Lots of jokes about sex; the first major scene involves repeated male full-frontal nudity, as well as naked backside shots. Topless photo of a lead female character. Main character is later shown having tons of one-night stands; naked breasts. Attempted oral sex. Simulated sex acts in various positions. Couples cuddle post-coitus under sheets. A man teaches another man -- who is inexperienced -- his sexual tricks by humping large chess pieces. A honeymooner laments his new bride's excessive sexual demands, complains about not being able to find part of a woman's anatomy. Casual sex, group sex, assorted sexual positions often discussed, often used as punchlines. Two couples in neighboring hotel rooms try to out-scream each other while having, or pretending to have, sex.

Frequent profanity, as well as references to and euphemisms for sex and various sexual positions. "F--k" used a lot. "Motherf----r." "Bulls--t," "s--t," "d--k," "a--hole," "pr--k." Talk of casual sex or assorted sex acts often used as punchlines throughout the movie.

Parents need to know that Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a 2008 Judd Apatow comedy in which Jason Segel plays a guy who has just been dumped and is trying to get over his ex. Segel is shown completely naked: It's brief, but we see his penis and buttocks. The movie derives much of its humor from showing or making reference to casual sex and various sex acts. In one montage, Segel's character has one-night stands with a variety of women, breasts shown. In another montage, two honeymooners are shown attempting sex in a variety of ways -- no nudity, but a lot of comical yelling and moaning. Casual sex, group sex, and masturbation are all referenced as one-liners. There's a topless picture of one of the lead female characters that is taped to a men's room wall in a bar; the lead character is shown beaten and bruised after fighting the bar owner after removing the picture from the wall. Attempted oral sex is shown and graphically discussed. Profanity is frequently used, including "f--k" and variations. Characters binge-drink -- beer, wine, cocktails -- and get extremely drunk, and make drug references. However, there's also a thoughtful message and reflection -- as comically exaggerated as it may be -- on the heartbreak, sadness, and difficulties everyone faces at some point after the end of a failed relationship, and how people find a way to try again.
