| Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)Greg Maki... The Apatow Company's latest instant classic ... |
| Style Weekly (Richmond, VA)Thomas PeyserThe trademark Apatow mix of pasty, media-addled boy-men and the gorgeous, gorgeous women who badger them into an imitation of maturity already feels dated. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesSo easy to relate to, but it's the film's unpredictable nature, great characters and hilarious script that makes it the comedy of the year. |
| MTVKurt LoderThe movie would have benefited from a lot more of Russell Brand, whose surreal egocentricity and vast reserves of disdain light up every scene he's in. The man wields every great line he's given like a whip. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesJim EmersonYou know exactly where, and the pleasure of Forgetting Sarah Marshall is in how it gets there. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussAs perfectly tailored an introduction of a new (if limited) movie star as has been seen since the golden age of the Hollywood studio system. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyLike "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up," Sarah Marshall has all the ingredients of the Apatow brand. Alas, it's beginning to feel generic. |
| Metromix.comMatt PaisA romantic comedy both men and women can fall in love with ... the kind of movie you could watch all day. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Jeff ViceFeatures some very big laughs and is considerably sweeter than the trailers would make it seem. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThere's a wit in Segel's writing that marks him as every bit Apatow's equal in this arena. |
