In addition

As some of you know I enjoy things. Now, I know what you are thinking, "Jason, we all enjoy things!" But I believe I enjoy more things than you do!!! Movies, music, books, games, food, etc. These are only a few of the literally dozens of things I enjoy.

As someone who prides himself on being an enjoyifier of high caliber and pedigree I will occasionally place reviews or recommendations of said "enjoyable" things.

The first thing to receive a Jason Flowers' Stamp of Enjoyment is the recently released film Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Jess and I had the fortune to celebrate seven years together (as a couple) last week and thought, "Hey! Let's get a babysitter and watch a film about people breaking up! It will makes us feel better because we are the most awesomest in the entire world!" (if you didn't know this...it is true.)

So Saturday morning came ( yes, we are lame and go to the movies on the weekend..before noon. its only 4 bucks!) and we entered the theater for the first movie we have seen at a theater since February and only the third since Evey was born.

Sidebar....Babies take up a lot of time.

As the movie began we were excited because we love us some Jason Segal and Kristen Bell and knew that this movie would make us laugh uncontrollably. Literally, like asked to shut up or leave!

Anyway, that Jason Segal is very daring with what he will do on camera. I mean within 5 minutes we were exposed to something we did not expect to see not once, not twice, but thrice!! I shan't give away what the afore mentioned thing was, but if/when you have seen it...you will know. Needless to say we knew we were in for a hilariously ballsy ride!

Well onto the actual film. It was not an entirely original story, boy loses girl, boy goes to Hawaii, oops girl is in Hawaii with new boy, boy meets new girl who helps him get over girl. Typical RomCom fare. What is so impressive about this film was that the "bad guy", Sarah Marshall is a character that you eventually feel compassion towards. That being said...she is still a stupid biatch!I mean, who could ever dump Marshall from HIMYM???

In fact the females in this Judd Apatow film, felt pretty real. Unlike in 40 year old Virgin, Knocked Up, or Superbad, these girls weren't shallowly written concoctions of an adolescent male brain. Ok, so they were written by a 20 something male, but they had dreams, aspirations, disappointments, fears, insecurities, etc.

Oh and they were both super hot. Especially VMars. I heart Kristen Bell.

Another strength of this film was its supporting characters from Bill Hader as Segal's step-brother to the always hilarious Paul Rudd as the completely-out-of-it surfing instructor, they all had us cracking up!

I was, however, not a fan of Jonah Hill's performance. While great in Superbad, his character was just a little too awkward and uncomfortable to watch. And not in a The Office kind of uncomfortable, but in a "wow, they should have gotten a different actor" uncomfortable.

All in all, Forgetting Sarah Marshall was a great film that both Jess and I thoroughly enjoyed. Maybe not as much as The Empire Strikes Back or Raiders of the Lost Ark, but much more than Batman and Robin.

Lastly, I would like to bring everyone's attention to Russell Brand who stars as British rock star and lothario Aldous Snow. This guy is is f***ing hilarious!!!!!
