re: 10 years later, 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' is still one of the best modern comedies

All of them and several others I can't think of at the moment take massive dumps on FSM.

Let's not succomb to hyperbole. FSM isn't the best comedy movie of the last 25 years, but it's up there.

I would definitely rank it ahead of the gross-out comedies of the late 90's like American Pie and Eurotrip.

I honestly prefer it over Team America, Reno 911, and Galaxy Quest (I really love Galaxy Quest, too).

It's clearly not up to Oh Brother Where Art Thou (what is?), but it's hard to compare it to the spoofs like The Other Guys, Tropic Thunder, Dodgeball, The Campaign, Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Hot Fuzz, Fanboys, and The Last Action Hero.

I would put it on par with the more story/character-driven comedies like Role Models, Old School, Superbad, Wedding Crashers, etc.
