After breaking up with his TV star girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Bell), songwriter Peter (Segel) is devastated. He goes to pieces. After trying and failing to get over Sarah in Los Angeles, Peter decides that he needs a change of scenery, so he heads to Hawaii. As (bad) luck would have it, Sarah is there, at the same hotel, with her new boyfriend, rocker Aldous Snow (Brand).

The screenplay was written by SegalSegel, best known for his role in "How I Met Your Mother" and you've gotta admire someone who actually writes for himself a character who does the 'full monty' several times in the film. I think that actually adds to the vulnerability of Peter. The men in this movie (Segal Segel and Brand, as well as Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill and Jack McBrayer) tend to stand out, providing most of the comedic aspects, but the female characters manage to hold their own. For me, one of the funniest parts was when they effectively bagged out Kristen Bell for her role in B-grade horror Pulse. Being from the producer of Knocked Up and The 40 Year Old Virgin, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is another one of those rom-coms that will appeal to guys as much as, if not more than, it does to the ladies.

With Step Up 2: the Streets you get energetic dance moves, throbbing music that uses every channel of our digital sound system, and good lookinggood-looking dancers who look even better when slicked down with water. To enjoy this film you have to love all of that stuff... and be willing to forget about the average acting, poor storyline, and embarrassing sermonizing sermonising about everyone getting along together.

The plot, if you want to call it that, centres on Andie, a street dancer with Baltimore's most intimidating dance crew, the 410. Andie is given a chance to attend the prestigious Maryland School of the Arts and then struggles to find her place in these two worlds.

Although the movie poses as a sequel to Step Up, it has little to do with its predecessor except being set in a dance academy. So don't be put off by it being a sequel. Although it may be obvious to some, I can't stress more strongly that you have to enjoy dancing to enjoy this film. But if you do, then some dance scenes (particularly the last one) will take your breath away.

Warning: If, like me, you're uncoordinated, lack rhythm and don't have the body of a dancer then be prepared for some jealous moments. But remember, it is only a movie and humiliation can be as close as a dance class away.
