Forgetting Sarah Marshall: Totally unforgettable
You’ve gotta hand it to a guy who’s willing to bare it all (um . quite literally) on the big screen in, like, the first five minutes of a movie. This move can, after all, either make or break a film (is America really ready for full-frontal male nudity?).
