• Forgetting Sarah Marshall takes place over one week in Hawaii. Aldous is sober, happy, in love with Sarah, and writing a children's book.
• Get Him to the Greek takes place roughly two years later. Aldous is a divorced, heroin-addicted wreck whose career is in the toilet.

The Apatow-Rogen Universe Expands: Deconstructing Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek

In the pantheon of 2000s comedy, few films have aged as gracefully—or influenced the genre as profoundly—as Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) and its spin-off sequel, Get Him to the Greek (2010). While both films stand alone as hilarious, raunchy, and surprisingly heartfelt entries, watching them back-to-back reveals a fascinating cinematic lab experiment.
