Review of How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)

By James Christopher (268) for Times (UK) (2,458) on 02 Oct 2008

Review of How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)

By Richard Luck (100) for Film4 (1,522) on 02 Oct 2008

Review of How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 01 Oct 2008

It's a silly film halfheartedly imagined, worth a sit only to watch Simon Pegg run amuck inside another movie that doesn't deserve him…
