current: Forgetting Sarah Marshall [90/100]

The Apatow gang has done it again. This time Jason Segel has written and starred, and his script is funny and, as with much of producer Judd Apatow's work, has the ring of truth about much of it. Peter Bretter [Segel] has been dumped by his tv-star girlfriend Sarah Marshall [Kristen Bell], and decides to get away from constant reminders of her. Needless to say, it doesn't work, and they end up in adjoining rooms at a resort in Hawaii. Some of the usual gross-out gags, and more envelope-pushing regarding male nudity, but the real surprise here is the fine work by Russell Brand as Sarah's new squeeze and Mila Kunis [That 70s Show, Family Guy] as Peter's new love interest. Just when you think you have these characters pegged, they show some humanity and capacity for growth. That's a good thing.
