Review: How to Lose Friends & Alienate People
Entertainment journalists are very often the last line of defense between movies/movie stars and the general public. We work for the public and are available to disentangle cinematic takes on baseball, superheroes, various wars, Elizabethan times, romantic conquests, car chases, or what have you.

Based on a memoir by British journalist Toby Young, the very funny new film How to Lose Friends & Alienate People is to

Review: How to Lose Friends May Alienate a Few People
"I continue to admire Pegg's comic abilities, and he seems to have given it his earnest best here. But he's just not right for the part - and the story fizzles out halfway." Simon Pegg, the British actor who wrote and starred in the fiendishly clever Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, should not have been cast as the lead in How to Lose Friends & Alienate People. The character -- a journalist named Sidney Young who comes to America to break into the magazine business -- does…
