Review of How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008) by Daniel B — 18 Nov 2009
Synopsis: Counterculture magazine editor take a job for the largest Celebrity focused magazine. Fish out of water story.
PROS.
Jeff Bridges.
First Act.
Simon Pegg.
CONS.
2nd & 3rd Acts.
Completely Conventional.
Mundane.
Final Analysis: I rented this for two reasons, Jeff Bridges & Simon Pegg. The first act is fun and quickly paced and well timed comedy. Simon Pegg is unable to transcend the mundane 2nd and 3rd acts. You have seen this film before boy meets girl, troubles, and happy ending.
LOSE THIS ONE OR ALIENATE IT.
