I've already forgotten.

Forgettable romantic comedy about a jilted guy who takes a Hawaiian vacation alone to forget the girl who jilted him, only to find she is on the island, in the same hotel, ultimately in the room next door - with her new boyfriend. Beige, uncomfortable laughs ensue.
 Redeeming factors of FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL: Judd Apatow is producer, so the laughs are thankfully a little left of center;
Jason Segel (also the writer) is the jilted guy, eternally mooning over his ex, working on a Dracula musical, and not afraid to drop trou on his pasty white lumpish body;
cheeky pansexual Russell Brand steals every scene playing new boyfriend, rock star Aldous Snow, like a walking erection; Jonah Hill is a waiter infatuated with Snow; Paul Rudd is a painfully hip surfer dude; and Bill Hader is Segel's happily-married stepbrother.
Smug Mila Kunis is the hotel concierge who brings out the adventurous side of Segel (predictably) and falls for his big depressing, pasty white lumpish body (inexplicably); cross-eyed Kristen Bell is Sarah Marshall, whose redeeming factor is her rock-hard spinner bod (but why did it have to be connected to something that speaks and has opinions?).
FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL. See? It's easy.
