There have been a bit too many sharply intelligent and witty comedies lately, perhaps it wouldn't hurt to reduce the amount of gritty reality and give the audience a bit of emotions, as not everyone enjoys seeing a naked Jason Segel, who looks like he has been eating sausages washed down with powerful gulps of beer for the past few years. Mila Kunis saves a lot, her genuine character is flawless. The rest is not worth mentioning. “Reality” without any distinctive trademarks. Boring.

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.

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".

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.

Ugh. I originally wanted to stick with a one-star rating, not comment and avoid insulting the screenwriters, director, actors... All of them. But I just couldn't do it. I can say with a clear conscience that I haven't seen a more boring film with worse (non)humor in a long time. I must admit that it was simply impossible to watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall in one sitting. On almost every occasion, I would pick up my cell phone, go to the fridge, see if I'd gotten an email, and who knows what else... None of that helped. The main "hero" is an unsympathetic jerk. His ex-girlfriend is not even worth writing about. His ex-girlfriend's boyfriend is a complete idiot, whom I would torture in a way so cruel that people have been afraid to invent it yet. In terms of the other characters, one is more useless than the next. An hour and forty minutes of unfunny misery, boredom and an attempt at unconventional humor that should hopefully have resulted in some kind of lesson. Brr. As most of you can probably guess, I give one single star for Mila Kunis. But that's all.
