Forgetting Sarah Marshall is yet more quality raunchy comedy from the Apatow brand. Long may it continue if the quality remains this high.

Son of Rambow is one of the most original and inspiring independent movies of recent times, courtesy of the heart and mind of the uber-talented Garth Jennings.

Funny Games U.S. is an intriguing, but ultimately unsuccessful, attempt at playing with genre conventions and an audience’s participation.
