It's another movie from the Apatow mill that brought us The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and Superbad. This time, Judd Apatow himself isn't so much involved. But we do have Jason Segel (who also wrote the movie), and a mean and sexy Kristen Bell (is there any other kind?) as the title's Sarah Marshall. The trailer actually makes it look like a lot of lame jokes without much of the heart or poignancy that the Apatow mill usually churns out. That said -- and I am ashamed to admit this -- I don't think it's safe to judge this movie by the trailer (I know, I know, that's the whole point of this blog, but...sometimes I just can't, okay?). The thing about the Apatow folks is that their jokes aren't usually the kind of quick, on-the-nose one-liners that trailers need (that, or they're too dirty for the trailer). So I'm going to ask you to give this movie a chance despite the sort of dumb trailer. It's sure to be filled with lengthy setups and jokes too dirty for TV, just like its predecessors.
