On the outside, I try to project an image of having it all together. But underneath that, I'm kind of a disaster. Hence... the name of the site: GlossyVeneer. Plot:
Devastated Peter takes a Hawaii vacation in order to deal with recent break-up with his TV star girlfriend, Sarah. Little does he know Sarah’s traveling to the same resort as her ex … and she’s bringing along her new boyfriend.

Notable:
Jason Segel, who wrote this, actually did have a moment where someone broke up with him while he was naked.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
What did I take away from this film?
1) I need a Hawaiian Vacation.
2) ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ is very lovely when sung in Hawaiian.
3) Puppet theatre should be more prevalent.
4) Male nudity on screen: Once it’s kind of funny, two times it’s kind of surprising and four times it’s a little awkward.
This movie did have some very funny moments, but I didn’t feel it was as exceptional as the other Judd Apatow productions out there. The oversexed rock star character was surprisingly funny, more so than I thought he would be at the outset of the film. I’m not so sure I could take repeat viewings of this film, as I know I don’t need to see Jason Segel’s nude scenes again, but there were some really well-written scenes with good humor.
My rating: stars
