Plot

Sidney Young (Simon Pegg) absolutely dispises, yet is completely obsessed by, celebrities and their fabulous lifestyles. After finally blagging his way into a post-BAFTA party (having attempted to do so with a pig posing as 'Babe' no less) in order to write a celebrity expose for his publication, 'The Postmodern Review', he is shocked to find out that his antics have grabbed the attention of the Chief Editor for New York celebrity tabloid 'Sharps' Magazine. Now fully immersed in the world of celebrity, Sidney must choose between fame, fortune, success and true love. A little more Hollywood rom-com than trusty British Pegg-fest, 'How to Lose Friends and Alienate People' is still a good comedy, and enjoyable nonetheless.
