Reviews:The Happening,Forgetting Sarah Marshall

After the disappointment caused by recent M.Night Shyamalan movies,many wondered:what happened to the talent,which was evident in his earlier work (mainly in the Sixth Sense)?The expectations for M.Night's new movie were mixed and some people were not very optimistic.It was evident that after the critical and box-office failure of Lady in the Water,he needed a hit movie.The early reviews for the Happening were negative,and the other that followed were also negative,although there were some who thought that it was a good movie.
In my opinion,TH is not,by any means,a bad or even a mediocre movie.It certainly has its flaws.However,the plot device is interesting,making you wonder what's really happening?M.Night succeeds in creating an uncertain environment,a tense and uneasy atmosphere and there also some scary moments.Sometimes,the movie slows down and some questions are left unanswered.Overall,it's a decent movie,which is worth watching.




Forgetting Sarah Marshall is one more movie from the "Apatow factory" and most of the gang is here.It's a comedy with some dramatic moments.To some level,it's a bittersweet movie,considering the development of the relationships and all the related stuff.There are lot of funny moments but there is also,sometimes,a serious tone.At times,FSM loses its pace,resulting to some weak moments.To sum up,Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a very funny,entertaining but flawed movie.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall Red Band Trailer

Struggling musician Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) has spent six years idolizing his girlfriend, television star Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). While writing a Muppet-type Dracula musical, he's the guy left holding her purse in paparazzi photos and accidentally omitted from acceptance award speeches. Things take a twist when she breaks up with him, and Peter suddenly finds himself alone. After an unsuccessful bout of womanizing and an on-the-job nervous breakdown, he sees that not having Sarah may just ruin his life.

To clear his head, Peter takes an impulsive trip to Hawaii, where he is confronted by his worst nightmare: Sarah and her narcissistic and tragically-hip, new British-rocker boyfriend, Aldous (Russell Brand), are staying at his hotel. As he torments himself with the reality of Sarah's new life, he finds relief when flirting with Rachel (Mila Kunis), a beautiful resort employee whose laid-back approach tempts him to rejoin the world.

As of April 16, 2008, the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 88% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 25 reviews. An early review on Ebert&Roeper gave it positive reviews.Richard Roeper said that it was an "instant classic" and that if he ever made a list of his current top 50 comedies, he'd find some way to put this movie on the list.
