While I love pretty much anything Simon Pegg does or says, and I seriously cannot wait for the Spring US release of Run, Fat Boy, Run, the teaser trailer for his next comedy How to Lose Friends and Alienate People leaves much to be desired. Based on Toby Young's 2003 memoir, the movie's plot description is this:
Sidney Young is a disillusioned intellectual who both adores and despises the world of celebrity, fame, and glamour. His alternative magazine, Post Modern Review, pokes fun at the media-obsessed stars and bucks trends, so when Young is offered a job at the conservative, New York-based Sharps magazine, it's something of a shock! Thus begins Sidney's descent into success — his gradual move from derided outsider to confidante of starlet Sophie Maes (Megan Fox) — and a love affair with colleague Alison Olsen (Kirsten Dunst) that will either make him or break him.
I look forward to a full trailer for the movie since this little 45-second one is pretty unsatisfying. To see the trailer for yourself and share your thoughts, read more
I read this book and it was hilarious. But just from the description the movie doesn't seem like it will be quite as witty.Leave it to Hollywood to drain the genius out of something.Also please hurry Run Fat Boy Run I can't last without Simon Pegg
