Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a hit romantic comedy that was released in 2008. It was an immediate box office success that was written by Jason Segel, who also played the lead in the film. Starring alongside him were Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis, and Russell Brand. The film was produced by Judd Apatow and directed by Nicholas Stoller.
“We’re coming up on 20 years,” Segel recently said in an interview with Vanity Fair. “It feels like a lifetime ago. We were all probably different people.”
The film follows composer Peter Bretter, who is devastated when his girlfriend dumps him. To get over her, he takes a trip to Hawaii—but ends up staying at the same resort as her and her new boyfriend.
As one reviewer on Rotten Tomatoes said, “So easy to relate to, but it's the film's unpredictable nature, great characters, and hilarious script that makes it the comedy of the year.”
Another raved, “Segel is as vulnerable on screen as any actor I can think of in recent memory, and he bookends his character's journey as a writer just perfectly. It's a funny, lovely movie, and I look forward to more from Segel.”

One of the most memorable scenes in the film involves a Dracula puppet rock opera. In real life, Segel is a fan of puppets, co-writing the script for the 2011 The Muppets film, which he also starred in. Although Forgetting Sarah Marshall is 18 years old today, there’s a chance there will be more content for fans in the future about the main character, Peter Bretter, and his puppets.
“I have an idea that I've had for a long time that I just need people to be excited about doing," Segel said in a 2023 interview with GQ. "I would like to do a special of [my Forgetting Sarah Marshall character] Peter Bretter bringing A Taste For Love to Broadway. Almost like what Lin-Manuel Miranda did with Hamilton, that special about the making of. I would love to see that, but for Peter Bretter taking the Dracula puppet musical to Broadway.”
