Forgetting Sarah Marshall

I liked this movie alot. Definitely my favorite Judd Apatow involved movie. I love Freaks & Geeks, and thought Undeclared was good, but I haven't liked his movies all that much. Too much gratuitous bathroom humor in my opinion. Basically it seemed like when he was no longer having to deal with network censors he went too far for me. Anyway. 

Super basic plot, guy and girl break up, he meets someone else and that helps him get over the 1st girl. But. The guy is from Freaks & Geeks. Girl #1 is Kristen Bell/Veronica Mars. Girl #2 is Mila Kunis from That 70s Show. They put Kalani Robb in the movie (it is set in Hawaii). There is drunken singing of the Muppet Show theme song. A funny yoga scene. And a nod to Lebowski: "this isn't Europe, there are rules here."  There's also a vampire puppet show/rock opera. Two more bits from the movie:

Let me tell you something about these tattoos. That is buddhist, that is nordic, that is hindu, that is just jibberish. They are completely conflicting ideologies. That doesn't make you a citizen of the world, it makes you full of s&*^.

This guy is like Ghandi, but better. He likes puppets.
