Forgetting Sarah Marshall

New movies:

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

As a film reviewer, I have some principles to which I adhere. One is never to review a movie I've walked out on. (At the moment, I can't think of the others.) Generally, if a movie is really a stinker, I just walk and don't review. But at other times, as with "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," the picture is so unbelievably bad that I just have to stay around to see whether it gets any worse... (Read the full review of Forgetting Sarah Marshall here.)
