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 a vacation, so Peter heads for a resort on Oahu where, as he's checking in, he sees Sarah and her new beau, Aldous, a perverse English rocker. The weeping and moping start 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?Written by

I was surprised that I would enjoy the film as much as I did though. I enjoyed seeing Hawaii onscreen. Jason Segel wrote and acted as Peter, a composer, who breaks up with Sarah Marshall, a television crime drama star. To get over it, he goes to Hawaii where Sarah and her new boyfriend, Aldous (Russell Brand) also vacation. What are the odds that they would end up in the same resort? A great cast makes the film worthwhile. I enjoyed seeing Kristin Wiig, Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill, Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and others. If it doesn't make you want to go to Hawai, nothing will. I enjoyed the Hawaiian background probably best of all. The film has some comedic moments and doesn't try to go too far.
