Surprisingly a funny movie to watch ... with some good acting from Pegg! If you choose to see, there are life lessons in the flick too .. otherwise just watch it for the craziness and rom-com moments!!!

I think Simon Pegg is probably better served as a comedic actor in his native British movies, he's proven himself in that field time and time…

By Ezra F (1) on 07 Mar 2014

It's a romcom with too little of both. Bridges, Anderson and Fox are good times. It's a tepid tribute to Dolce Vita and parody of Celebrity…

By Bill White (195) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 13 Jan 2014

The result is an initially hilarious picture that grows perplexingly trite as screenwriter Peter Straughan transforms Young's sly observations…

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

I love Simon Pegg. He cracks me up and this movie is little more on the serious side but uber funny none the less…

Totally underrated. Saying that my rating is a protest vote…

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 Helen O'hara (407) for Empire (3,446) on 19 Mar 2015

Not as smart or as satirical as you might hope, but an enjoyable and often funny look at a mad, mad, mad, mad world…
