“How To Lose Friends And Alienate People looked like it might be different to the average rom-com we get these days, it looked like it was going to be a smart and satirical look at mainstream Hollywood. It isnu0026#39;t and it wasnu0026#39;t. Itu0026#39;s in exactly the same vein as Run Fat Boy Run. Iu0026#39;m not saying that itu0026#39;s a bad film because it isnu0026#39;t and neither is Run Fat Boy Run, but I just felt like Iu0026#39;d seen it all before.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe start was rushed and lacked that flowing feeling. The middle was the best part, with a couple of laugh out loud moments. The end was a walking cliché which came straight from the school of Cameron Crowe (once again not always a bad thing).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSimon Pegg stuck to his normal schtick when heu0026#39;s without Mr. Wright and Mr.Frost, playing the lovable but overall clumsy fish out of water Brit. Jeff Bridges was and still is The Dude so he can do no wrong. Kirsten Dunst stuck to her guns and Megan Fox was thrown in as the so hot at the moment crumpet.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAn entertaining film. Not bad. Not great either.”
