I just happened to be reading the sypnosis for the movie 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' when I noticed the adjectives 'tragically hip' associated with her 'rocker' boyfriend included...this can't be a coincidence...

I won't be seeing this movie, I was just going through upcoming movies, but I thought it was an interesting and perhaps coincidental(?) use of words...

Synopsis:
From the producers of The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up comes a comic look at one guy's arduous quest to grow up and get over the heartbreak of being dumped -- if he can only make himself start Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Struggling musician Peter Bretter (Jason Segel, How I Met Your Mother) has spent six years idolizing his girlfriend, television star Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell, Veronica Mars). He's the guy left holding her purse in paparazzi photos and accidentally omitted from acceptance award speeches. But his world is rocked when she dumps him and Peter finds himself alone. After an unsuccessful bout of womanizing and an on-the-job nervous breakdown, he sees that not having Sarah may just ruin his life.

To clear his head, Peter takes an impulsive trip to Hawaii, where he is confronted by his worst nightmare: his ex and her tragically hip new British-rocker boyfriend, Aldous (Russell Brand), are sharing his hotel. But as he torments himself with the reality of Sarah's new life, he finds relief in a flirtation with Rachel (Mila Kunis), a beautiful resort employee whose laid-back approach tempts him to rejoin the world. He also finds relief in several hundred embarrassing, fruity cocktails.

For anyone who has ever had their heart ripped out and cut into a billion pieces comes a hilarious, heartfelt look at relationships -- featuring Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill, Bill Hader and Jack McBrayer. Part romantic comedy, part disaster film, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is the world's first romantic disaster comedy.

This is not Hip related at all.

Fair enough - how can I move it to the non-hip related forum?

In this ongoing stretch devoid of new material, some of us are really, really stretching it...

We're going to see this film today - I'll let you know if there is a Hip connection.

No Hip connections in the film, but lots of laughs. Right up there with Superbad in my books.

Yup. The Judd Apatow comedy machine continues to produce gold. Did you see the trailer for Pineapple Express? That's his next directorial effort, and it looks hilarious.

Good recovery after the disaster known as "Drillbit Taylor".
That was awful.

I felt like an idiot though... I was probably the only one in the theatre laughing at Billy Baldwin's one liners haha

There were many times throughout the film that we thought we were the only ones laughing - which was odd because many of those times were laugh out loud funny!

It does look hilarious:

I can do without the full front naked guy scenes, though
