sex comedy that’s a little unfocused, but Segal and co throw plenty of funniness at the wall - and most of it sticks."

Empire MagazineEmpire Magazine

"Straddling the boundary between chick-flick and dick-flick, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is an enjoyable addition to the Apatow comedy canon. It's not as hilarious as The 40-Year-Old Virgin don't expect to laugh out loud but it should save a few arguments about what to see on date night."

Christchurch PressChristchurch Press

"If Peter's imperfections are exaggerated, it's to amusing effect: his frequent heavy sobbing fits can't fail to entertain. And that's one of the genius touches of this comedy. It's prepared to expose the vulnerabilities of its hero and humiliate him completely - to the point where you've just got to love him and laugh at him in equal measure."
