How to Loose Friends and Alienate People

Post by Mike »

Starring Simon Pegg and Kirsten Dunst this charming little film is about a crude, hopeless journalist who is constantly thrown out of celebrity parties, struggling to make ends meet and 'angsty' against the world. This angst and misplaced self belief compels him to take a job in New York that is way out of his league. In a charming story with genuinely funny parts he transforms from being 'Young, Dumb and full of Come' to being a sophisticated journalist who will do anything (literally) to get the scoop and sleep with an new talent in the acting world. :lol:

As a seasoned user of public transport of the bus variety the poster for this movie had been burned onto my retina when it was out at the cinema...and now having finally seen it I can confirm that this was worth it. More than a couple of actual laugh-out-loud moments that aren't always guaranteed with a comedy of this kind made for an evening of very pleasant movie magic. As outlined by Mike, a film that I would have thought to be very predicatable and done to death had a vaguely fresh feel :-D
