How To Lose Friends & Alienate People...
...trailer online. Damn that long title!

How To Lose Friends & Alienate People...
The Sun has the first teaser trailer for How To Lose Friends And Alienate People, the comedy based on Tobey Young's book about a journalist (here played by Simon Pegg) heading to America to work for a Vanity Fair type magazine and stuffing it up royally. Watch it here.

There's only minimal time to get a sense of the movie, given the short running time, but we like the idea of Simon Pegg clumsiness in an almost Devil Wears Prada type setting. And the coughing on the snooty lady made us giggle. Plus, it has Jeff Bridges and, dude, he's The Dude.

What do you think?

That looks as though it should be a wee hint of a giggle. And let's be honest - who hasn't accidentally coughed up food/spittle/phlegm on someone in a lift? ... Oh, just me then. ... Read More

The trailer's rubbish. All it's done is say that this character pisses people off. It doesn't give you an idea what they're going to do about it and why you should pay nearly a tenner to see it. ... Read More

RE: Looks funny!
I really enjoyed that book. Although i didn't see Toby being quite as bumbling as Simon Pegg is portraying him. Come to think of it I thought he was a dick in the book. Now i might like the character because of Pegg. I am that shallow. ... Read More
