Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

It was produced by Judd Apatow and written by Jason Segel, who stars as a music composer who goes on vacation to Hawaii to move forward from a painful break-up. However, trouble ensues when he runs into his ex (Kristen Bell) and her new boyfriend (Russell Brand) there. Mila Kunis also stars, as Segel's new love interest. Filming began in April 2007 at the Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of Oahu Island in Hawaii. When Universal Pictures released Forgetting Sarah Marshall in North American theaters on April 18, 2008, it received critical acclaim and was a box-office hit, grossing $105 million on a $30 million production budget.
