Karl Lagerfeld is my favourite living eccentric. It was also my first introduction to Mila Kunis, who I think is gorgeous & super-funny. This movie also gave me newfound respect for Russell Brand, who is hilarious as Aldous Snow, playboy, lothario & British rock star. Of course, when he checks into the hotel, who could be staying there but Sarah Marshall… & her new boyfriend. He is instantly plunged into misery, until he’s convinced by his half-brother to take a trip to Hawaii.
