Rom-com fans will enjoy 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall'

Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) has always been content in the shadow of his celebrity girlfriend, TV star Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell).

When he is dumped for a leather-clad British rock star (Russell Brand), he heads to Hawaii to heal his broken heart, only to find the lovebirds staying in the same hotel. Refusing to move, Peter makes the best of an embarrassing situation, striking up a tender friendship with receptionist Rachel (Mila Kunis).

'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' is a touching romantic comedy, buoyed by Segel’s charm. Bell and Kunis are appealing love interests, leaving Peter in a genuine quandary, and Brand is hilarious in a role that may as well have been written for him.
