How To Lose Friends and Alienate People
October 19, 2008 – 5:22 pm | by Lianne Jones
Simon Pegg is Sidney Young, the kind of guy the people around him love to hate, in this amusing comedy about a British journalist trying to make his way in the industry.
Sidney is proud of his alternative publication ‘Post Modern Review’, and lives to poke fun at the celebrity culture but, his whole world is about to change when he is offered a job at a top New York magazine ‘Sharps’ by one of the most prominent editors in the business, Clayton Harding (Jeff Bridges).
His sense of style and humour isn’t appreciated by his high flying Sharps colleagues and Sidney struggles to fit in. He forms an unlikely friendship with fellow journalist Alison Olsen (Kirsten Dunst) who tries to help him adjust to the protocol of the New York celebrity scene.
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People is a great watch. It is full of humour throughout and Simon Pegg is fantastic as Sidney. It’s definitely a must see film for this autumn and fans of Pegg will love this new edition to his filmography.
