Sidney Young is a disillusioned intellectual who both adores and despises the world of celebrity, fame and glamor. His alternative magazine, "Post Modern Review", pokes fun at the media obsessed stars and bucks trends, and so when Young is offered a job at the diametrically opposed conservative New York based "Sharps" magazine it's something of a shock! It seems "Sharps" editor Clayton Harding is amused by Young's disruption of a post-BAFTA party with a pig posing as Babe. Thus begins Sidney's descent into success - his gradual move from derided outsider to confidante of starlet Sophie Maes. Initially helping him out at Sharps is colleague Alison Olsen, who has her own secret. Wither their friendship?
Leave your thoughts about How to Lose Friends & Alienate People.
| Apollo GuideBrian WebsterThe makings of an uncompromising, razor sharp satire were gathered together here. That the resulting movie slips off track as much as it does is particularly disappointing. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderI admire Pegg's comic abilities, and he seems to have given it his earnest best here. He's just miscast -- and the story fizzles out halfway through anyway. |
| WJFK-FM (CBS Radio)Kevin McCarthyThe flick is filled with a ton of laughs, a ton of heart and Simon Pegg is funnier than ever. HILARIOUS! |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertPossibly the best movie that could be made about Toby Young that isn't rated NC-17. |
| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinA sharp-witted satire of celebrity journalism. |
| Miami HeraldConnie OgleThis film, directed by Curb Your Enthusiasm's Robert Weide, makes an entertaining companion piece to his book. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...all bark and no bite, the behind the scenes machinations of a hugely influential magazine used as mere window dressing for an uninspired romantic comedy. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsA kind of Devil Wears Prada for blokes, the humour in this brilliantly funny media satire springs mostly from Sid's oafish manners and refusal to suck up to celebrities. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanFor viewers who can get past the turn-off of a title, they will find a film as entertaining and easy to like as it is shrewd about its subject matter. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerRegardless of your feelings towards the source material, this is an enjoyable romcom with a decent script, several laugh-out-loud gags and a host of terrific comic performances from a superb cast. |
