He got heartbroken and is still suffering from it till today. Peter gets dumped by his girlfriend after a 5.5 year relationship, which makes him so miserable and depressed. However, I truly believe him getting into a relationship with another girl will certainly help him forget his sad feelings, just like how to happened in this movie. He is lost and does not know how to get out of his misery. He decides to go spend sometime in Hawaii, only to realize his ex-girlfriend is also in Hawaii with her new boyfriend, a British singer who is kind of a weirdo.He keeps unintentionally encountering his ex-girlfriend and her new boy friend everywhere he goes in Hawaii. Eventually, he gets over her after he falls in love with the hotel receptionist.The comedy in the movie is good, however I think it would be way funnier if it was watched in the cenima hearing the audience laughing too.Getting dumped is hard, and getting over it is even harder.I have a close friend of mine who got dumped recently after a 3 year relationship.
I am fed up with Hollywood remaking every movie of the last 30 years with whoever the flavor of the month "hot" young actor is.there are so few ORIGINAL movies out there, and this one, although maybe a common theme (boy loses girl, boy tries to win girl back, boy gets better girl), is one of my new favorites.Raunchy, yet funny, and while over the top, is pretty close to how most of us have felt at one time or another about a break-up.and that's what makes it great.Not to be watched with the kids, it is great for grown-ups who are okay with a little nudity, a lot of swearing, and some very awkward sexual moments.
Laugh a lot, I did. Hilarity continues as Peter runs into his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend, a wildly famous raunchy british rocker, Aldous Huxley (Russell Brand) right at the front counter of the hotel.
Other highlights of humor come from small but import parts from Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, a newlywed couple trying to consummate the marriage, and some of the actors playing the locals. Might I mention, he is conveniently checking in with the desk clerk, Rachel Jansen (Mila Kunis).
This movie is a great comedy whose heart is in the right place. Peter takes a vacation to Hawaii after a devastatingly humorous breakup with his TV actress girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell).
This movie is a must-see. In the same vein as Superbad and 40 Year Old Virgin this movie tackles small topics that make you laugh.
Written and starring by Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother), the story follows Peter (Segel) a musician that records scores for television.
Way to go, Segel.you pulled it off. Me. Quite possibly one of the worst films I have ever seen in my life. I supposed you managed it because the Studio and the target audience are just the same sort of people that you are. I wish I had my time back wasted on this garbage film. I was halfway through this movie, wondering why there wasn't a single character I liked or could identify with, when I realized that Segal had somehow managed to win a bet: That he could get the Studio to finance a film with himself as the lead, send him on an extended, all-expenses-paid vacation to Hawaii, fund his expenses, indulge his adolescent sexual fantasies to simulate having sex with his favorite young, nubile actress, satisfy his fetish for nude exhibitionism, and generally glorify every bad habit he has, while somehow making himself the "hero" of the piece. This is just one more film in the current vein of taking a major male Loser and elevating him to some kind of icon via self-indulgence, lazyness, studpidity, cruelty, inept socialization and disgusting habits, giving all some kind of modern stamp of approval.
Hilarious. I thought the movie had some really funny scenes, but what made it for me was Russell Brand as Aldous Snow.
