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.

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.

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".

I don't usually have high expectations for romantic comedies, so I'm pleasantly surprised whenever one manages to captivate me. Jason Segel did a decent job as the writer and main protagonist, although there were moments when I saw too much of him. His portrayal of Peter's misery was hilarious, and the predictable plot of this romantic comedy didn't strike me as silly, which was a welcome departure from the standard. Even Mila Kunis was okay. It was quite a relaxed movie that gave me a few chuckles, keeping me entertained without resorting to cringe-worthy jokes, with only a few exceptions. I even found myself forgiving the creators for some traditional clichés as the movie put me in a really good mood. / Lesson learned: Feeling down? Consider going diving with sharks.

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.
