Stoller delivered a highly-entertaining raunchy humor and romantic situations throughout his film. Majority of DVD movie reviews compared Forgetting Sarah Marshall to some of Judd Appatow films such as "The 40-Year Old Virgin", "Superbad" and "Knocked Up" in terms of raunchy content or conceptualization. The film's DVD edition comes in a "Collector's Edition" package . The Collector's Edition of Forgetting Sarah Marshall includes the "Theatrical" and "Unrated" version.

"The Ugly Truth" is a Romantic Comedy film that was released in July 2009. The film stars Katherine Heigl and Gerald Butler portraying the roles of total opposite individuals from different viewpoints of life. Heigl is an intimidating television producer who was assigned to produce a program entitled "The Ugly Truth" which is hosted by a rugged and annoying relationship adviser played by Butler. Throughout the film, both characters will discover each other's professional and personal differences by teaching each other lessons on understanding men and women about sex and relationships.
