1. Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Plot synopsis from IMDB.com:Peter is a composer and a likable sad sack who's devastated when his girlfriend of five years, Sarah Marshall, the star of a cheesy CSI-style crime show, dumps him. He weeps, he rails, he mopes. Finally, his step-brother Brian suggests Hawaii, so Peter heads for a resort on Oahu where, as he's checking in, he sees Sarah and her new beau, Aldous, a polymorphously perverse English rocker. The weeping and moping starts again, until Peter is rescued by Rachel, a thoughtful hotel clerk who invites him to a luau and to hang out. Although he constantly runs into Sarah and Aldous, Peter starts to come alive again. Will Sarah realize what she's lost, and what about Rachel?

My thoughts: Good movie. Funny. This movie has something for everyone. Penis. Dracula musicals. A song about being inside of a woman. The fat kid who is in EVERY MOVIE EVER. And one of the Baldwin brothers. All it's missing is Morgan Freeman/Danny Glover.

Things I Hated: The nipples to cock ratio is very skewed in this movie. In layman's terms, there be a shit load of wang up in this bitch.

Best performance: Russell Brand. I had never heard of him before, but he definitely stole many scenes as Aldous the rockstar.

Explosions: None.

Morgan Freeman sightings: None.

Deaths on screen: None.

Quotes:
1. When life gives you lemons, just say 'Fuck the lemons,' and bail.
2. Dwayne the Bartender: He turned down a blow job from his ex-girlfriend... mid-blowjob. You know how hard that is for a man? It's called blue balls. He's like Gandhi! But better - he likes puppets!
3. Kemo: Dwayne told me. Chuck told me. Even Rachel told me. I heard about it from everybody. You gotta stop talking about it. It's like "the Sopranos." It's *over*. Find a new show.

People Who Would Like This Movie: anyone who likes to laugh or look at non-porno cock.

Rating: 6/10 I liked it.

(By the way...wtf does polymorphously mean and why would someone use it in a summary of a comedy movie about Dracula musicals and penis?)
