Jason Segel (Freaks and Geeks) wrote and stars in this comedy about a guy who does the music for a CSI type show starring his girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). After she dumps him for a Robbie Williams-ish British singer (Russell Brand, funny guy) he goes to Hawaii to get away only to find Sarah with her new boyfriend.
If you like other Judd Apatow produced movies like "Knocked Up" and "40 Year Old Virgin" you'll like this one. Like those movies there is a large cast of mostly funny people (Bill Hader, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd). Personally the thing I liked most about this movie was the fact that Segel's character is working on a play about Dracula starring muppets. The end result is something that I hope someday becomes a show of its own.

Walk Hard (The Dewey Cox Story) Dir. Jake Kasdan
"Walk Hard" tells the tale of fake musician Dewey Cox, mocking recent biopics of musicians such as "Ray", and "Walk the Line" and really mostly those two movies, with a little "Don't Look Back" and "Yellow Submarine" but mostly "Ray" and "Walk the Line".
I was pretty disappointed with this one. Not that funny. Made me laugh a couple times, but mostly I was just bored.

Hated dir. Todd Phillips (1994)
Documentary about GG Allin, lead singer of GG Allin and the Murder Junkies, who performs naked, hits himself in the face with the mic, shoves a banana up his ass, and shits on the ground and throws it at his audience in the name of rock and roll.
Pretty gross. Really gross. Kind of amusing at times. But really gross.
