Looking Back at the First Half of '08 in Filmnew
For this midyear report card, I had a hard time making a list of the best films thus far, because we've only had a few great ones. As for stinkers, the problem I had was figuring out what to cut from an ever-growing list of garbage.

The Judd Apatow Comedy Train Gets Back on Tracknew
Jason Segel, a hilarious bit player in Knocked Up, gets the limelight in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, a comedy that, while not as consistent as some of Apatow's classic efforts, certainly belongs in the same class.

Sorry, Haters: 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' is Funnynew
I didn't really start wholeheartedly imbibing the Apatow Kool-Aid until Knocked Up, but now, having taken in the Apatow-produced Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I don't expect to find myself having second thoughts about trying anything these guys put out for quite some time.

In 'Sarah Marshall,' Jason Segel Doesn't Forget the Sex Scenesnew
Segel isn't your standard movie star: He's goofy and tall and built not particularly well. But in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, he has multiple sex scenes with multiple partners, including Kristin Bell and Mila Kunis. Maybe that's because Segel, in his first leading role, also wrote the screenplay.

Full-frontal male nudity achieves de rigueur R-rated status in American cinema thanks to the shameless efforts of Judd Apatow's gang of cutting-edge writers and directors that have delivered movies like The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Superbad.
Jason Segel Bares it All in 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall'
"There aren't too many women out there who love a small penis," he says. "You're basically being judged on one issue alone. So it was terrifying."
