Synopsis:Quote:
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People follows the escapades of Sidney Young (Pegg), a small-time aspiring British celebrity journalist who is hired by an upscale magazine after catching the attention of Clayton Harding (Bridges) during an event by creating a ridiculous scene with the help of a wild pig. Turning in a new direction, Sidney begins his descent into success and re-establishes himself from lonely outsider to confidante of starlet Sophie Maes (Fox), and enters into a love affair with colleague Alison Olsen (Dunst) that will either make him or break him.

Warning! Simon Pegg and director Robert Weide are recommending that you stay away from the US Region 1 release as much as possible. There are hours of extras that MGM decided not to put on there - they ask that everyone try as hard as possible to get the UK Region 2 version. Look at Simon's posts at Peggster.net.

i think i might blind buy this one.

Sam Spade

Decided to skip this one. Trailer just looked okay.

Monkey Boy

Fox looks like Camilla Belle on the cover.

Hmmm... Camilla and Megan. Oh my.

I was disappointed to be honest, I'm just not a fan of Pegg or that foolish comedy routine.

How come Simon Pegg looks like a wax model of himself.

She's a flat actress, with terrible acting and a horrible attitude. She's comes off as a vapid, yet pretty girl in the press, and it's no wonder she's been cast in the next Diablo Cody film...OH, oh you were expecting something like "I'd hit that with an iron fist."

Well...yes, I guess I would.

I liked it modestly- and in truth apart from looking absolutly gorgeous Fox is actually really funny here. Indeed everyone bar Dunst and Pegg is on form

I haven't seen this. Trailer looks okay, the only thing kept me wanting to see this is Miss Fox though. Bummer there is no Blu release.

Probably the only movie of 2008 that I still can't decide whether I liked it or not.

Tyler Foster

It was solidly entertaining. The trailers were pretty uninspiring, but it was a really nice little movie.

It did have a wide release on October 3rd, which 3 other big movies were being released the same day, if i can remember correctly it was Nick and Norah's, Blindness and Flash of Genius, i think there were more. Thats why it did so poorly at the box office.

I love Simon Pegg, I'll give it rent and maybe a buy if I like it.

Import we go!

Yeah, that ruins the spine. But sometimes movies in Canada will just have English packaging.

I really liked this movie, definitely buying it.

If this doenst get a Blu-ray release and that damn IGOR movie does (which already has a Blu-ray release), then ill be really pissed.

Phil92

Pretty good movie and nice art. But, where's the Blu?

Gildia

I have mixed feelings about this. I haven't seen it, but it looks funny. The trailers always show the funniest parts though, so it might not be that funny. I love Simon Pegg, Jeff Bridges, and Megan Fox. The synopsis sounds retarded however. The mixed critical reaction doesn't help. I'll rent it... maybe.

This was actually a good comedy and sadly it tanked at the box office, big time. Where the hell is the Blu-ray release? I even saw the trailer n 1080p.

jackdurden

An alright movie, it should have been promoted better in the US, better than a lot of the other c**p that did well at the box office. Art is good.

wolfarcher

I liked this a lot, definitely will pick it up eventually.

BlackXmas

I wanted to see this, but it left theaters in my city after one week. I may rent this.

How did this get away with a wide release?

I really enjoyed this. I was expecting it to be c**p, so it was a pleasant suprise.

Love Simon Pegg and Jeff Bridges, but this just looks... stupid.
