Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Breaking up is hard to do--but that doesn't mean you can't have some belly laughs about it. Forgetting Sarah Marshall provides that rare treat: a romantic comedy about breakups, that is both romantic and funny. The laughs, especially from writer-star Jason Segel, are both heartfelt and raunchy, and the film is just unexpected enough that it keeps the viewer's attention till the end. The touches of producer Judd Apatow, who's famously retooled rom-coms to appeal to guys as much as women, are woven throughout the film, but Segel's script, reportedly based on many of his own experiences, is fresh and original. And adult. Forgetting Sarah Marshall features male genitalia laffs presented in unexpected and human ways (the nude breakup scene is played for giggles but also deep poignancy), and the language and sex scenes are strictly for grownups--and rightly so. Segel's script, and his performance as Peter, show that he understands the true nature of adult relationships, which provides the refreshing difference between this film and some of Apatow's other crude creations. The cast is sublime; Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) plays title character Sarah, a self-absorbed actress, and Russell Brand is her new British honey who accompanies her to--what are the chances?--the exact same Hawaiian resort as Peter, who's nursing his broken heart. Mila Kunis plays Rachel, the resort employee who gives Peter a reason to hope, and Paul Rudd is the surfing instructor who gives him his own brand of heartfelt advice ("When life gives you lemons, just say 'F--- the lemons' and bail," he says cheerily). The pacing is screwball, and the absurdities fly (a "Dracula" musical puppet show, and a surprisingly lovely Hawaiian version of "Nothing Compares 2 U"). Nothing the viewer will forget any time soon.--A.T. Hurley
Knocked Up
Unwanted pregnancy might sound like a risky subject for slapstick comedy, but Knocked Up is from writer-director Judd Apatow--so we are in the hands of a man who likes to push things. And like Apatow's predecessor, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up is a shaggy crowd-pleaser, a comedy strewn with vulgarity but with a sweet heart at its center. A one-night stand between the utterly mismatched Ben (Seth Rogen, his first starring role) and Alison (Katherine Heigl) results in said pregnancy, and the two people reunite for mutual support--even though they barely know each other. Ben's a slob who lives with four other guys, all of whom share the same stunted approach to maturity; Alison is a new on-air personality at the E! channel. That these two eventually develop a shared understanding and affection is perhaps the movie's biggest stretch (some of the male-humor jokes amongst the guys are idiotic enough to test anybody's hope of civilizing them).
Rogen and Heigl don't really jump off the screen, but, to be fair, the movie frequently needs them to play straight while the supporting cast cuts up. Virgin vets Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd are around to supply some humor, as Alison's sister and brother-in-law, and the four idiots who live with Ben (Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, Jason Siegel, and Martin Starr) are in their own zone of sophomoric bad taste. Still, by 40-Year-Old Virgin standards, this movie doesn't explode, and it sometimes feels ramshackle to the point of not being thought out. Apatow's indulgence of actors creates some fine moments (Paul Rudd seems to have most of them), but it can also make a movie feel flabby, and this is overlong by the length of a belly. --Robert Horton
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
Cult comic actor Steve Carell--long adored for his supporting work on The Daily Show and in movies like Bruce Almighty and Anchorman--leaps into leading man status with The 40 Year-Old Virgin. There's no point describing the plot; it's about how a 40 year-old virgin named Andy (Carell) finally finds true love and gets laid. Along the way, there are very funny scenes involving being coached by his friends, speed dating, being propositioned by his female manager, and getting his chest waxed. Carell finds both humor and humanity in Andy, and the supporting cast includes some standout comic work from Paul Rudd (Clueless, The Shape of Things) and Jane Lynch (Best in Show, A Mighty Wind), as well as an unusually straight performance from Catherine Keener (Lovely & Amazing, Being John Malkovich). And yet... something about the movie misses the mark. It skirts around the topic of male sexual anxiety, mining it for easy jokes, but never really digs into anything that would make the men in the audience actually squirm--and it's a lot less funny as a result. Nonetheless, there are many great bits, and Carell deserves the chance to shine. --Bret Fetzer

Hilariously Funny November 25, 2008
What can I say, 3 awesome movies that are hilarious. Also having the unrated versions make it that much funnier.
Perfect combo November 19, 2008
3 hilarious movies for the price of 2! I had wanted all three of these movies on Blu and what a great deal this was. All 3 movies are in their own cases same as the ones when you buy them single and are the same versions as well. You don't get anything special aside from the one box which I didn't really need or want. Usually "comedy packs/collections" come with one good movie and the other two would be decent or just plain bad. This is the rare gem where all 3 are great movies. My personal favorite is Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but honestly all three are excellent.
40 Year Old Virgin is the now classic Steve Carell movie. Knocked Up continues the trend of odd characters and great humor. Although it's not as popular among females who call it out saying it's unrealistic for Katherine Heigl's character to end up with someone like Seth Rogan. Most guys of course, would have no problems ending up with someone looking like Katherine Heigl. And finally Forgetting Sarah Marshall brings another great cast together for even more bizarre comedy. All of them have some equally funny stuff in the extras as well. They are all great discs.
If you liked any one of these movies then chances are good that you will like all of them all and getting this as a pack at a great price is a good way to expand that Blu-Ray collection.
Unbeatable comedies/price! November 2, 2008
This is a really great compilation of comedies and for an unbeatable price. The special features make these even more bang for the buck. It's a great way to start rebuilding your comedy collection on Blu-ray.
Great blu ray combo November 2, 2008
All 3 Movies are super funny. You get all 3 for less than it cost to buy 2 blu rays seperartely in a retail store. Well worth the purchase if you have a blu ray player and like to laugh.
Three very funny movies, oh and they look nice on Blu-Ray October 21, 2008
First of all, all three of these movies look great on blu-ray for comedies. Sarah Marshall in particular (set in Hawaii) looks nice. All three movies are very funny, and odds are even if you have seen only one of these, you will find the others funny. They are all three part of the Apatow family. All three moves are Unrated and contain nudity and extremely crude language so they might not be suitable for small children, but they should produce plenty of laughs and good times for most adults.
