Movie - How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)

Saw this movie recently and liked it.  I will warn you that it is formulaic and will not surprise you.  However, Simon Pegg is eminently watchable and Jeff Bridges has some incredibly funny moments.  It won't make you a better person and it definitely will not teach you anything.  But if you have some time to kill, this helps pass the time.  Basic plot summary is as follows:

1. Sidney Young (Simon Pegg) chases celebrity but has gained notoriety through his snarky articles at a small London paper.  
2. He is inexplicably hired away by Clayton Harding (Jeff Bridges) and Sidney heads to New York City.
3. Sidney's social gaffes seem destined to send him packing, all the while little glimpses of sound morals and good character shine through.
4. And the big question at the end is:  Does he gets the girl or, better yet, which girl?  Is it Kirsten Dunst or Megan Fox??

Simon Pegg has made several funny films, including Hot Fuzz and Run, Fat Boy, Run.  Both have incredibly funny moments and he is central to the movies' success (at least in my opinion and with a very generous definition of success).  On the other hand, Paul (2011) didn't make much sense to me. I guess they can't all be winners.  Big plus on the movie is the sound track.  With music from Robyn to Duffy to Motorhead to The Kinks, there is literally something for everyone.

I give the movie three stars out of five
