'Forgetting Sarah Marshall 2008'


The Story

Peter Bretter composes background mood-setting music for the TV series Crime Scene: Scene of the Crime, while dreaming of the day he can complete and make public his Dracula puppet musical. Or at least that’s how he spent his time prior to his girlfriend, series star Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), dumping him. Now he’s a sad shell of a man, going through the motions of sex with random strangers and unable to work up the energy to do his job because Sarah’s constantly on his mind.



Universal PicturesHis brother (Bill Hader), trying to be helpful, convinces him the only way to recover is to unwind and relax by taking a vacation in Hawaii. Peter agrees and flies off to the land of bikini-clad babes to heal his wounds. There, while making small talk with Rachel (Mila Kunis) - the cutie behind the counter at the Turtle Bay Resort on Oahu’s North Shore - Peter discovers he’s randomly chosen the same hotel as his ex. Sarah’s also picked Turtle Bay as her vacation spot of choice and is there with her new British rock star boyfriend, Aldous Snow (Russell Brand), a man dripping with sexual energy. Sarah, of course, believes Peter’s only there to check up on her.
After a crying bout to rival any newborn’s, Peter tries to suck it up by sucking down mai tais and mixing with the locals. But no matter where he turns, Sarah and Aldous are there. Getting over Sarah isn’t easy when he can’t seem to get away from her.
