Review of How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008) by Mark O — 22 Nov 2009
Like Ghost town this a pretty average movie with a very predictable plot that is basically carried along by a British actor in the lead role. So how much you like them probably depends on how much you like Simon Pegg or Ricky Gervais respectively. As it happens I'm quite the Pegg fan so his gurning and mugging his way through the role provided some amusement. There's also some fun in thinking that he surely can't believe what he's getting up to with Kirsten Dunst :).
Other than that it really is a bog standard movie with very little else to recommend it or make it stand out.
So half a star above average because of Mr Pegg.
