...That?s the case with Sarah, in which Peter finds himself devastated by the departure of his longtime girlfriend, (Kristen Bell) for another man. He (and we) will soon discover that her best acting is the real-life kind, wherein she fairly convincing portrays a nice and sympathetic young woman when, in fact, she?s hiding an icily ambitious nature under that mask. Before that happens, we have the pleasure of watching Peter crack up - can?t work (he?s a television composer), can?t sleep, can?t eat, can?t tidy up his apartment. Off he goes...
