Trivia:
Kristen Bell damaged her knee whilst filming one of the horse scenes for the movie, which didn't end up making it into the final cut, however she can still be seen walking with a light limp in scenes towards the end of the movie. moreGoofs:
Continuity: In the first scene with Peter and Sarah, she is seen with a bobby pin but later on the bobby pin in her hair disappears. Before she leaves you can catch a glimpse of it again. moreQuotes:
Peter Bretter: I love Hawaii.Sarah Marshall: Yeah, it's nice, but I think for like a week, tops. Any more than that and I know that I'd go crazy, because I think that Hawaii is a place to escape for people who can't deal with the real world.
Rachel Jansen: Yeah, you know, there's so few personal shoppers and pet therapists. Gosh, it's such a hard life.

I'm not a big fan of Judd Apatow and his recent crop of movies.
That said, I got to see "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" April 11 at a preview screening with some friends, and I was impressed. It's a joke movie, but it has a story that pulls you along, and the jokes are outrageously funny. I nearly died laughing. It doesn't try to push the envelope of "How immature and disgusting can we be?", which was what I have come to expect from these sorts of movies. It's just funny actors doing a great job of telling a good story that most adults will relate to in some way. It's honest fun, and I wish there were more comedies like this coming out.
All my friends enjoyed the film, too (aged 20-27). It's a good date movie, though certainly NOT one for the kids or younger teenagers.
