If you loved "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up," head to the theater today for the Judd Apatow crew's latest: "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." We hear it's solid for some crude humor and raunchy-joke laughs.

A devastated Peter (Jason Segel) takes a getaway trip to escape the break-up he's going through with his TV star girlfriend Sarah (Kristen Bell), thinking he's escaping from it all. Turns out she was thinking the exact same thing and also shows up in Hawaii... with her new man. Of course the spot's not big enough for everyone and they keep crossing paths.

Roeper just called it one of his "Top 50 comedies of all time," and we admit, we're intrigued. To get you in the spirit, we offer you some cool things to check out in the Hawaiian islands, perfect for getting over your next breakup.

Where To Stay: Aloha Cottages, Maui Get over your newfound singleness by slipping off to one of these two secluded cottages (The Thai tree house or Bali Bungalow). They're a step up and replete with private outdoor soaking tubs, oriental carpets, granite counters and hand carved art. You won't risk running into anyone with your own private entrance and driveway.

Where To Snack: Kanemitsu's Bakery & Restaurant, Molka'i Don't miss the local legend here where you can feast on lavosh, a favorite flatbread flavored with sesame, taro, Maui onion, Parmesan cheese or jalapeño. If you're a real devotee, you'll line up at night (around 10 pm) when the fresh baked batches come out of the oven: You can get it warm and slathered in butter, jelly, cinnamon or cream cheese. It's the perfect dessert for drowning your sorrows.

What to See: Iolani Palace, Oahu The only official state residence of royalty in the US, Iolani Palace was the official residence of the Hawaiian kingdom's last two monarchs and makes for a cool touch of history in Honolulu. Steady restoration has been taking place since the '70s and the Pūlama `Ia Program (Cherished Object Program) is continually working on tracking down the palace's missing and dispersed treasures. On Fridays between noon and 1 pm, the Royal Hawaiian Band puts on free concerts on the grounds.
