48. “How to Lose Friends & Alienate People”
I love Simon Pegg. I still love him after this movie. It shouldn’t have been made. It wasn’t good. It was predictable. It wasted the talents of Pegg, Jeff Bridges and Kirsten Dunst (her performance was actually the first of hers I have enjoyed since “The Virgin Suicides”). It never gelled. The preview looked good. I swear to god it did. I should stop watching trailers.
This is the first film with Megan Fox that I have seen. I guess I understand the attraction. I do not agree with it, but I understand it.
Thandie Newton has a cameo early in the film. It was neat to see Pegg try to charm the actress considering he played her romantic lead in his last film before this one (“Run, Fatboy, Run”). It would have been a lot neater if either film was any good.
