Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a 2008 American romantic comedy film directed by Nicholas Stoller (in his feature directorial debut) and starring Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis and Russell Brand. The film, which was written by Segel and co-produced by Judd Apatow, was released by Universal Pictures. Filming began in April 2007 at the Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of Oahu Island in Hawaii. The film was released in North American theaters on April 18, 2008, and in the United Kingdom a week later on April 25, 2008.

The story revolves around Peter Bretter, a music composer for a TV show that features his girlfriend, Sarah Marshall, in the lead role. After a five-year relationship, Sarah abruptly breaks up with Peter. Devastated by this event, he chooses to go on vacation to Hawaii, in order to try to move forward with his life. Trouble ensues when he runs into Sarah on the island as she is on vacation with her latest boyfriend.

The film was released on April 18, 2008, to overwhelming success both critically and commercially, earning more than double its production costs.

Composer Peter Bretter is devastated when his girlfriend of five and a half years, TV actress Sarah Marshall, dumps him out of the blue. To get over Sarah, he decides to take a trip to Oahu, a place that Sarah used to talk about a lot.

However, Peter's hopes for a relaxing getaway are ruined when he learns that Sarah and her new boyfriend, British rock star Aldous Snow, are staying at the same resort as him. Rachel Jansen, a hotel concierge, takes pity on Peter's situation so offers him a complimentary suite.

Peter's heartbreak is aggravated by awkward run-ins with Sarah and Aldous, as well as seeing all the vacationing couples at the resort. Things improve when he begins spending time with Rachel and developing feelings for her.

While hanging out one night, Peter confesses to Rachel that he hates his day job of composing TV show music and that his true passion is writing a Dracula puppet rock opera. At a bar, Rachel volunteers Peter to perform a song from the opera and cheers him on as he performs the number.

On a day out hiking with Peter, Rachel dares him to jump off a cliff into the ocean. He starts the jump but is caught by some vines, so is left dangling off the edge. With some prodding from Rachel, he lets go and safely lands in the water, after which she kisses him.
