Great all round movie, love Simon Pegg movies full stop. He's fantastic unlike some other uk talent that only thinks he's funny. Can't wait for Simons Comic Geek movie with Nick Frost!

Bah....another stupid american comedy. Luckily there is Simon Pegg playing here and adding some value…

Unfortunately, both Bridges and Anderson are only intermittently in the movie…

I liked this movie-especially the lesson Simon Pegg's character learns about the nature of fame, and how it really isn't worth your integrity…

By Sheryl W (7) on 03 Feb 2014

A story that won't make you feel bored, but not impressive either. I'm a bit confused by the title…

Pegg's performance is the only part of this film that makes it worthy of a watch. He's pretty funny in it…

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

By Josh Rosenblatt (154) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 19 Mar 2013

Where Young's book was a slap in the face, this movie is a kick on the backside, all hokey humor and quaint lovability…

By Todd Mccarthy (1,810) for Variety (12,700) on 06 Sep 2016

Cleverly titled but noxious British comedy…

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

By Juli R (194) on 01 Dec 2013

I like British eccentrics to a point. But all the bad behaviour in the movie falls short and just seems self-destructive…

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

By Linda M (501) on 25 Dec 2012

Very likeable but didn't compell me to pay 100% attention. I have to say that Megan Fox is INCREDIBLY hot in this movie though…
