(For Monday 1/24) Forgetting Sarah Marshall - 2008

Russell Brand shines in this movie about a man who loses his girlfriend to a super-cool rock star, only to end up staying next door to them when he takes a tropical vacation to get away from the pain of the breakup.

Uncomfortable moments abound - including a very sexually explicit song from the rock star all about his exploits with the guys ex-girlfriend. So charming. All of these things make it very difficult for him to recover from his loss - and a heart-to-heart conversation with the ex doesn't help much either.

Sometimes the best way to get over someone is to find someone else to love. In the long run, our newly-single hero realizes that he's better off without the drama - and finds someone to love him, his puppets and his awkwardness far more than the ex-girlfriend anyway.
