| 1:54 | The One Show feature on an actual film. So weird. |
| 5:20 | PINK! |
| 6:11 | I feel like this is Russell Brand's actual life? |
| 7:38 | I want that machine she's got for the whale music. |
| 8:32 | I'm having real trouble concentrating on the plot, if there is one. Too many famous faces, so little time! |
| 15:51 | Puff Daddy channeling the Ice Cube stare there. |
| 16:36 | "We don't lie to people. We don't do that. We just believe invalid truths." |
| 20:09 | I love London Calling. But seriously, will there ever be another song that can introduce the city in films? |
| 20:44 | Don't just randomly do a rubbish British accent, Jonah. Bless you! |
| 25:16 | Harry Potter references! |
| 30:53 | "...but the content of what you said has made me hate you." |
| 31:14 | Same universe as Sarah Marshall! |
| 32:34 | So that's Puff Daddy doing the Carlton dance in front of Pharrell. Sure, why not? |
| 38:51 | I'm basically worried about all drummers now. |
| 46:08 | "What's Lars packing in the drumstick region?" |
| 56:10 | Baby TJ Miller. Adorable. The number of people in this film! |
| 1:06:48 | Pretty sure you can't claim credit for something just cos you're related. |
| 1:14:51 | "I think your brain is full of lollipops and rainbows and cheese and wonder. Mine's slightly darker than that." |
| 1:24:49 | Pre-negotiation. |
| 1:32:24 | "I liked you before I met you." |
Thoughts
By the time we watched this film, we'd had a couple of drinks, and I think that's the only reason we enjoyed it as much as we did. It's not a very good movie, but what it has is that constant "Oh my god he's in it" and "wait a minute, that's her!" There were some funny moments, and some gross moments, and that moment when we suddenly realised it was a spin off from Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
It was entertaining enough and I think we related to it because the pair of them shared our dynamic. Me always going "okay, time for bed" and Mr C convincing me to stay up for just that little bit longer. Still, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone any time soon.
