==Plot==
| 2008-10-10
Composer Peter Bretter ([[Jason Segel]]) has spent five years adoring his girlfriend, television star Sarah Marshall ([[Kristen Bell]]), despite living completely in her shadow. His income comes from composing the score on a highly-rated [[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation|CSI]]-type crime drama show ''Crime Scene: Scene of the Crime'', a job that in actuality mostly consists of playing repetitive "dark and ominous" tones during forensic scenes. His girlfriend Sarah whom he met on the job is a high-profile star of the show, enjoying her place in the spotlight while trying to parlay her television fame into a movie career. While writing a puppet [[Dracula]] musical called ''A Taste for Love'' on the side, Peter, on the other hand, is usually the guy left holding her purse during red carpet photo-ops and accidentally omitted from acceptance award speeches.

Things take a twist when she breaks up with him right after he assumes she wants to come over for sex, and he suddenly finds himself alone. Trying to deal with the pain of losing her, he has [[one-night stand]]s with various women, but besides becoming terrified of getting an [[Sexually transmitted disease|STD]], all this does is increase his stress and heartache and matters culminate in an on-the-job nervous breakdown.

At the suggestion of his step-brother Bryan ([[Bill Hader]]) that he go somewhere to clear his head, Peter takes an impulsive trip to [[Hawaii]], and is confronted by his worst nightmare: Sarah and her articulate, [[narcissistic]] new British-rocker boyfriend, Aldous Snow ([[Russell Brand]]) are also staying at [[Turtle Bay Resort|his resort]]. After Rachel ([[Mila Kunis]]), the sympathetic receptionist, watches the painful run-in in the hotel lobby she gives Peter a free stay at the top-end [[US dollar|$]]6,000 per night suite on the condition that he clean up after himself. In a twist of irony, Snow tries and eventually manages to make friends with Peter, while Sarah initially and wrongly suspects he's stalking her. As he torments himself with the reality of Sarah's new life, he finds relief when talking with Rachel, whose laid-back approach tempts him to rejoin the world. Although they bond and get along well, she is also reluctant to move on, because she too has been recovering from a recent heartbreak. Peter becomes friends with many of the hotel staffers and, along with Snow, also offers advice to a devout newlywed named Darald ([[Jack McBrayer]]), a Mormon who is having trouble with satisfying his new wife, Wyoma's ([[Maria Thayer]]) sexual appetite. Things take a turn for the worse when Peter is asked to vacate his suite and given a room next door to Sarah and Aldous.

Throughout the film, Peter has flashbacks which reveal the negative aspects of his old relationship, which he mostly ignored or was completely oblivious to, while Sarah remembers many of the good things she hadn't appreciated before. It is made known that she cheated on him with Aldous for about a year without him knowing, but after they break up, she now realizes that she wants him back, even more so when her relationship with Aldous fizzles and he leaves her, giving Peter a warmer farewell than Sarah. Her desperation increases when her show is canceled and she fears her name being forgotten, while wishing to keep the ounce of dignity many actresses like her don't have. In the end, when Peter comes to comfort her for her loss, she begs him to take her back. Though he is initially reluctant, they have a brief physical encounter that Peter cuts short, realizing he cannot get an erection because he is not attracted to her anymore because of years of enduring her repulsive and calculating behaviors. Deciding that she is not worth it if she didn't love him before, he tells her off, calling her the [[Devil]] as he leaves. Peter then decides to stay true to Rachel and divulges what happened between him and Sarah moments before, but it backfires – an enraged Rachel tells him to never speak to her again. Before he leaves the hotel, Peter wordlessly hands Rachel a topless photo of herself; it had been put in a local bar's wall collage by her nasty ex-boyfriend and Peter endured a beating from the bar's tough-guy owner to get the photo back to Rachel. When Peter returns home he finally finishes writing his vampire rock opera over a course of personal reflection that allows him to fully recover from his breakup. On its opening night, Rachel shows up, having been convinced by all the staff members Peter befriended at the hotel, and in the end both reconcile their differences and move on to further their relationship.

Plot

Composer Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) has spent five years adoring his girlfriend, television star Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), despite living completely in her shadow. His income comes from composing the score on a highly-rated CSI-type crime drama show Crime Scene: Scene of the Crime, a job that in actuality mostly consists of playing repetitive "dark and ominous" tones during forensic scenes. His girlfriend Sarah whom he met on the job is a high-profile star of the show, enjoying her place in the spotlight while trying to parlay her television fame into a movie career. While writing a puppet Dracula musical called A Taste for Love on the side, Peter, on the other hand, is usually the guy left holding her purse during red carpet photo-ops and accidentally omitted from acceptance award speeches.

Things take a twist when she breaks up with him right after he assumes she wants to come over for sex, and he suddenly finds himself alone. Trying to deal with the pain of losing her, he has one-night stands with various women, but besides becoming terrified of getting an STD, all this does is increase his stress and heartache and matters culminate in an on-the-job nervous breakdown.

At the suggestion of his step-brother Bryan (Bill Hader) that he go somewhere to clear his head, Peter takes an impulsive trip to Hawaii, and is confronted by his worst nightmare: Sarah and her articulate, narcissistic new British-rocker boyfriend, Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) are also staying at his resort. After Rachel (Mila Kunis), the sympathetic receptionist, watches the painful run-in in the hotel lobby she gives Peter a free stay at the top-end $6,000 per night suite on the condition that he clean up after himself. In a twist of irony, Snow tries and eventually manages to make friends with Peter, while Sarah initially and wrongly suspects he's stalking her. As he torments himself with the reality of Sarah's new life, he finds relief when talking with Rachel, whose laid-back approach tempts him to rejoin the world. Although they bond and get along well, she is also reluctant to move on, because she too has been recovering from a recent heartbreak. Peter becomes friends with many of the hotel staffers and, along with Snow, also offers advice to a devout newlywed named Darald (Jack McBrayer), a Mormon who is having trouble with satisfying his new wife, Wyoma's (Maria Thayer) sexual appetite. Things take a turn for the worse when Peter is asked to vacate his suite and given a room next door to Sarah and Aldous.

Throughout the film, Peter has flashbacks which reveal the negative aspects of his old relationship, which he mostly ignored or was completely oblivious to, while Sarah remembers many of the good things she hadn't appreciated before. It is made known that she cheated on him with Aldous for about a year without him knowing, but after they break up, she now realizes that she wants him back, even more so when her relationship with Aldous fizzles and he leaves her, giving Peter a warmer farewell than Sarah. Her desperation increases when her show is canceled and she fears her name being forgotten, while wishing to keep the ounce of dignity many actresses like her don't have. In the end, when Peter comes to comfort her for her loss, she begs him to take her back. Though he is initially reluctant, they have a brief physical encounter that Peter cuts short, realizing he cannot get an erection because he is not attracted to her anymore because of years of enduring her repulsive and calculating behaviors. Deciding that she is not worth it if she didn't love him before, he tells her off, calling her the Devil as he leaves. Peter then decides to stay true to Rachel and divulges what happened between him and Sarah moments before, but it backfires – an enraged Rachel tells him to never speak to her again. Before he leaves the hotel, Peter wordlessly hands Rachel a topless photo of herself; it had been put in a local bar's wall collage by her nasty ex-boyfriend and Peter endured a beating from the bar's tough-guy owner to get the photo back to Rachel. When Peter returns home he finally finishes writing his vampire rock opera over a course of personal reflection that allows him to fully recover from his breakup. On its opening night, Rachel shows up, having been convinced by all the staff members Peter befriended at the hotel, and in the end both reconcile their differences and move on to further their relationship.

A post-credits scene shows that Sarah later managed to get a job similar to her previous character on another crime drama called Animal Instincts which has Sarah starring as an animal psychic police officer.

Spin-off

A week after the release of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Universal Pictures announced a new film Get Him to the Greek, reteaming Jonah Hill and Russell Brand with writer/director Nicholas Stoller and producer Judd Apatow.[11] Variety initially announced the project would focus on "fresh-out-of-college insurance adjuster (Hill) who is hired to accompany an out-of-control rock star (Brand) from London to a gig at L.A.'s Greek Theater."[11] In July 2008, Brand mentioned that he would be reprising his Aldous Snow role from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, in a new film from Apatow in which the character was back on drugs.[12] In an interview with CHUD.com, Apatow would later reveal that Get Him to the Greek was indeed a spin-off of Forgetting Sarah Marshall with Brand again playing a no-longer-sober Aldous Snow, but did not state whether or not Jonah Hill would be playing a different role.
