Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Russell Brand, Kristen Bell)

I didn't really like Brand either, but after seeing him in some of those clips he is pretty funny.

And if you liked Knocked Up and Superbad, then no doubt you'll like this.

I haven't seen this yet, but am looking forward to it.

Russell Brand is a scream, but is obviously not going to be to everybody's taste if they don't really get him and his type of humour.

I didn't like Knocked Up or Superbad.....yep, I thought they were sh*t movies

But I'm looking forward to this simply because I'm a big fan of Russell's type of humour.

I would like to bet that even if the whole movie is bad, that he is still hilarious in it

I reckon very good.

I think I'm gonna save this up for next week as I'm off to see Street Kings tomorrow.

I'll be honest, I'm in love with Kristen Bell, anyone think I have a chance? Haha.

Heh. You can get in the queue. There is a scene in the trailer that is just jaw-dropping... I'm sure you know the one!

Well if you like Russell you will defiantly like him in the film.
I went with frienRAB who didn't really have an opinion about him, they actually thought he was hilarious in the film.
I don't think the film wouldn't be the same without him, has some of the best one-liners.
Had the audience in stitches.

Russell Brand steals the movie.
Give him a chance.

**Connie Sue** · 10-21-2010, 11:31 PM

She's Mine!!!!

But honestly, Kristen Bell is just flat out gorgeous (Did I spell that right lol)

Really looking forward to this film.

Really?

How on earth has he managed to get this break?

What I mean is that I wouldn't have thought that American producers will have been aware of any high profile work of his....but it appears that he's not got one...but four big movie roles off the bat just like that.

I wonder what happened there. Because it's not as though British comedians suddenly get this sort of success.
Even Rowan Atkinson or Steve Coogan didn't make such instant progress in Hollywood.

I mean I really like Russell Brand, but what did these producers base their casting decisions on?
'Big Brother's Big Mouth'?
His 'Ponderland' series?
Usually you'd think that somebody such as Russell Brand would need to have done a lot more on his CV and be known for an impressive body of work for them to even get a chance of a shot.
Do you see where I'm coming from?

It just seems incredible that he's had such a lucky break here to get four big Hollywood film roles.

Maybe they were just simply blown away at the auditions and could spot something in him that they felt absolutely 100% confident in taking the risk on him.

Anyway, I'm pleased for him I have to say, despite me being completely baffled at how it was even possible for him to get a break in Hollywood like this.
Even Ricky Gervais hasn't had proper roles in a major Hollywood film other than cameos yet has he?
That's why I'm baffled at Russell landing on his feet like this.
This is seriously big time.
Peter Sellers is the last British comedian I can remember being a major Hollywood movie star doing successful comedy films, and if these four films do well he's seriously in the major A-list big league.
In fact it's only relatively recently that Russell Brand has become known widely in the British mainstream let alone American. Even last year you'd hear people say that they'd heard of his name but hadn't really seen him in anything.
