What guy hasn't been dumped? It's happened to the best of us - probably more than once. But how cool would it be to write and star in a movie about it? That's what Jason Segel does in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." He also gets to give himself the nude scenes.

Those of us who are in a relationship know that, from time to time, it's a good idea to take our significant other to a "chick flick." Here's a chance for some payback. Yes, "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" is a romantic comedy, but it's a guy flick. Segel's character, Peter Bretter, goes from being the dumpee to the dumper.

That's all well and good, but the bottom line is, whether male or female, this is an incredibly funny movie. It had me laughing out loud, which is more than I can say for most of the comedies I've seen. It's a great movie. See it!
