Blu-Ray Review: Forgetting Sarah Marshall

I had originally decided that, as this movie was only slightly above average, it probably did no deserve a movie review from me. I'm a very busy person and cannot be bothered to write several lines about a movie that was merely above average.

Don't get me wrong. I did really like. There is something personally appealling to me about a big goofy guy like How I Met Your Mother's Jason Segel getting to fuck both Kristen Bell and Mila Kunis. And the plot -- a recently dump guy trying to clear his head of thoughts of his hot ex goes to Hawaii where said hot ex is at the exact same hotel with her new beau -- does deliver on uncomfortable hilarity. But there weren't the gut-busting laughs like you get from a Superbad or a Step Brothers.

In fact, the movie it's closest to, The Hammer, is a better, funnier movie. So, nope, no review here.

But then I started rewatching it on the HBO or Showtime or whatever and I began to realize that this is the greatest movie ever for one criterion, and one criterion only.

This movie possess the largest collection of women that I would actually want to make sex on.

Of course, other movies have many more "hot" women than this. But Forgetting Sarah Marshall has women that, at least in this reviewers twisted mind, are semi-attainable.

They are not the typical hot Hollywood whore. They're more like the cutest chick in marching band -- maybe a little hotter.

Let's run them down, and see if you agree:

Kristen Bell - aka Veronica Mars, aka Electric Elle on Heroes. She's cute with a rockin petite body. But the face is just off enough that after a few Buttery Nipples at the Capitol Grille, she might be within reach.

Mila Kunis – the cute chick from That 70’s Show. She’s adorably cute, but not a classic beauty. And she kinda talks funny. So she probably has some self esteem issues about that. Low self esteem = fun.

Kristin Wiig – many characters on SNL – hillariously funny in her one scene in the movie. She looks like the fun chick in your circle of friends and she’s funny.

Maria Thayer – I had only seen her once before as the blind chick Kenneth was smitten with on 30 Rock. Unknown to me at the time, this was a bit of stunt-casting as she played Jack McBrayer’s (30 Rock’s Kenneth) wife in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. She’s an amazing redhead with amazing porcelain skin with a light dusting of amazing freckles. Since she’s the least know of the four, she’s probably the most gettable.

Academy Award Nomination to Jason Segel for writing a movie where he gets to hold Mila Kunis while naked. Unfortunately, it was him, not her.

Anti -Academy Award nomination for the director of photography for filming Kristen Bell’s nude scene so you can’t see anything.

B+

Wiig's scene is not on normal DVD. At least not here in Doucheland. Dammit!

If these women are semi-attainable then the females of Dallas are obviously more desperate than I remember. Homeward Hos!

Hmmm. Well I did watch the unrated version with extra scenes. So it's possible.

And really I'm meaning these are women that are my type. Scarlet Johannson and Angelina Jolie are both hot, but not really my type. If you understand what I mean.
