A fine old-school comedy confection with a pretty fun Hawaii theme. The Jason Segel and Mila Kunis duo with the addition of Jonah Hill in a rather funny supporting role is a pleasure and overall it goes more on the retro style of comedies i.e. it relies more on story and "ordinary" humour. Maybe I could have easily handled more wacky laughs and boldness, but otherwise I had a good time.

It seemed almost impossible to convince me with any arguments about anything bearing the names Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, or Jonah Hill. After the very bad Knocked Up and the only melancholically average Superbad, I received a carefully polished surprise this time, wrapped in an authentic romantic comedy. Of course, I'm not mentioning the sexual practice with chess figures, the gallery of nude photos, or, last but not least, the royal scepter of the main character in all its glory. But thanks to Jason Segel's screenplay, everything can be seasoned however much you want, and I still see mainly sharp wit, romance, and to my enormous surprise, a few life truths that no one can take away from us. It will probably never work out so ideally for this broad group of vulgar, sexist, and horny modern idols. That's why I'll keep this little treasure for myself.

Another enjoyable comedy from Judd Apatow, plus my favorite actors from TV series: HIMYM's Marshall (Jason Segel), VM's Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell). I was captivated by the character of Aldous Snow – Sarah's new boyfriend and extravagant singer, played brilliantly by Russell Brand.

Nothing special, really, but on the other hand it was terribly cute and naive and had nice performances, so all the missteps and clichés were masked quite successfully in the end. Jason Segel fits his role perfectly, as does Mila Kunis, whose beauty surpasses even the entire Hawaiian scenery and manages to make an already easygoing film a bit more enjoyable for me. What puzzles me, though, is the much-vaunted cult of Judd Apatow. With all due respect, as beautiful as Forgetting Sarah Marshall is, I really struggle to find a single plot or emotional impulse that lifts it out of genre routine and touches the romantic in me with the same love and sincerity as some of the films by Rob Reiner, Jason Reitman or Lasse Hallstrom.

If any hope was born among comedians, then it is Jason Segel. Not only did he write the script for this film, but he also played the lead role, showed his own naturalness and, above all, made me laugh. This person already captivated me in the series "How I Met Your Mother", was the only bright spot in the film "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", and he even managed to succeed on the big screen with "The Muppets". "The Five-Year Engagement" is an incredibly entertaining film that does not rely on awkward toilet humor, but on humor that is sometimes truly clever, although there is quite a bit of less noble humor as well. I can recommend "The Five-Year Engagement" to anyone who enjoys interesting comedies, good actors, and dislikes awkwardness. Speaking of which, the impression from the film was similar to the subsequent film that I had the pleasure of seeing. That film was "Bridesmaids".
