In fact, the Oscar winning star could have phoned his role in as it did not require an enormous amount of effort on his part. Jeff Bridges could have been Shemped at the start of the film as he talks to Pegg’s character looking away from the camera. Sadly, there is no cure for “toe-thumbs.” Pegg looks like he has regressed age-wise from the superior television comedy Spaced and Fox looks very different as well, having not gone that final step with plastic surgery that “refined” her face, and body even further. Gillian Anderson, whose character may, or may not be a cougar who tempts Young into dancing with the devil so to speak.Įveryone in the film looks ridiculously young, no pun intended. There are a number of respectable names in the film. The romantic interest in the film is played by, alternatively, Megan Fox, who had not yet insulted her Transformer’s producer Michael Bay and Kirsten Dunst who had just finished her Spider-Man run as Mary Jane. It is fun, at the start of the film to see Thandie Newton, as herself, interacting with Pegg’s character, probably a payback for appearing together the previous year in Run Fatboy Run! and what’s wrong with that? Where Toby, renamed Sidney, for the film worked in New York for Vanity Fair magazine, Pegg’s journalist works for Jeff Bridges, in the guise of Clayton Harding owner of Sharps a celebrity focused glossy. How to Lose Friends and Alienate People is pretty much fictional from the first frame. Never mind that it took me around seven years to finally watch this film, there were reasons…Okay? Essentially, like most amusing features based upon humorous memoirs, the film is about real life, but not really. This, sort of, biopic about Brit journo Toby Young is entertaining fodder.
