Forgetting Sarah Marshall: No condoms!

Thinking about seeing this movie?
Fuggedaboudit! Unless your standards are as low as the Movie Slut's.
"Forgetting SM" is a variation on the slacker-dude-meet-sophisticated-chick romantic comedy/dick flick. This time the guy is actually cute (Jason Segel) and the gal less than perfect (Kristen Bell of TV's "Veronica Mars.")
A good start. Unfortunately the groans outnumber the grins.
Funny moments, like a breakup scene with Jason in the buff — totally, are outnumbered by played out jokes — fat guys in grass skirts. Yes, we're in Hawaii...again.
In the end, the whole is far less than the sum of its parts. You do the math.
