Forgetting Sarah Marshall is the movie to catch this week. It is sweet, off-beat, and totally loveable. Produced by the same folks behind The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Superbad, it will have you grinning from ear to ear long after the credits roll.

The comedy stars Jason Segel (not pretty but not ugly either) as an average guy with a way-above-average girlfriend (Veronical Mars' Kirsten Bell), who is an actress on a popular CSI-like TV show called Crime Scene: Scene of the Crime. Realising that she's too good for him, she decides to dump him, after six years of using him as her handbag at red carpet events. He begs and pleads for another chance. But she won't listen. In truth, she wants to leave him for a new guy, a hairy tattooed British pop star named Aldous (a very funny Russell Brand).

Jason tries to cope with the break-up by drinking and sleeping around. But nothing seems to work. He gets on plane to Hawaii to recuperate some more. There, he meets The One (Mila Kunis from The 70s Show) who is completely sweet, unpretentious and cool about everything. Let the healing begin!

Directed by Nick Stoller and co-written by Judd Apatow, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is the best romantic comedy since, well, Judd's own Knocked Up. It mixes sexy and slapstick humour with very perceptive observations about love and relationships. Judd proves once again that you can make people laugh without making them stupid.

Don't miss it this hilarious, tender-hearted comedy for grown-ups.
